Lewisham’s busy streets and tree-lined pockets can leave driveways looking tired, especially after wet spells. From SE13 homes near Lewisham station to properties around Mountsfield Park, we remove slippery algae, ingrained dirt and traffic film. Our pressure washing is adjusted to your surface, so it cleans deeply without unnecessary damage. The result is a brighter driveway that looks cared for and feels safer underfoot.
The driveway cleaning Lewisham area often involves a mix of older and newer surfaces. Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses commonly have block paving, concrete bays or shared access routes that need careful water control. Modern developments in and around Ladywell and Hither Green may use resin-bound or patterned paving that benefits from lower-pressure, specialist nozzles. We tailor the method to the material, age and condition of each driveway so it cleans evenly and lasts longer.
We start with a pre-inspection, then apply targeted moss removal and weed treatment before pressure washing. Oil stain removal is handled with appropriate degreasers, followed by re-sanding for block paving where needed to stabilise joints. If you choose sealing, we only apply it once the surface is properly dry for a consistent finish. Homeowners trust us for clear communication, neat working practices and results that stand up to London weather.
In the London Borough of Lewisham, shaded driveways near parks and rivers can encourage moss and algae, particularly after long wet periods. Access can be tight on residential roads around Blackheath and Lee, so we plan hose runs, equipment placement and water control to keep paths clear. We also work with typical London parking constraints by agreeing arrival times and keeping the frontage tidy. Our approach suits everything from older paving to modern finishes.

Most driveway cleaning in Lewisham is priced by area and surface condition, typically £3–£8 per square metre. As a guide, many homeowners spend around £150–£400 for a standard driveway, with extras for heavy oil staining, extensive weed growth, or re-sanding and sealing. Block paving often benefits from re-sanding after washing, which can affect the overall cost. We’ll confirm the best approach after a quick assessment.
Most jobs take around half a day, but the exact time depends on driveway size, the level of moss or algae, and whether you want re-sanding or sealing. Heavy staining can require dwell time for treatments before rinsing. If sealing is included, drying conditions matter; we’ll advise on timing to avoid rain and ensure a consistent finish. Access, parked cars and shared driveways can also influence the schedule.
Driveway cleaning is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s maintenance rather than construction. That said, we work responsibly with water run-off and use appropriate products, especially near drains. If your property has specific restrictions (for example, conservation considerations or shared access arrangements), we’ll flag anything relevant before starting. We can also advise on best practice for keeping run-off controlled and the area safe for pedestrians.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on applicable finishing work, such as sealing systems we supply and apply, subject to correct aftercare and normal wear. Cleaning results can vary depending on the surface type and the depth of historic staining, but we always set expectations clearly before starting. If any issues arise linked to our application or preparation, we’ll return to inspect and put it right where covered.
After cleaning, we can re-sand block paving with kiln-dried sand to stabilise joints and improve the look. For added protection, sealing options include matt or satin finishes (depending on the surface) to help resist staining and slow weed regrowth. We also advise on ongoing maintenance products and frequency based on whether you have block paving, concrete, resin-bound or natural stone. We’ll recommend what suits your driveway’s condition and usage.
