Driveways around CR2 take a battering from leaf litter, algae and daily traffic, leaving surfaces slippery and dull. Our team cleans block paving, resin and concrete to a high standard, using controlled pressure washing and targeted treatments. If you’re near Sanderstead Recreation Ground or All Saints Church, we can usually reach you quickly and work efficiently. The result is a brighter driveway that looks cared for and feels safer underfoot.
Sanderstead is known for large detached houses, executive homes and well-kept period properties, and the driveway often sets the tone for the whole frontage. Many local drives are block paved with kiln-dried sand joints, while others are resin-bound or patterned concrete. We tailor the approach to the surface and its age, avoiding over-aggressive cleaning that can disturb joints or etch finishes. Homeowners across Purley, Selsdon and Hamsey Green rely on us for tidy, respectful service.
Our process starts with an inspection, then pre-treatment for moss removal and weed treatment where needed. We pressure wash with the right nozzle and flow rate, tackle oil stain removal with specialist solutions, and rinse thoroughly to prevent residue. For block paving, we re-sand once dry and can apply sealing to help slow regrowth and staining. You get clear before/after expectations, careful edging protection, and a finish that holds up.
In the driveway cleaning Sanderstead area, shaded front gardens and nearby woodland can encourage algae and moss, especially on north-facing drives. We adjust dwell times and rinsing to suit local conditions and avoid splash onto brickwork and planting. Access and parking can vary on residential roads, so we plan equipment placement to keep disruption low. For driveway cleaning in London Borough of Croydon, we also work with responsible wastewater handling and site cleanliness.

Most driveway cleaning in Sanderstead is priced by area and condition, typically £3–£8 per square metre. Smaller, lightly soiled drives may sit at the lower end, while heavy moss, deep oil staining, or detailed edging can increase the rate. As a guide, many CR2 homeowners spend around £150–£400 for a thorough clean, with re-sanding and sealing priced according to materials and coverage.
In many cases the work takes around half a day, depending on driveway size, surface type and how much moss or staining is present. Block paving can take longer if we’re also re-sanding, as joints need to dry before fresh sand is brushed in. Cooler, damp weather and heavy shade can extend drying times. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after a quick assessment.
Driveway cleaning is usually classed as routine maintenance, so planning permission is not normally required. The main considerations are practical: managing runoff responsibly, keeping public pavements clear, and avoiding nuisance to neighbours. If your property has specific restrictions (for example, a listed building setting or special conditions in a lease), we can help you check. We work neatly and aim to stay compliant with local expectations.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on applicable treatments we install, such as sealing, covering issues like premature peeling or failure due to incorrect application. Cleaning results naturally depend on future use and weather, so we can’t guarantee a driveway will never get dirty again, but we do guarantee we’ll carry out the agreed process correctly and rectify any proven application faults promptly.
After cleaning, we can re-sand block paving with kiln-dried sand to stabilise joints and sharpen the look. Sealing options include matt or satin finishes, chosen to suit block paving, concrete or certain resin systems, helping reduce staining and weed growth. If oil marks are a concern, we’ll recommend targeted stain treatments and protective sealers where appropriate. We’ll advise based on your surface, drainage and how you use the driveway.
