Driveway Cleaning Newbridge
Driveway cleaning is a deep wash that removes green algae, black staining and ingrained dirt, bringing your drive in Newbridge back towards the colour it had when it was laid.
Irish weather is hard on driveways. Constant damp and shaded corners that never fully dry let algae and moss settle into the surface and the joints. The result is a tired-looking drive that turns slippery in winter.
We clean the whole surface with a rotary flat-surface cleaner rather than a hand lance. That gives an even finish without the streaks and missed patches a lance can leave behind.
What our driveway cleaning includes
- A thorough wash with a rotary cleaner for a consistent, streak-free finish
- Removal of green algae, black spot staining, moss and ingrained dirt
- Weeds and growth cleared from joints, edges and kerb lines
- Washings rinsed away so drains and gullies stay clear
- Protection for plants, doors and airbricks while we work
Tarmac and concrete
Surface type matters. Tarmac is easily damaged, because too much pressure in one spot can lift the bitumen binder and expose the loose stones beneath. On tarmac we use a wider sweep and a suitable detergent.
Concrete, imprinted concrete and cobble-lock can take a firmer rotary clean. We can also treat oil, diesel and tyre marks where possible, and clear weeds from cracks and expansion joints.
A clean drive improves the look of the whole property, and it is a practical alternative to replacing a surface that is only hidden under dirt.
Why cleaning matters
A green or black drive is not only unsightly. Algae makes the surface slippery underfoot and under tyres, particularly on slopes and in shade, so cleaning is a safety job as much as a cosmetic one.
After cleaning, a biocide treatment slows regrowth, and sealing helps protect blocks and joints. We will talk you through which options suit your drive.
Cleaning is often followed by other work. Have a look at our block paving cleaning and re-sanding, our moss, algae and weed treatment, and our tarmac sealing. If the surface has dipped, see driveway repairs.
