If Any of This Sounds Like You, You're in the Right Place
Most homeowners who contact us about driveway restoration are dealing with one of the same handful of problems. See if yours is here.
Moss, algae, and lichen thrive in damp joints and shaded areas, and as well as looking tired, a green driveway or patio becomes a genuine slip hazard in wet weather.
Domestic pressure washers rinse away surface level dirt but rarely solve the problem for good, deep set growth and staining usually return within weeks.
A one size fits all blast risks stripping sealant, dislodging jointing sand, or scarring resin and softer stone, which is why every surface needs assessing individually first.
First impressions count, and a clean, restored driveway and patio can transform how your home looks from the kerb ahead of viewings or the warmer months.

Driveway & Patio Restoration Across the UK
Driveways and patios take more punishment than almost any other surface around your home. Daily vehicle use, oil leaks, weeds, standing water, frost damage, and year round exposure to the elements all leave their mark over time. Moss, algae, and lichen take hold in damp joints and shaded areas, while grime and atmospheric pollution grind deep into the surface. The longer driveway restoration is left, the more ingrained the damage becomes. Our unique steam cleaning equipment is designed to tackle every type of contamination with the right approach for each surface. We assess every driveway and patio before we begin, selecting the appropriate restoration method to avoid damage and achieve the best possible result. Using specialist treatments, steam cleaning systems, and pressure washing equipment, our driveway restoration services cover:
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 Restoration Achieves
The difference between a tired, stained driveway and a properly restored one 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.

How We Deliver Our Driveway Restoration Services
At H2O Restoration, our driveway restoration services use specialist steam cleaning systems and high pressure washing equipment, purpose built for exterior surfaces. These operate at temperatures and pressures a standard domestic pressure washer cannot reach, breaking down deep set oil, grime, and biological growth at the root rather than simply rinsing the surface. This is not simply a case of blasting the surface and hoping for the best. Our methods are chosen to suit the specific surface and type of contamination involved, delivering driveway restoration as cleanly as possible without causing damage.
OUR METHOD
H2O Driveway & Patio Restoration
- A full site assessment to identify the surface type, condition, and any areas requiring special care before selecting the right restoration method
- Pre-treatment of heavy oil staining, biological growth, and deep set marks with appropriate cleaning agents
- Steam cleaning or pressure washing at the correct temperature and pressure for the surface, protecting resin, sealant, and softer stone
- Targeted treatment of tyre marks, black spot lichen, and persistent staining where required
- Treatment of moss, algae, and lichen to inhibit regrowth and restore safe surface grip
- A final inspection to confirm the surface has been restored to a satisfactory condition
Tackling It Yourself with a Domestic Pressure Washer
- No surface assessment, a one-size-fits-all approach risking permanent damage
- Domestic machines rinse surface level dirt but leave deep set oil and growth behind
- The wrong pressure can strip sealant, dislodge jointing sand, or scar resin and softer stone
- Black spot lichen and ghost staining often left behind untreated
- No regrowth treatment, so moss and algae quickly return
- No quality check, so results are inconsistent and may need redoing

Driveway Cleaning Questions, Answered
How often should I have my driveway professionally restored?
Most driveways benefit from a professional driveway restoration clean once or twice a year, while shaded or damp areas where moss and algae build up quickly may need more frequent attention.
Will driveway restoration damage my surface?
No. We assess every driveway and patio before beginning work and adjust our pressure settings and cleaning agents to suit the surface, so block paving, tarmac, resin bound, imprinted concrete, and natural stone can all be restored without damage.
Can you remove black spots from block paving?
Yes. Black spots are caused by a lichen that embeds its roots into the surface, and standard pressure washing alone is rarely enough to remove them. Our steam cleaning process, combined with targeted pre-treatment, removes black spot lichen from most driveway and patio surfaces.
Do H2O Restoration provide driveway restoration nationwide?
Yes, H2O Restoration provides driveway restoration services across the UK with teams based in the Midlands, Kent, and Manchester.
Can you seal my driveway after restoration?
Yes, get in touch to discuss sealing options for your surface type. Applying a sealant after driveway restoration can extend the life of your surface and help protect against future oil staining, moss growth, and weathering.
How much does driveway restoration from H2O Restoration cost?
The cost of driveway restoration depends on the size, surface type, and current condition of your driveway or patio, so we provide tailored quotes based on a free site assessment.
