Coulsdon’s downland setting means driveways often pick up windblown dirt, algae and moss, especially after wet spells. Our team cleans block paving, resin and concrete surfaces and leaves them looking sharp without harsh damage. We regularly work around CR5, including Old Coulsdon and routes leading towards Farthing Downs. If your surface has become slippery or patchy, we can make it safer and smarter in a single visit.
The Coulsdon area has a mix of large detached homes, well-kept 1930s properties and newer developments with modern paving. Each surface needs the right pressure and detergent choice to avoid scarring, joint loss or etching. We’re used to long drives, shared access points and parking constraints in places like Chipstead Valley and Hooley. That local experience helps us plan the job properly and keep disruption to a minimum.
We start with an assessment of the surface type and problem areas, then carry out pressure washing, moss removal and targeted weed treatment. Oil stain removal is handled with specialist products before a final rinse and tidy-up. For block paving, we re-sand joints once fully dry, and sealing is available to help slow regrowth and staining. Homeowners choose us for careful workmanship, clear communication and results that last.
Driveways in the London Borough of Croydon often face shaded sections, leaf litter and damp patches that encourage algae. In Coulsdon, semi-rural edges near Happy Valley and Coulsdon Common can mean more organic debris and faster moss regrowth. We adjust pressure settings for older concrete and 1930s paving, and we plan water use and run-off sensibly for sloped drives. Access and parking are considered before we start so the job runs smoothly.

Most driveway cleaning in the Coulsdon area is priced at around £3–£8 per square metre, depending on surface type and condition. Typical totals are often £150–£400 for an average-sized drive. Costs can rise for heavy moss, deep oil staining, awkward access, or if you add re-sanding and sealing. We’ll confirm the most suitable approach after a quick look at the driveway.
Most jobs take around half a day, which suits many properties in CR5 with standard access. Time varies with driveway size, the amount of moss and weed growth, and whether oil stain removal is needed. Block paving also needs drying time before re-sanding, and sealing is usually scheduled once the surface is fully dry and conditions are suitable. We’ll advise the best timing when we book you in.
Driveway cleaning is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s maintenance rather than construction. That said, we still work responsibly with water run-off, detergents and noise, especially where properties are close together or near public footpaths. If there are specific site constraints, shared drives, or local restrictions, we’ll flag them early. We can also advise on best practice to keep everything compliant and considerate.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying sealing applications, covering issues such as premature sealant failure when the surface has been properly prepared and maintained. Cleaning results will naturally vary with weather, shade and ongoing use, but we aim for a consistent, even finish and will address any missed areas promptly. We’ll also provide aftercare guidance to help slow moss and weed return.
We clean and refresh common driveway materials including block paving, concrete, tarmac and resin-bound surfaces. Finish options include weed treatment, oil stain removal, re-sanding for block paving joints, and sealing to help reduce staining and algae regrowth. We’ll recommend the right combination based on your driveway’s condition, drainage and how much shade it gets. If you’re unsure, we can explain the pros and cons before you decide.
