What is under the dirt on your driveway

A driveway darkens so slowly that most people forget the original colour. Under the black layer is algae, tyre rubber, oil and general road dirt. Cleaning strips all of that back to the block or the concrete underneath. The change is usually bigger than people expect.

Re-sanding block paving after the clean

Washing block paving pulls the sand out of the joints. If it is not replaced the blocks work loose, rock underfoot and let weeds straight back in. We brush fresh kiln dried sand into every joint once the surface is dry, which locks the paving and slows regrowth.

Oil stains and tyre marks

Oil and tyre marks need treating, not just blasting. We put a degreaser on the patch and let it work before the pressure washer goes near it. Old oil that has soaked deep into concrete may fade rather than vanish, and we will say so before we start.

About us

Driveways were the first thing we cleaned when J&R Jet Washing started 17 years ago and they are still the job we do most often around Larkfield. Block paving, imprinted concrete and tarmac all behave differently under a pressure washer, and 17 years of driveways teaches you exactly where the line is.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does driveway cleaning take in Larkfield?

Most domestic driveways take between three hours and a full day. Size is the main factor, then how much moss has taken hold in the joints. Re-sanding block paving adds a little time as the surface needs to dry first. We give a time estimate with the quote.

Will pressure washing damage my block paving?

Not when the pressure is set for the surface. Damage happens when someone runs a lance at full power across paving, which strips the joints and can pit the block face. We work at a level the paving can take and replace the sand afterwards.

Can you clean an imprinted concrete driveway?

Yes. Imprinted concrete has a sealed top layer, so it needs cleaning at lower pressure than block paving. Once it is clean and dry it usually wants resealing to bring back the colour and protect it. We can quote for both together.
