Initial Inspection: At ECS, we provide professional driveway and patio restoration for a wide range of outdoor surfaces. Before starting, we inspect the area for damaged paving, loose slabs, failed pointing, drainage problems, oil stains, black spot, lichen, weeds and other areas that may need extra care. This helps us select the safest and most effective cleaning method for your property.

Choose Your Service: Different surfaces need different treatments. Depending on the condition and material, we may use pressure washing, steam cleaning, specialist chemical cleaning, softwashing or manual removal. We work with block paving, concrete, natural stone, porcelain, paving slabs, tarmac and other exterior surfaces.

Pressure Washing: Pressure washing is one of the most effective ways to remove built-up dirt, algae, weeds, moss and grime from driveways and patios. Our professional van-mounted equipment has adjustable pressure settings, allowing us to clean the surface thoroughly without using unnecessary pressure. It can quickly restore the original colour and improve the overall appearance of your outside space.

Steam Cleaning: Steam cleaning combines high temperatures with lower pressure. This makes it a good option for delicate or porous surfaces that may not be suitable for standard pressure washing. The heat helps break down dirt, algae, organic growth and stubborn staining while reducing the risk of damage to the surface.

Specialist Chemical Treatment: Some stains and organic growth cannot be removed by water pressure alone. Black spot, lichen, algae and deeply rooted contamination may need a professional chemical treatment. We use trusted products that are approved by our insurance and suitable for the surfaces being treated. These treatments help remove stubborn marks and slow down future regrowth.

Weed and Moss Removal: Weeds and grass growing through block paving can quickly make a driveway look untidy. Pulling them out by hand is hard work and often leaves the roots behind. Professional pressure washing removes weeds, moss and built-up debris from the joints, giving the paving a much cleaner finish.

Block Paving Re-Sanding: Pressure washing removes old sand from between block paving. Once the surface is fully dry, we can replace it with fresh kiln-dried sand. This fills the joints, helps support the blocks and gives the driveway a neat, finished appearance.

Patio Joint Cleaning: Dirt, moss and weeds often collect between patio slabs. We clean the joints carefully and can discuss repointing options where the existing jointing has failed or washed away. Loose or damaged pointing may need repair before or after cleaning.

Sealing: Once your driveway or patio has been cleaned and fully dried, we can apply a suitable sealer where requested. Sealing can help protect the surface from staining, reduce water absorption, slow weed growth and make future maintenance easier. We will advise if sealing is suitable for your paving type.

Property Protection: Before cleaning begins, we move or cover nearby items where needed and take care around doors, walls, plants, vehicles and surrounding surfaces. We also rinse down affected areas and leave your property tidy when the work is complete.
