Our Patio and Driveway Cleaning Service is intended for removing grime, oil stains, mould and biological matter from patio concrete paving stones, asphalt or concrete driveways, wooden fences and deckings.
Paths and driveways around the house are usually concrete, paving stones. Every owner would like it to look like new for a long time. Unfortunately, even just after the road was laid, white spots may appear on the surface of the concrete. Over time the dust, sand, mud and other dirt become visible. If such soils are not systematically removed, it leads to the creation of sediments that not only change the colour of the surface but also facilitate the development of mosses and algae. The type of surface and stains determines which method of cleaning we should use.

It appears in damp and shady places, in hollows on surfaces with poorly made foundation. To effectively remove the green coating from the paving stone, we use low-pressure equipment. Then, to avoid a quick recurrence of the problem, we use an eco-friendly steam cleaning, which also kills spores of algae. High temperature does the work, so there is no need to use chemicals, that would soak in and cause soil contamination.
Oil and greasy sooty dirt, engine oil and lubricants stains cannot usually be washed off with high-pressure water jet. You can try to remove it using biodegradable special cleaning agents. The best effects, however, for the removal of greasy stains, are acquired with high-temperature steam cleaning. For this purpose, we use the DOFF system.
After each cleaning of the paving stones, the rinsed sand that fills the grout must be replenished. After thorough-out washing it may occur that some of the paving stones are cracked or have a damaged surface. In that case, these should be taken out and replaced with new ones.
