Services
Driveways, patios, walls and the paths in between.
Three closely related services for the outside of your home. Each one starts with a look at what the surface is made of, because that decides how it should be cleaned.
01
Driveway & patio cleaning
Concrete, pavers and exposed aggregate brought back from grey and green to their natural tone.
Surfaces it covers
Plain and coloured concrete, concrete and clay pavers, exposed aggregate, stamped concrete, and the patio or alfresco paving beside the house.
Why people ask for it
- Black lichen spots and green algae in the joints
- Slippery paving in shaded or damp corners
- Tyre marks, leaf tannins and general dullness
- Getting the house ready for an event, a sale or a new season outdoors
What you’ll notice
An even, lighter surface where you can see the colour and texture of the paving again, with clean joints and far less slip in the shady spots.
How we assess suitability
We look at what the surface is made of, how old it is, whether it has been sealed, and what the staining actually is. Organic growth usually lifts well. Oil, rust and some older marks may only fade, and we'll tell you that before we start.
02
Exterior house & façade washing
A low-pressure wash for render, brick, cladding, eaves and fascia that lifts mould shadows and salt film without forcing water where it shouldn't go.
Surfaces it covers
Rendered and painted walls, face brick, fibre-cement and timber-look cladding, eaves, fascia, and the walls around entries and patios.
Why people ask for it
- Dark mould shadows under eaves and on shaded walls
- Salt and dust film on coastal homes
- Cobwebs and grime around entries and windows
- Preparing to sell, or before repainting
What you’ll notice
Walls that look brighter and more even, with the paint, render or brick colour showing through again.
How we assess suitability
We check the condition of the paint and render first. Flaking paint, cracked render and old seals change the method, and sometimes mean washing isn't the right step yet. If that's the case, we'll say so.
03
Paths, steps & hard surfaces
Garden steps, entry paths, pool surrounds and retaining walls, cleaned with the method each material can take.
Surfaces it covers
Sandstone steps and walls, brick paths, stepping stones, concrete side paths, pool surrounds and low retaining walls.
Why people ask for it
- Moss and slime making steps slippery
- Black staining on sandstone
- Weathered pool surrounds
- Side paths and entries that have gone grey
What you’ll notice
Safer, cleaner steps and paths that make the walk to the door, or down the garden, feel cared for again.
How we assess suitability
Natural stone, especially sandstone, is softer than it looks. We test a small area first and use lower pressure and gentler treatment where the surface needs it, so the face isn't etched or furred.
A note on stains
Most organic growth, like lichen, algae, moss and mould, lifts well with the right method. Some marks are different. Oil, rust, efflorescence and old tannin staining sit deeper in the surface and may fade rather than disappear. We’ll tell you what’s realistic before any work begins, not after.
We don’t publish fixed prices because every property is different. The size of the area, the surface, access and the type of staining all change the job. Your quote is based on your property.

Describe what you’re seeing and we’ll point you in the right direction. Many people start with the driveway and add the path or the walls while we’re there.
