If your paving is darkened by algae or slippery after rain, our driveway cleaning Sydenham area service brings it back to life. We work across SE26, including Lower Sydenham and Bell Green, with careful pressure washing that lifts grime without scarring the surface. Many clients near Sydenham Wells Park ask us to tackle moss build-up in shaded spots. The result is a brighter driveway and improved traction underfoot.
Sydenham’s leafy streets and mature trees can mean more organic debris on paving, especially around Victorian villas and Edwardian houses. Period conversions often have smaller forecourts where neat edges and tidy joints make a big difference. We tailor the clean to your surface type—block paving, resin-bound, concrete or natural stone—so it looks right for the property. For homes close to Dulwich Wood, we also plan around heavier leaf fall and damp conditions.
Our process starts with a site check, then targeted weed treatment and moss removal before pressure washing. We use specialist products for oil stain removal and finish with re-sanding for block paving, with sealing available where appropriate. Fine Landscaping is based in Norbury, just 20 minutes away, so scheduling and follow-ups are straightforward. You’ll get clear aftercare advice to keep the driveway looking sharp for longer.
Sydenham’s shaded drives and tree cover can encourage moss and algae, particularly on north-facing paving. We plan water use and run-off sensibly and work with access constraints common on SE26 streets, including limited parking and narrow frontages. For older properties, we choose methods that avoid loosening joints or etching worn concrete. If sealing is requested, we advise on drying times and weather windows typical for the area.

Most driveway cleaning in Sydenham is priced by size and surface condition, typically £3–£8 per square metre. As a guide, many homeowners spend around £150–£400 for a standard driveway clean. Heavily mossy paving, deep oil stains, or extras such as weed treatment, re-sanding or sealing can increase the overall cost. We’ll confirm the best approach after a quick assessment.
Most driveway cleaning jobs take around half a day, which suits typical front drives in SE26. Timing depends on the area in square metres, the amount of moss and algae, and whether you want oil stain removal, re-sanding or sealing. If we apply treatments that need dwell time or if the surface needs to dry before sealing, the visit may run longer or require a return.
Driveway cleaning is usually permitted and doesn’t require planning permission in the London Borough of Lewisham. However, there can be practical considerations such as managing run-off, protecting nearby drains, and working considerately on the pavement if access is tight. If your property is listed or within a conservation area, we’ll advise on any extra precautions. We always work to good practice and local requirements.

We clean and refresh most driveway materials, including block paving, concrete, natural stone and resin-bound surfaces. After cleaning, popular options include kiln-dried re-sanding for block paving, targeted weed treatment, and sealing in either a matt or satin finish (surface dependent). If oil staining is a concern, we can use specialist stain removers before sealing. We’ll recommend the safest option for your paving and desired look.
