A clean driveway changes how your whole frontage looks, especially on busy routes around Forest Hill station. Our team removes slippery algae, moss and ingrained dirt from block paving, concrete and tarmac, leaving a brighter, more even finish. We’re regularly working across SE23, including streets near the Horniman Museum. If oil spots or weeds are spoiling the look, we tackle those too.
Forest Hill’s Victorian and Edwardian houses and period conversions often come with older paving that needs a careful approach. We adjust pressure and detergents to suit worn blocks, delicate edges and settled joints, so the surface is cleaned without unnecessary damage. Many driveways in nearby Sydenham and Honor Oak also suffer from shaded sections where moss returns quickly. Our treatments are chosen to suit these conditions and help keep the surface looking tidy for longer.
We start with a site check, protect borders, then carry out pressure washing, moss removal and targeted weed treatment. Oil stain removal is handled with specialist products, followed by re-sanding for block paving and optional sealing to lock in the finish. We work cleanly, control runoff, and leave access safe at the end of the visit. Homeowners choose us for reliable results, clear pricing, and a workmanship-backed 10-year warranty.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, shaded gardens and tree cover can encourage moss and green growth on paving. Parking and access can be tight on residential roads, so we plan equipment placement and water use to minimise disruption. We also tailor our method for older brick edging and settled block paving common around SE23. If sealing is requested, we schedule around weather and drying times to avoid patchy results.
