Your driveway is the first thing people see when they approach your home or business—and over time, it’s also one of the most exposed areas to dirt, oil stains, algae, moss, and general wear. A dull, stained, or weed-ridden driveway can drag down your property's appearance and value. That’s where professional driveway pressure washing comes in.

At APE Cleaning, we specialise in high-quality exterior cleaning, including powerful and safe pressure washing for driveways of all shapes, sizes, and materials. Whether your driveway is block-paved, tarmac, concrete, or resin-bound, our experienced team can bring it back to life quickly and affordably.

Why Your Driveway Needs Pressure Washing

Driveways collect everything—dirt, tyre marks, oil drips, algae, moss, and weather-related debris. This buildup doesn’t just look bad; it can also make the surface slippery, uneven, and prone to damage.

Here’s why driveway pressure washing is essential for maintaining your property:

1. Instantly Improves Curb Appeal

A clean driveway dramatically boosts the overall appearance of your home. It gives your exterior a fresh, well-maintained look that’s especially important if you’re selling or renting the property.

2. Removes Slippery Algae and Moss

Over time, driveways become breeding grounds for moss and algae, which can turn the surface into a slipping hazard—especially in wet conditions. Our pressure washing service eliminates these safely.

3. Prevents Long-Term Surface Damage

Built-up grime and organic matter can cause surface wear, cracking, and erosion. Regular cleaning helps extend the life of your driveway material.

4. Saves Time and Money

DIY cleaning methods rarely provide the same deep clean as a professional pressure washer. Investing in expert cleaning saves time and ensures a longer-lasting, more effective result.

What Types of Driveways Can Be Pressure Washed?

At APE Cleaning, we tailor our equipment and techniques to suit your driveway material. Our team is trained to clean:

• Block paving: We remove weeds, dirt, and sand displacement, then re-sand where necessary.

• Concrete: High-pressure cleaning lifts tough stains without damaging the surface.

• Tarmac: Gentle yet effective methods that avoid damaging the binder.

• Resin-bound surfaces: Lower pressure to protect the aggregate bond while lifting dirt and algae.

• Pattern imprinted concrete: We carefully clean the surface and can reseal upon request.

No matter the material, we ensure your driveway looks clean, bright, and safe after just one visit.

Our Driveway Pressure Washing Process

Site Assessment

We inspect the surface to determine the best pressure level and identify any problem areas (e.g. oil stains, moss patches, loose blocks).

Debris and Weed Removal

We clear the surface of leaves, stones, and weeds before pressure washing begins.

Deep Pressure Wash

Using commercial-grade equipment, we apply targeted high-pressure water jets to remove dirt, moss, algae, and staining.

Stain Treatment (Optional)

Oil or rust stains are treated with specialist cleaning agents to break down and lift the residue.

Sanding and Sealing (Optional)

For block paving, we re-sand the joints to stabilise the structure and reduce weed regrowth. Sealing is available as an added protective measure.
