From Dulwich Village to East Dulwich, driveways quickly pick up algae, tyre marks and wind-blown grime. Our team cleans block paving, tarmac and natural stone using controlled pressure washing and targeted treatments. If you’re near Dulwich Park or along SE21 and SE22, we can usually reach you within 20 minutes. The result is a brighter surface with improved grip and a noticeably tidier frontage.
Dulwich is known for its affluent village atmosphere and outstanding period architecture, and many homes have smart forecourts to match. We regularly work on Georgian and Victorian houses, plus large detached properties with wider driveways and edging details. In West Dulwich and Herne Hill, we often see older block paving that benefits from re-sanding after a deep clean. We tailor the method to protect pointing, borders, drainage channels and planted areas.
We start with an on-site assessment, then apply moss removal and weed treatment before pressure washing to lift embedded dirt. Oil stain removal is handled with specialist degreasers, followed by a thorough rinse and tidy-up. Where appropriate, we re-sand block paving joints and can apply sealing to help slow regrowth and staining. Homeowners trust us for clear communication, careful workmanship and a finish that looks professionally maintained.
As a regular provider of driveway cleaning in London Borough of Southwark, we plan around residential parking controls and narrow access points common near Dulwich Village. Shaded driveways close to mature trees can see faster moss and algae build-up, so we adjust pre-treatment and rinse cycles. We also take care to manage run-off responsibly and protect nearby planting beds and thresholds. Our approach suits everything from compact forecourts to larger detached plots.

Most Driveway Cleaning in Dulwich is priced by area and condition, typically £3–£8 per square metre. As a guide, many homeowners pay around £150–£400 for a standard domestic driveway. Costs vary with surface type (block paving, tarmac, stone), level of moss or oil staining, and whether you add re-sanding or sealing. We’ll confirm the best approach after a quick inspection.
Most jobs take around half a day, though timings depend on driveway size, access, and how much moss, weed growth or oil staining needs treatment. Block paving can take longer if re-sanding is included, as joints need time to dry before fresh kiln-dried sand is brushed in. Sealing may add additional drying and curing time. We’ll give a realistic schedule before starting.
In most cases, driveway cleaning is classed as routine maintenance and doesn’t require planning permission. That said, some properties in the London Borough of Southwark may have specific considerations, such as conservation area expectations or restrictions relating to run-off and drainage. We work with controlled water use and sensible run-off management, and we’ll flag any potential issues we notice on arrival. If in doubt, we’ll advise what to check.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on applicable treatments we install, such as sealing, and on re-sanding workmanship where specified. It covers issues caused by poor application or premature failure under normal domestic use. It doesn’t cover new staining, accidental damage, or regrowth caused by ongoing shade and moisture, but we’ll advise on maintenance to keep results looking their best.
We clean and refresh block paving, tarmac, resin-bound surfaces and natural stone, using methods suited to each material.
