FAQs
How often should I clean my driveway or patio?
Most surfaces benefit from an annual clean. Shaded or damp areas may need treatment every 6–9 months to keep algae at bay.
How long does driveway sealing last?
Typically 2–4 years depending on traffic, exposure, and substrate. High-traffic or south-facing areas may require more frequent top-ups.
Will patio cleaning damage my pointing or slabs?
When pressure and nozzles are matched to the material and joint condition, cleaning safely removes grime without dislodging mortar or marking stone.
What’s the difference between decking cleaning and decking staining?
Cleaning restores grip and removes contaminants. Staining adds colour, nourishes timber, and provides UV and moisture protection for longer-lasting results.
