If your driveway is looking tired after wet weather and traffic, our team can bring it back to life with a thorough clean. We regularly work around Purley Cross and along routes leading to Purley Way, so we’re used to typical access and parking arrangements. From algae-darkened block paving to slippery concrete, we remove grime without needless mess. Expect a noticeable difference in colour, grip and overall presentation.
Purley’s leafy streets and gardens mean driveways often collect leaf tannins, moss and green algae, especially in shaded spots. We clean surfaces outside large detached houses, 1930s properties and period homes across Purley Oaks, Kenley and nearby roads. Block paving, tarmac and resin-bound finishes each need a different approach to avoid damage. Our experience with local property styles helps us choose the right pressure, detergents and finishing steps.
We start with an inspection, then apply targeted moss removal and weed treatment before pressure washing. Oil stain removal is handled with specialist degreasers, and block paving can be re-sanded once fully dry to stabilise joints. If you choose sealing, we’ll advise on the right product and curing time for your surface and usage. Homeowners trust us for tidy working, clear communication and results that last.
In the London Borough of Croydon, shaded drives and North Downs runoff can encourage moss and algae, particularly after long wet spells. Around CR8, we often see block paving that benefits from careful pressure control and proper re-sanding. We plan around on-street parking and school-run traffic, and we use tidy water management to keep paths and drains clear. For sloped plots near Riddlesdown, we adapt the method to prevent wash-off and streaking.

Most driveway cleaning in the Purley area is priced at £3–£8 per square metre, depending on the surface and how ingrained the staining is. Typical total costs are often £150–£400 for an average domestic drive. Extras such as oil stain removal, re-sanding for block paving, or sealing can increase the price. After a quick site check, we’ll confirm what’s needed and provide a clear, itemised quote.
Most jobs take around half a day, which suits many households who need parking back quickly. Timing depends on driveway size, the level of moss or weeds, and whether you want re-sanding or sealing. Oil stain treatment can add time because products need to dwell before rinsing. Weather also matters: re-sanding and sealing require a dry surface, so we may schedule finishing steps for the best results.
Driveway cleaning is usually classed as maintenance, so planning permission is not normally required. That said, we still work responsibly: we avoid allowing contaminated run-off to enter surface water drains and we’ll discuss any site-specific concerns before starting. If your property has special restrictions (for example, within a conservation area or with shared access), we’ll take extra care and advise on best practice. We can also schedule work to minimise disruption to neighbours.
Yes. We stand by our workmanship and offer a 10-year warranty on sealing where specified and installed as part of the service, covering product application and adhesion when maintained as advised. Cleaning results can vary with weather, shade and ongoing leaf fall, but we’ll set realistic expectations and use proven methods for lasting improvement. If any issues arise with the sealed finish due to our application, we’ll return to inspect and put it right.
After cleaning, we can tailor the finish to your driveway type. For block paving, kiln-dried re-sanding is popular to stabilise joints and reduce weed growth. For many surfaces, sealing is an option in matt or satin finishes to help slow re-soiling and enhance colour. We’ll advise what suits your driveway’s material, drainage and usage, and we’ll explain curing times so you can plan parking and access.
