A driveway is one of the first things people notice about your home, yet it's one of the most neglected surfaces when it comes to cleaning. Rain, algae, moss and general traffic build up gradually, so the change is easy to miss until the difference after a wash is dramatic.
The short answer
For most properties across Liverpool, Wirral and Sefton, a professional jet wash once every 12 to 18 months keeps a driveway looking its best. North-facing driveways and those under trees green up faster and often benefit from an annual clean.
What speeds up the grime
Shade and damp are the biggest culprits. Surfaces that don't get much sun hold moisture, and moisture is exactly what algae and moss need to take hold. Overhanging trees, nearby hedges and poor drainage all accelerate the process.
Signs it's time for a clean
Green or black patches, slippery areas after rain, weeds pushing through the joints, and a general dull, grey tone are all signs your driveway is ready. If you can draw a clean line with your finger, it's overdue.
Protecting the results
After a professional clean, re-sanding block paving joints and applying a quality sealant can extend the fresh look and make future cleans easier. We're happy to advise on the right approach for your surface.
