Driveway & Concrete Cleaning

Concrete looks tough, but it's porous. Moss, algae and dirt get into the surface, turn it black and make it slippery in the wet. A good clean brings it back to the colour it was meant to be and makes paths safer underfoot.

What we clean

• driveways and parking pads
• paths, footpaths and steps
• patios and outdoor areas
• car parks and forecourts
• concrete block walls and foundations
• concrete outdoor furniture and benches

Timber decks and steps get a gentler wash along the grain, so the wood doesn't fur up.

How we clean a driveway

1. Look it over. We check how old the concrete is, where the stains are and anything that needs care.
2. Protect what's nearby. Plants, cars, walls and windows get covered or kept clear of the spray.
3. Pressure wash. We set the pressure for the surface and keep the wand moving so there are no stripes.
4. Stains. Oil, tyre marks and stubborn patches get extra work.
5. Rinse and check. The area is rinsed down and we walk it with you.

Newer concrete and exposed aggregate

Concrete under about three years old, and exposed aggregate, can be marked by too much pressure. We wash those more gently so the surface and the stones stay put.

Before you sell or paint

A clean driveway is one of the cheapest ways to make a house look cared for in listing photos. If you're getting the house ready for sale or the painters, look at water blasting in Auckland or Wellington, where we do the house, paths and drive together.

Areas

All of Auckland and the Wellington region, including Porirua and the Hutt. See pressure washing in Auckland or pressure washing in Wellington for more on hard-surface cleaning in your city.
