Driveway & Patio Cleaning
Driveways and patios take more wear than almost any other part of a property. Cars, foot traffic, weather, and constant moisture all take their toll over time. Gradually, surfaces lose colour, algae and moss build up, and areas that were once safe underfoot become slippery.
We provide professional driveway cleaning and patio cleaning services to restore outdoor surfaces properly, using the right method for each material rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Why driveways and patios get dirty
Most build-up isn’t caused by dirt alone. It’s moisture.
Surfaces that stay damp for longer are more likely to grow algae and moss. North-facing areas or shaded sections dry more slowly and are usually where green growth appears first. South-facing areas tend to dry quicker and often stay cleaner for longer.
This is why some parts of a driveway or patio look worse than others, even when they’re made from the same material.
Cleaning different surfaces properly
Every surface reacts differently to cleaning, which is why method matters.
- Block paving and concrete collect algae in joints and textured areas
- Stone patios hold moisture in natural pores
- Tarmac driveways fade and weaken if treated too aggressively
Cleaning is adjusted based on the surface, its condition, and how much build-up is present. The aim is to clean thoroughly without damaging the material underneath.

Tarmac driveways and sealing
Tarmac needs particular care. Using excessive pressure on tarmac can damage the surface and shorten its lifespan. Once cleaned, tarmac is finished with Tarmac Seal, a well-known product designed to restore colour and protect the surface.
Sealing helps prevent water penetration, slows down wear, and keeps the driveway looking darker and more even for longer.
Kerb appeal and first impressions
A clean driveway is often the first thing people see when approaching a house.
If a driveway is covered in weeds, moss, or heavy staining, it creates doubt about how the rest of the property has been looked after. A clean, tidy driveway has the opposite effect. It gives the impression that the house is maintained and cared for.
The same applies to patios. Clean outdoor spaces make the whole property feel better kept.

Our Process
At Dirty Exterior Cleaning, our approach to driveway and patio cleaning is both comprehensive and detail-oriented, ensuring your outdoor areas are left looking their best. Our carefully honed process is designed to tackle every aspect of exterior cleaning with precision and care.
Step 1: The Preparation
Preparation is key at Dirty Exterior Cleaning. We start by ensuring the area is accessible, with a water supply ideally from an outside tap. We carefully move any obstacles, such as planters and benches, which we’ll return to their original spots once we’re done. Our team pays special attention to spots that may require more intensive care, identifying and treating areas with black spot, white spot, and the like with a targeted solution to ensure a thorough clean.
Step 2: The Turbo Clean
With the latest and most powerful cleaning technology at our disposal, our jet wash and powerful turbo rotary cleaners operate at over 4000 psi. This high pressure allows us to deeply penetrate within the block paving, effectively removing old sand, mud, and the most stubbornly rooted weeds, setting the stage for a pristine finish.
Step 3: The Chemical Wash
Following the turbo clean, we apply a chemical wash specifically formulated for block paving and stone surfaces. This step is vital as the chemical treatment not only restores the visual appeal of the driveway but also works beneath the surface to eradicate any remaining weed roots. This thorough chemical treatment ensures a deeper clean and prepares the surface for the final touches, enhancing the overall health and longevity of your driveway.
Step 4: Sanding
After the surface is clean and free from weeds, we proceed with sanding. We use only the best kiln-dried sand, chosen for its fine grains that snugly fit into every crevice, reinforcing the stability of the paving. This is especially crucial for driveways that bear the weight of vehicles, as it ensures the paving remains robust and well-supported after the cleaning process.
Step 5: The Clean Down
The final step in our process is the clean down, which we consider to be one of the most critical stages. We meticulously wash down windows, doors, and frames to remove any splashes from the jet washing. We extend this thorough cleaning to any affected neighbouring properties and vehicles, ensuring that we leave your surroundings in impeccable condition. Our commitment to detail and neighbourly respect is paramount, as we strive to ensure satisfaction for all parties involved.
