Our Driveway Cleaning Methods
Three cleaning methods, high pressure washing and low pressure cleaning, matched to your surface and its condition. We confirm the driveway cleaning method at quote stage and again on site before work starts.
Standard clean, Cold water
Our entry-level service uses cold water at high pressure to remove surface-level dirt, grime, moss and general build-up. Fast, effective and affordable. Ideal for driveways that are regularly maintained without heavy staining or oil contamination. Best suited for block paving, paving slabs, concrete and resin-bound driveways with light to moderate soiling.
From £3/m²
Deep clean, Hot water
Unlock a deeper level of clean for your driveway with our Hot Water Power Washing service. Hot water has the power to break down and remove what regular jet washing can leave behind such as tyre marks. This method is ideal for homeowners who demand a higher standard of cleanliness, offering a driveway that looks freshly paved and meticulously maintained.
From £4/m²
Extreme clean, Steam
Steam cleaning works at temperatures of up to 150°C, lifting moss, algae and stubborn stains by heat rather than by force. The low pressure makes it the safer choice on delicate driveway surfaces - natural stone, imprinted concrete and decorative borders - where a high-pressure lance risks damage. Reduces and often eliminates the need to use harsh chemicals.
From £5/m²

Driveway surfaces we clean
-
Block paving. Weed growth in joints, moss between pavers, oil stains from vehicles. Block paved driveway cleaning is followed by joint re-sanding on most jobs.
-
Natural stone surfaces. Sandstone, limestone and granite differ in porosity. Cleaning pressure is matched to the stone to protect colour and surface integrity.
-
Resin bound. Cleaning pressure is calibrated to avoid displacing aggregate. Condition is assessed before cleaning starts.
-
Tarmac. Porous, and quick to hold moss, algae and oil staining. Tarmac driveway cleaning gives the most dramatic restoration results we achieve.
-
Imprinted concrete. Pattern relief traps dirt and growth. Cleaning restores the original colour and definition.
-
Concrete, slabs and crazy paving. Age, porosity and condition vary widely, from light soiling to years of embedded staining.
-
Patios, paths, steps and edging. Most quotes cover driveway and patio cleaning on the same visit.
Our Driveway Cleaning Equipment
Van-mounted pressure washers with variable PSI control and measured GPM flow rate, running cold water, hot water and steam cleaning from one unit.
A rotary surface cleaner, an enclosed rotating head that holds the nozzles a fixed distance from the surface for an even finish.
That fixed distance is what separates professional driveway cleaning from DIY pressure washing, where a hand-held lance varies pressure with every movement and leaves striping.
Driveway cleaning costs in Kent

from £3/m²

These driveway cleaning rates also cover patio cleaning. A minimum charge applies to every driveway clean: £200 for a standard cold water clean, £250 for a hot water deep clean and £300 for a steam clean. Small driveways cost the same to travel to and set up as large ones, which is what the minimum covers.
What changes your cleaning cost
-
Size. Larger driveways take longer, and cleaning equipment is fuel-powered, so running costs scale.
-
Surface type. Different materials need different cleaning pressures, techniques and products.
-
Level of soiling. Heavy moss, algae and weed growth takes longer than regular cleaning.
-
Cleaning method. Hot water and steam cost more to run than cold water pressure cleaning.
-
Additional services. Joint re-sanding, biocide treatment and black spot removal are priced separately.
-
Water supply. Low mains pressure slows tank replenishment and creates downtime.
-
Preparation. A driveway clear on arrival lets cleaning start immediately.

Additional driveway services
Joint re-sanding
After cleaning block paving, we replenish the kiln-dried jointing sand to stabilise the blocks, lock the surface and deter weed regrowth between joints.
Biocide treatment
A post-clean biocide treatment inhibits the return of moss, algae and lichen, giving your driveway long term protection and long lasting results between professional cleans.
Black spot removal
Black spot is a persistent fungal growth commonly found on natural stone driveways and patios. We use specialist products and techniques to treat and remove it effectively.
Do you seal driveways?
No. Elite Jetting does not offer driveway sealing and does not apply sealer. Sealing lays a coat over the cleaned driveway to slow future stains, but needs reapplication on a cycle, can trap moisture in surfaces that were not fully dry, and does not stop moss or algae landing. For protection between driveway cleans we recommend biocide treatment and joint re-sanding. We do not offer repointing.
Is driveway cleaning safe?
Steam cleaning uses heat rather than harsh chemicals and leaves no residue, the safest option where children, pets or planted borders sit close to the work area. Where biocide treatment is applied, pets and children can use the driveway once it is completely dry, typically a few hours. Correctly applied cleaning pressure will not damage a well laid driveway.
Driveway maintenance
Kent weather, wet winters, humid springs and frequent rain, lets moss and algae re-establish quickly, so cleaning a driveway once does not solve it permanently. Moss holds moisture against the surface and accelerates the frost damage cycle that cracks block paving. Moss and algae create slippery surfaces that are hazardous underfoot, and weeds forcing through joints displace blocks.
Recommended maintenance frequency by surface:
Block paving - every 12-18 months | Resin bound - every 18-24 months | Natural stone - every 12-18 months | Tarmac - every 18-24 months | Concrete - every 18-24 months
Driveways in shaded areas, or surrounded by trees, may require more frequent cleaning due to faster moss and algae growth.
Shaded driveways and those under trees need cleaning more often. We advise a driveway clean before winter, and again in spring on heavily used driveways.
