Over time, driveways are subjected to harsh weather, vehicle traffic, and organic growth, leaving them looking tired, discoloured, and potentially slippery. Professional driveway cleaning isn't just about aesthetics; it's essential maintenance that preserves the integrity of the surface.
At WetJet Exterior Cleaning, we employ surface-appropriate pressure washing and specialist treatments to effectively clean block paving, concrete, tarmac, and natural stone. We remove deeply ingrained dirt and biological contaminants, instantly elevating your home's exterior.
Surfaces We Treat & Contaminants We Remove
Different materials require different approaches. We tailor our cleaning methods to ensure maximum results without damaging your driveway.
Block Paving
We thoroughly wash block paving to extract dirt, moss, and weeds from the joints and the porous surface of the blocks, fully preparing it for necessary post-clean re-sanding.
Tarmac & Concrete
Using precision pressure washing, we lift ingrained dirt and alleviate the dulling effect of weather. We are careful to use appropriate pressure on tarmac to avoid degrading the surface bind.
Natural Stone
Natural stone requires a delicate touch. We utilise appropriate pressure and targeted softwash treatments to clean porous stone without causing surface damage or removing pointing.
Moss, Algae & Weeds
Organic growth not only looks unsightly but creates dangerous slip hazards. Our high-pressure surface cleaners easily slice through thick moss, surface algae, and root-deep weeds.
Black Spot & Lichen
Stubborn black spots (lichen) anchor themselves deeply into stone and paving. Pressure washing alone won't kill them; we use targeted biocide softwash treatments to completely eradicate these spores.
Oil & Tyre Marks
Unsightly vehicle staining can ruin the look of a driveway. While challenging, we utilise specialist degreasers and oil-stain treatments where appropriate to draw out and break down stubborn petrochemical marks.

Our Cleaning Process
Assessment & Access Setup
We begin by surveying your driveway to identify the surface material, specific contaminants, and any delicate areas (like loose pointing or adjoining lawns). We discuss access considerations, ensuring water and drainage routes are managed effectively before work begins.
Surface Preparation
Before applying water, we manually remove heavy debris and excessively thick weed growth. If necessary, we apply specialist pre-treatments for severe oil staining or heavy grease to allow the chemicals time to break down the compounds.
Rotary Pressure Washing
Using professional-grade, flat-surface rotary cleaners, we deeply wash the driveway. This equipment ensures an even, streak-free clean and contains the spray, minimising mess to surrounding walls, windows, and plants. Edges and corners are then detailed with a precision lance.
Targeted Post-Treatments
If stubborn biological growths like black spot or lichen remain, we apply a targeted softwash biocide treatment. This specifically attacks the root systems of the spores, drawing them out of the stone and significantly delaying future regrowth.
Finishing Touches: Re-sanding & Sealing
Kiln-Dried Re-Sanding
When cleaning block paving, the high-pressure water inevitably displaces the old, contaminated sand from the joints. Once the surface is completely dry, it is crucial to brush in fresh kiln-dried sand. This restores the structural friction between the blocks, preventing movement, sinking, and making it harder for new weeds to take root.
Optional Surface Sealing
To prolong the lifespan of your clean driveway, sealing is highly recommended where appropriate. Quality sealants enhance the natural colour of the stone or paving, harden the jointing sand, and create a protective barrier against future oil spills, dirt, and UV fading.
