Driveway & Patio Cleaning in Greater Manchester

Specialist driveway and patio cleaning for block paving, tarmac, sandstone, Indian stone and concrete. Post-clean biocidal treatment included as standard.


CLEAN CRIBS LTD · Exterior Cleaning

A properly cleaned driveway doesn't just look better — it actually lasts longer. Algae and moss trap moisture against the surface, accelerating the breakdown of block paving joints and pointing. Left long enough, what starts as a cosmetic problem becomes a structural one. We clean the surface and treat the cause.

Every driveway and patio job includes pressure washing at the correct PSI for the specific surface type, followed by a biocidal post-treatment to kill algae at root level. The difference between a clean driveway and one that stays clean for the next two years.


How it works

Simple from the start.


01

Surface assessment

We identify the paving type, staining cause and any areas requiring care — loose pointing, cracked slabs, fragile edges — before any work begins.

02

Chemical pre-soak

Biodegradable pre-treatment applied and given time to work before pressure washing begins. Loosens heavy staining and kills organic growth.

03

Pressure wash

Surface cleaned at the correct pressure for the material. Too much pressure on block paving blasts out the jointing — we know the difference.

04

Post-clean treatment

Biocidal solution applied after the wash slows the return of algae, moss and weed growth. Clean for longer, not just clean for now.


Why it matters

What you actually get.


Right pressure for the surface

Block paving, tarmac, Indian stone, sandstone and concrete all require different pressure levels. We match the machine to the material — every job.

Post-clean biocidal treatment

Applied after the wash, the biocide kills remaining spores and slows regrowth significantly. Standard pressure washing without treatment is only half a job.

Kerb appeal restored

Years of algae, moss and staining lifted in a single visit. The difference to the front of a property is immediate and dramatic.
