Our Specialist 4-Stage Driveway Restoration Process
Standard pressure washing often leaves behind “black spots” and causes block paving to become unstable. Our specialized process solves these problems:
-
Industrial Rotary Cleaning: We use petrol-powered, high-BAR rotary surface cleaners. Unlike a standard pressure washer lance, these “Whirlaways” provide a deep, uniform clean without leaving “zebra stripes” or damaging the surface.
-
Lichen & ‘Black Spot’ Treatment: Many driveways in West Yorkshire suffer from Lichen (black spots). We apply a professional-grade fungicidal wash (Biocide) that kills these organisms at the root, ensuring they don’t grow back weeks later.
-
Oil & Stain Removal: We utilize specialized degreasers to treat unsightly oil leaks on concrete and tarmac, lifting the stain without eroding the substrate.
-
Kiln-Dried Re-Sanding (Essential for Block Paving): Cleaning block paving removes the jointing sand that holds the driveway together. Once the surface is 100% dry, we return to brush in premium kiln-dried sand to stabilize the blocks and prevent future weed growth.
Expertise Across All Driveway Surfaces
We understand that different materials require different pressures and chemicals. We specialize in:
-
Block Paving: Deep cleaning, weed removal, and full joint re-sanding.
-
Tarmac & Resin: Soft-wash techniques to remove moss and algae without causing “fretting” (stone loss).
-
Pattern Imprinted Concrete: High-pressure cleaning and optional anti-slip sealing to restore original color.
-
Concrete & Flags: Heavy-duty cleaning to lift oil stains and tire marks.
In addition to driveways, we also offer standalone cleaning for garden patios, decking, and exterior walls. For more information on our general outdoor cleaning services, head over to our Pressure Washing Wakefield page for a free estimate.

Specialist Block Paving Cleaning & Structural Restoration
Block paving is a significant investment in your property’s kerb appeal, but over time, the joints lose their sand, allowing weeds to take over and blocks to become unstable. We don’t just “wash” the surface—we restore the integrity of the entire driveway.
-
Deep-Clean Weed Removal: Using industrial-grade rotary cleaners, we clear deep-rooted weeds and moss from the joints that standard pressure washers simply cannot reach.
-
Stabilizing Kiln-Dried Re-Sanding: Cleaning naturally removes the sand that holds your driveway together. Once the surface is 100% dry, we return to brush in premium kiln-dried sand. This is a vital step to stabilize the blocks and prevent the foundation from shifting or sinking.
-
Long-Term Weed Inhibitor: After re-sanding, we can apply professional-grade fungicidal treatments to the joints. This creates a hostile environment for new weed seeds, keeping your driveway looking “just-installed” for significantly longer.
-
The Finished Look: By restoring the sand levels and removing years of grime, we bring back the original colour and sharp lines of your paving, transforming the entire front of your home.
