Transforming a Block Paved Driveway in Elloughton
Recently, we were called out to Elloughton to tackle a particularly large block paved driveway spanning an impressive 200m². The homeowner had initially attempted to clean the driveway using their own Karcher pressure washer but quickly realized that the scale of the job was far beyond the capabilities of domestic equipment. That’s when they called in the professionals.
Our team stepped in with the expertise and industrial-grade tools needed to bring the driveway back to life. Here’s how we handled the challenge and achieved outstanding results.
Assessing the Task
At first glance, it was clear this wasn’t an ordinary job. The block paved driveway, heavily soiled with moss and dirt, had lost its original appeal. Tackling such a large surface with a home pressure washer would take days and still wouldn’t achieve the level of cleanliness required. For our team, it was the perfect opportunity to showcase the power of professional pressure washing.
Pressure Washing
We began by pressure washing the edges of the block paved driveway. This step ensures that all areas, including the hard-to-reach spots near borders and walls, are thoroughly cleaned. Removing the buildup in these areas set the foundation for a uniform and pristine finish.
Industrial Surface Cleaning for Deep Dirt Removal
With the edges clean, we moved on to the main area of the driveway. For a job of this scale, our industrial surface cleaner was essential. Unlike domestic equipment, which can struggle with large areas and heavy moss, our equipment provides a deep, even clean across the entire surface. The surface cleaner quickly removed layers of dirt and moss, revealing the natural color and texture of the block paving.
As we worked, the moss was collected, bagged, and removed, ensuring the site was left tidy and ready for the next stages.

Full Rinse Down
Following the pressure washing process, we performed a full rinse down of the block paved driveway, washing away any remaining traces of dirt, sludge, and moss. This thorough rinse ensured that the block paving emerged from its cleansing bath revitalized and free from blemish, ready to showcase its renewed beauty.
Chemical Treatment for a Truly Deep Clean
Once the surface was cleaned, we applied a specialized chemical treatment to the block paved driveway. This step penetrated deep into the block paving, eliminating any remaining organic contaminants and preventing regrowth. The chemical treatment not only sanitized the surface but also enhanced the overall cleanliness and appearance of the block paved driveway.
Re-Sanding the Block Paving
Once the driveway had dried, we returned to re-sand the entire area. This step is critical for block paving. The sand fills the gaps between the blocks, restoring stability, and preventing movement over time. Skipping this step can lead to structural issues, but with fresh sand applied, the driveway was as solid as the day it was installed.

When it comes to large driveways like this one in Elloughton, the difference between a DIY attempt and a professional clean is night and day.
