Looking for professional driveway cleaning? H2O Restoration provides expert driveway cleaning for homes across the UK, including moss and algae removal, oil stain treatment, and weed clearance between joints. Whether you have a block paving driveway, a tarmac drive, a resin-bound surface or a natural stone entrance, our specialist team uses steam cleaning and pressure washing that removes years of built-up dirt without damaging the surface.
If Any of This Sounds Like You, You're in the Right Place
Most people who book us tell us the same handful of stories. See if you recognise yours.
Black tyre marks, green algae creeping along the edges, dirt that's been there so long you've stopped noticing it. Then a neighbour mentions it, and suddenly you can't unsee it. A professional driveway clean transforms how your house looks from the kerb, usually in a single visit.
Estate agents know what kills offers: a tired driveway tells viewers the rest of the house is tired too. We turn around driveway cleaning quickly when you've got viewings booked. Cleaner drive, better photos, stronger offers.
You're not alone - DIY jet washing strips out jointing sand, erodes block edges, and you end up with a driveway that looks worse than before. Our adjustable steam cleaning is gentle enough for block paving while still lifting the muck. No damage. No regrets.
In wet climates moss and algae spread fast, and when they do, your driveway becomes genuinely dangerous, especially for elderly relatives. Our steam reaches 150°C, which kills moss and algae at the root so they don't bounce straight back like they do after a quick jet wash.

Driveway Cleaning Across the UK
Rain, frost and the UK's persistently damp climate create ideal conditions for moss, algae and lichen to take hold, making professional driveway cleaning essential for most UK homes. Over time, green growth, black stains and air pollution make driveways look dark, slick and neglected, and the longer you leave it untreated, the deeper it sinks into the surface. We assess every job individually before we begin, tailoring our approach to your specific surface type and condition, not a one-size-fits-all blast with a pressure washer. Using specialist steam cleaning and pressure washing equipment, our driveway cleaning service removes:
The green moss and slimy algae
Killed at the root by 150°C steam - not just blasted off the top to grow back in three weeks. Effective driveway moss removal and driveway algae removal that actually lasts.
Years of embedded dirt and grime
That grey-brown haze you can't scrub off? It's ingrained dirt. Heat and adjustable pressure lift it out without eroding your block paving or stone.
Oil patches and tyre marks
Where the car parks. Where you spilt the petrol can. Where the previous owner's car used to leak. Our steam shifts oil that cold-water pressure washing leaves behind.
Weeds growing through the joints
Most contractors snap the tops off. We kill the roots and the seeds in the jointing sand, so your driveway stays cleaner for longer between cleans.
Weather stains and salt marks
Rust runs from garden ornaments, salt deposits from gritted winter mornings, hard-water spots - all of it lifted in one clean.
And the rest of it
Chewing gum, dropped paint, fuel marks, BBQ grease, bird mess. If it's stuck to your driveway, we'll get it off.
See What Professional Driveway Cleaning Achieves
The difference between a tired, green driveway and one that lifts the whole front of your house usually comes down to one professional visit.
A block paving driveway in Sale, untouched for years. Algae across the surface, weeds through every joint, oil stains where the car parks. Visible from the road.
Same driveway, one visit later. Blocks restored to their original colour, joints cleared and ready for re-sanding. Took just under four hours, no chemicals, no damage to the paving.
Driveway Cleaning for Every Surface Type
We clean a wide range of driveway surfaces for homeowners nationwide, and our team has the specialist knowledge to treat each one correctly. No matter the size, material or condition of your driveway, we regularly provide driveway cleaning for:
01 Block Paving Cleaning
Professional block paving cleaning that restores faded blocks, clears the joints, kills weeds, and preps the surface for re-sanding and sealing if you want it.
02 Concrete Driveways
Lifts the grey ingrained haze, oil patches and tyre marks from textured or smooth concrete, without etching or pitting the surface.
04 Natural Stone
Gentle low-pressure steam - safe for Indian stone, limestone, sandstone, granite and other premium driveway surfaces that aggressive pressure washing damages.
05 Tarmac Driveways
Specialist tarmac driveway cleaning that removes grime and tyre marks without softening or breaking up the surface - a common DIY pressure washing mistake.
How We Deliver Our Driveway Cleaning Service
At H2O Restoration, our driveway cleaning process uses specialist steam and pressure washing systems, purpose-built for professional surface cleaning and operating at temperatures and pressures that a domestic machine cannot achieve. This is not simply a case of blasting the surface and hoping for the best. Our methods are chosen to suit your specific surface and its condition, delivering driveway cleaning as thoroughly as possible without causing damage.
OUR METHOD
H2O Driveway Cleaning
- A site assessment to identify surface types, contamination levels and areas requiring special care
- Pre-treatment of heavy oil staining, biological growth or black spot lichen
- Steam or pressure cleaning tailored to the surface, with settings adjusted to protect softer surfaces, jointing sand and sealant
- Targeted removal of persistent staining, tyre marks and fuel deposits
- Treatment of moss, algae and lichen to inhibit regrowth and restore safe grip
- Sealing recommendation where appropriate, to guard against future staining
- A final inspection before we leave to confirm results meet our standards
Jet Washing It Yourself
- No surface assessment, a one-size-fits-all approach risking permanent damage
- Domestic machines lack the temperature and pressure for a deep, lasting clean
- Wrong settings can strip jointing sand, scar tarmac or etch softer stone
- Oil stains and black spot lichen usually left behind untreated
- No regrowth treatment, so moss and algae return quickly
- No quality check, so results are patchy and may need redoing

Driveway Cleaning Questions, Answered
How often should I have my driveway professionally cleaned?
Most driveways benefit from professional driveway cleaning once or twice a year. Shaded, north-facing or high-traffic driveways may need more frequent attention to keep moss and algae under control.
Will driveway cleaning damage block paving or tarmac?
No, provided the correct technique is used for your surface. We adjust pressure settings and cleaning agents accordingly to protect the integrity of every surface we treat. Block paving may require re-sanding after cleaning to restore displaced jointing sand, and we’ll advise you on this before we begin.
Can you remove oil stains from my driveway?
Yes. Our process uses specialist degreasers and pre-treatment agents. Results vary depending on the age and depth of the staining, but professional driveway cleaning achieves significant improvement in most cases.
Do you offer driveway cleaning nationwide?
Yes. We have teams based across the country and regularly travel to homes nationwide. Contact us to confirm coverage for your location.
How much does driveway cleaning cost?
The cost of driveway cleaning depends on the size of your driveway, the surface type and its current condition, so we provide tailored quotes based on a free site assessment.
