Cleaning, Re-Sanding and Optional Driveway Treatments
There’s no need to add every available treatment just to have your driveway cleaned. We’ll explain what the paving needs, what’s included and what would be extra. That leaves you free to choose a straightforward clean or discuss further protection, with a clear idea of the finished result.
Cleaning Block Paving, Concrete and Resin Driveways
Driveway cleaning removes ground-in dirt, moss and other build-up from the surface you drive and park on. When sweeping no longer makes much difference, a deeper clean can reveal the paving beneath. The way the driveway is laid matters too.
Sand-jointed block paving needs its joints looked after, while concrete and resin surfaces have different cleaning requirements. Resin-bound and resin-bonded finishes also need identifying properly, rather than assuming one approach suits both.
Stains need an honest assessment before work begins. Oil and organic growth aren’t the same problem, and some older marks may still show after cleaning. We’ll explain the improvement you can expect rather than promise to erase every patch. Re-sanding is included for suitable sand-jointed block paving. Weed-control and fungicidal treatments are optional, while re-sealing is available at extra cost where suitable. You can choose the finishing work that makes sense for your driveway.
Why Paving Needs to Dry Before Re-Sanding
Fresh jointing sand needs dry paving, otherwise it sticks to the blocks instead of settling into the gaps. That’s why re-sanding sometimes needs to happen separately from washing.
We don’t rush that step just to finish everything in one visit. The weather determines when the blocks are ready and the kiln-dried sand can go where it’s needed.
Keeping Resin-Bound Driveways Draining Freely
The small gaps between the stones in resin-bound paving allow rainwater to pass through. Dirt and fine debris can collect in those spaces, so keeping them clear matters for drainage as well as appearance.
It’s different from maintaining sand joints between blocks, and from looking after resin-bonded surfacing. Identifying the finish properly avoids confusing one system with another.
Smartseal Registered for Driveways
We’re Smartseal registered for driveways and patios, with over 25 years in the trade. You should feel comfortable with what’s being done to your paving, so we explain the proposed method in plain language.
That gives you something practical to judge the quote on, beyond the price alone.
Finished Properly, Without the Mess
For sand-jointed block paving, suitable re-sanding is part of the job, not an afterthought. We clear away the mess created by the clean too.
Public liability insurance and a 12-month workmanship warranty are in place, giving you reassurance about the work as well as how the driveway looks afterwards.
Fair Quotes and Neighbour Discounts
If your neighbour books a clean at the same time, both households can receive a referral discount.
It’s a practical way to save when the driveways beside each other need attention. We also match official like-for-like quotes, with clear advice and no pressure to add treatments you don’t need.

Confirm when payment is expected and whether a deposit is required before the driveway cleaning takes place. Ask for any staged payments, deposits or additional charges to be explained clearly.
Understanding the payment arrangements alongside the scope of work allows you to compare providers using more than the headline price alone.
