Northampton’s Driveway & Patio Cleaners
Ever since 2021, we’ve cleaned driveways and patios across Northampton, regardless of their surface: block paving on the newer estates in Upton and Grange Park, old concrete and slabs in town, natural stone, and tarmac. We have 100+ five-star Google reviews, and you never have to pay deposits.
In this area, it’s common for hard surfaces to get green and slippery. The weather is wet, and patios, paths, and driveways sit in shade for hours throughout the day. Moss, algae, and weeds grow in the joints and across the surface. Under the dirt, block paving loses its colour.
We carry £5 million of public liability insurance and possess IPAF and CSCS safety cards. There’s no call centre—Peter himself takes all calls. Typically, we clean driveways and patios in half a day to a day. You will pay us after we finish, and you like our results.
“Pete did an excellent job of jet washing my driveway and rear patio, which was block paved. Looks like new, would definitely recommend.”
Why Clean Your Driveway & Patio?
A dirty driveway or patio isn’t just unsightly. If not handled, here’s what to expect:
- It gets slippery and unsafe. Paving gets slippery from green algae and moss, especially in wet weather. Clean paving is safe for you and your loved ones.
- It wears the surface out faster. Moss and weeds retain damp in the joints and against the surface. Over the years, it breaks down the material.
- It drags down kerb appeal and value. One of the first things people see is the driveway. When it’s clean, it tells people you care for your household.
- The colour comes back. Typically, under the dirt, block paving and stone look faded. An effective, safe cleaning will restore it to its original look, including the two-tone it had when new.
In just a few hours, our professional cleaning addresses all issues. Plus, we don’t leave any mess behind.
The Right Pressure for Every Surface
The difference between a good and a bad job comes from the pressure. A “turn it up full and blast” approach isn’t effective. When there’s too much pressure, soft surfaces get damaged. If there’s not enough, the job won’t be done in full. We always use the right pressure and method for the material we clean.
HARD SURFACES
Full pressure, even finish
Concrete, tarmac, and block paving get a rotary surface cleaner at full pressure. The pressure is evenly distributed, for a uniform finish with no striping.
SOFTER SURFACES
Controlled, lower pressure
Sandstone, limestone, aged brick, and painted areas get controlled pressure at a lower setting—to clean dirt without damaging the surface or stripping the finish.
OIL & GREASE
Hot water at 80–90°C
Oil, grease, and fuel stains are treated with hot water at 80 to 90 degrees, because, unlike cold water, it breaks the oil down on contact.
HERITAGE
Low-pressure steam
Delicate or heritage surfaces are cleaned with low-pressure steam. It’s heat, not force, that cleans.
We never use high pressure on render or roof tiles
This is the principle we swear by to protect your home. Render and roof tiles don’t benefit from jet washing, but from soft washing. If the render or roof needs cleaning, check out our render soft washing in Northampton and roof moss removal in Northampton pages.
Surfaces We Clean
We remove moss, algae, weeds, dirt, oil, and grime from every hard surface around your home—and set the correct pressure and method for each one.
Block paving
Without shifting the blocks, the rotary cleaner lifts moss and dirt from between them. Then we re-sand the joints with kiln-dried sand, restoring the paving to like-new. One of our most requested services.
Concrete and tarmac
For an even finish, we go full pressure with a rotary cleaner. To lift oil and grease off paths, driveways, and garage floors, we use hot water. Old, stained concrete starts looking brighter.
Natural stone and sandstone
To protect the surface, we use lower pressure. Sandstone, limestone, York stone, and slate patios will look impressive after cleaning. Often, the difference is dramatic.
Imprinted & patterned concrete
We use the safe pressure when cleaning flagstone, porcelain, concrete slab, and imprinted (pattern) concrete—bringing the two-tone colour back.
Walls & brickwork
Garden walls, retaining walls, and brick steps cleaned with controlled pressure—lifting moss and black staining without damaging the brick.
Patios, paths & steps
Flagstone, porcelain, and concrete-slab patios, paths, and steps, all cleaned at the safe pressure for the material.
Cleaned, then re-sanded
After the rotary cleaner lifts the moss and dirt, we re-sand the joints with kiln-dried sand—locking the blocks back in and restoring the two-tone finish in a single visit.
Driveway & Patio Cleaning in Northampton: A Typical Job
Since we clean block paving driveways most weeks in Northampton, the next example can give you an idea of our work. The entire surface of a driveway was green and dark, and moss was thick in the joints. Using the rotary surface cleaner at full pressure, we’ve lifted the moss and dirt out of the joints. Afterwards, we used kiln-dried sand to re-sand it. In just one visit, we’ve managed to make the blocks look clean, even with a two-tone finish, and locked the joints back in.

“Fabulous job. I had no idea the block paving was two colours until today. They worked really hard into the late evening to get it finished.”

No, when done correctly. We don’t use a single jet that risks blasting out the sand and shifting the blocks. Instead, we use a rotary surface cleaner that spreads the pressure evenly. To lock the blocks in place, we follow the cleaning with re-sanding them with kiln-dried sand.
