Our Expertise in Driveway Cleaning, Cork
Not every driveway is the same. Some are concrete, some are tarmac, others are block paving or stone and each one needs a slightly different approach.
Our expert team has a record of long experience to understand every situation, so we start by clearing off the surface dirt. Then, we focus on the real problem (moss, algae, oil stains, and deep buildup). The pressure is always adjusted to suit the material, keeping in mind that nothing gets damaged in the process.
For areas with heavy growth, we treat the surface to kill it at the source so that it doesn’t come straight back after a few weeks. If needed, we can also apply a protective treatment to help keep your driveway cleaner for longer.
Most jobs are done in a day, so you’re not dealing with long disruption. Here’s how our team uses driveway cleaning methods for different surface types in detail–
- Block Paving: Requires professional pressure washing followed by kiln-dried sand re-sanding. Sealing is often recommended to help prevent weed growth and keep the surface stable.
- Tarmac or Tarmacadam: Needs gentle pressure washing to avoid loosening the
- Concrete: Can handle higher pressure cleaning, so degreasers are often used to remove tough oil stains and heavy soiling.
- Cobblestone or Natural Stone: Carefully pressure cleaned to restore the natural colour and texture. We recommend re-sealing for protection, with options like Sika sand used for a long-lasting finish.

FAQs
What types of driveways can you clean?
We clean concrete, tarmac, block paving, cobblestone, and natural stone. Each surface is handled the right way.
How often should I clean my driveway?
Once a year is usually enough for most homes. If your driveway gets a lot of shade or moss growth, you might need it done more often.
Do you remove moss and algae completely?
Yes, we remove the buildup and treat the surface to reduce regrowth. It won’t come back overnight.
Will the stains come back after cleaning?
General dirt won’t come back quickly. Moss and algae can return over time, but we treat the surface to slow that dow
Will pressure washing damage my driveway?
Not when it’s done properly. We adjust the pressure based on the surface, so it gets cleaned without causing damage.
Can you remove oil stains from driveways?
Yes, we can reduce or remove most oil stains. Some older stains may not disappear completely, but they’ll look much better.
Is it safe for pets and plants?
Yes, we take care around plants and use safe cleaning methods. It’s best to keep pets inside while the work is being done.
Do I need to prepare anything before cleaning?
Just clear the area, move the cars, or anything sitting in the driveway. We’ll take care of the rest.
Why do I need re-sanding after cleaning?
High-pressure cleaning can wash out the jointing sand between block paving joints. Adding fresh sand helps keep the blocks locked in place, reduces movement, and helps stop weeds returning. It’s an important step for keeping your driveway stable and tidy.
How much does driveway cleaning cost?
The cost depends on the size of the driveway, the surface type, and how much dirt, moss, or staining needs removed. Smaller jobs cost less, while larger or heavily soiled areas may need more time and cost. The best way to get an accurate price is with a free quote from our experts.
What are the benefits of sealing my driveway?
Sealing helps protect the surface from stains, weather damage, weeds, and fading. It can also enhance the colour of the paving and make future cleaning easier. Many homeowners choose sealing to keep their driveway looking fresh for longer.
