What affects the price?
Size of the driveway
The biggest factor. Larger driveways take longer and use more water and cleaning products. Most jobs are priced per square metre, or assessed based on the overall job time.
Surface type
Block paving, concrete, tarmac, resin and porcelain all clean differently. Block paving often takes longer due to the joints and texture. Resin and porcelain require a more careful approach to avoid damage.
Condition and staining
A drive that hasn't been cleaned for several years with heavy oil stains, black spot lichen or compacted moss will take more time to restore than one that's had annual maintenance. Heavy staining may also require pre-treatment.
Access and obstacles
Cars, gates, bins or tight access can add time. We always do our best to work around what's there.
Re-sanding (block paving)
If you have block paving, pressure washing removes the jointing sand between the blocks. Re-sanding afterwards helps prevent weeds and keeps the surface stable. This is typically offered as an add-on and charged separately.
Is it worth having your driveway professionally cleaned?
In most cases, yes. A professionally cleaned driveway can:
- Significantly improve your home's kerb appeal
- Remove lichen, algae and black spot that DIY washing can't fully shift
- Make the surface safer — wet algae is slippery
- Add value to the property's appearance before sale
- Last much longer between cleans with a biocide treatment
Most customers in Oldham tell us their driveway looks like a completely different surface after a proper clean — especially block paving and concrete.
