A grubby driveway can make an otherwise well-kept home look tired, especially after a wet winter. Our team cleans driveways across Sidcup, including near Sidcup High Street and around Foots Cray. Using controlled pressure washing, we lift ingrained dirt, algae and tyre marks without unnecessary mess. We also treat weeds and moss so the surface stays cleaner for longer.
Sidcup is a well-established suburb with plenty of 1930s semis, Victorian houses and newer developments, and each driveway surface needs a slightly different approach. Block paving often benefits from re-sanding after washing, while resin-bound and tarmac need gentler settings to avoid damage. We regularly work across DA14 and DA15, where front drive access and parking arrangements can vary street by street. Our method is tailored to your surface, not a one-size-fits-all blast.
We start with an inspection, then pre-treat problem areas such as mossy joints and oil stains before washing. Once dry, we can re-sand block paving and apply a suitable sealant to help resist staining and weed growth. We protect borders, manage run-off carefully, and leave paths and thresholds tidy. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clear communication, and results that look professionally finished.
Driveways in the London Borough of Bexley often face shade, leaf litter and damp conditions from nearby green spaces such as Foots Cray Meadows. That can encourage algae and moss, particularly on north-facing blocks and older concrete. We adjust pressure and detergents to suit the surface and manage water run-off responsibly. Access and parking can be tight on some residential roads, so we plan equipment placement to keep things safe and efficient.

Most driveway cleaning in Sidcup is priced by area, typically £3–£8 per square metre depending on the surface and how soiled it is. Many homeowners pay around £150–£400 for a standard-sized driveway. Extras such as oil stain removal, weed treatment, re-sanding block paving, or sealing can affect the overall figure. We’ll assess the condition and provide a clear, itemised estimate before starting.
In most cases, driveway cleaning takes around half a day. Timing depends on the driveway size, the type of material (block paving, concrete, tarmac or resin), and how much moss or staining needs pre-treatment. If re-sanding is required, we’ll allow time for the surface to dry before sweeping kiln-dried sand into the joints. Sealing can add extra drying time and may be scheduled for suitable weather.
Driveway cleaning is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Bexley. The main considerations are practical: managing water run-off, avoiding contamination of surface drains, and working safely on the public pavement edge if applicable. If your property has specific restrictions (for example, a listed building or special conditions on a newer development), we’ll flag anything relevant and adapt the method accordingly.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on applicable treatments, such as sealing and re-sanding performance when installed to specification and maintained sensibly. Cleaning results can vary depending on existing staining and surface wear, but we’ll set expectations clearly before we start. The warranty covers defects in application rather than new staining caused by spills, heavy traffic, or lack of routine care.
After cleaning, we can tailor the finish to your driveway’s material and the look you want. For block paving, re-sanding with kiln-dried sand is common, and sealing can be matt or satin depending on the product. For concrete, we can advise on stain removal and protective sealers to reduce future marking. If you’re considering upgrades, we can also discuss options such as new block paving patterns, resin-bound surfacing, or refreshed edging to sharpen the overall appearance.
