Natural stone cleaning.
Natural stone patios and paths can look beautiful when first put down but can quickly become dirty. We can clean the patio then if required seal the stone to help maintain the appearance for longer. To keep the area looking at its best, a quick sweep then rinse down with a hose every couple of months is all that’s required.
Block paving.
To clean block paving driveways or patios we first might need to apply a weed killer depending of the condition. In the cleaning process we will clear out all the joints of the sand that was in there, and weeds and moss. Once the area is clean and tidy we will return to re-sand the area. We would also recommend getting the driveway sealed. This will set the sand in the gaps and help prevent weeds from coming through. It will also give added protection for any spills that might happen. To keep the area looking at its best, a quick sweep then rinse down with a hose every couple of months is all that’s required.
Tarmac
We can clean your tarmac surface, repair and cracks or pot holes and then restore the surface with a tarmac restorer.

Can you get black spot out of a patio?
We will deep clean the patio using the appropriate cleaning methods for the surface. But black spot is very hard to remove, persistent pressure washing can also damage the surface. So we get off as much as we can then we apply a biocide treatment to help kill off the black spot. This over time will help to lighten and remove the deeply imbedded black spot. Having the area annually cleaned will help to reduce the black spot.
