What we clean and how
Driveways and patios in the North West take a beating: rain, moss, weeds between the joints, oil drips and tyre marks. Left alone they turn green and slippery. We use commercial-grade pressure washers with the pressure and nozzle matched to the surface, so block paving is not scarred and tarmac is not lifted.
After the clean we treat the surface with a biocide to slow regrowth, re-sand block paving joints with kiln-dried sand, and seal where you want extra protection and a richer colour.

Our driveway and patio cleaning process in Blackburn
- 1
Assess and prepare
We check the surface type, the joints and any staining, and pick the right pressure, nozzle and treatment for it.
- 2
Clean
A thorough pressure wash with commercial equipment lifts the growth, dirt and stains without damaging the surface.
- 3
Treat, re-sand, seal
A biocide keeps the growth off for longer. Block paving is re-sanded, and we seal the surface if you want a longer-lasting finish.
- 4
Tidy up
Drains are cleared, beds and paths are rinsed, and you get before and after photos.
Why choose Hydro Cleanse for driveway cleaning in Blackburn?
Blackburn and Darwen get some of the highest rainfall in Lancashire and the driveways pay for it. Block paving on the newer estates around Feniscowles, Lammack and Whitebirk goes green in the joints, the Indian stone patios in Pleasington and Mellor turn black on the shaded side, and tarmac drives up the hills in Darwen collect moss along the edges.
We clean at the right setting for each surface: a commercial pressure washer with a rotary surface cleaner on block paving, stone and concrete, and a lower, angled pressure on tarmac so the surface stays put. Weeds and moss are treated at the root, not just knocked off.
Block paving is re-sanded with kiln-dried sand once it is dry, which locks the blocks and slows the weeds right down, and sealing is available on block paving, stone and concrete to keep the colour and shed the water. Drains, beds and paths are rinsed and cleared before we leave.
From Darwen and Feniscowles to Wilpshire, Rishton and Great Harwood, we cover the whole of the Blackburn area, twenty minutes from our yard in Haslingden. Fixed quote before we start, before and after photos when we finish.

What our customers say
“Hydro did a brilliant job over two days of restoring my tarmac front drive, flags and bricked walls and steps to such an extent that they all looked as if they had just been built once finished. They also did the same in the garden with our Indian stone and concrete flags. Peter and Steve worked tirelessly throughout despite cold Rossendale wind and rain. I would highly recommend them.”
“Transformation! Peter did a fantastic job jet washing (then chemical treating) my yard and patio. The patio now looks like it was laid yesterday - no word of a lie. Peter is such a nice chap and a real hard worker - well worth the money and I will certainly be having him back again. Thank you so much and I shall be recommending you to others too. 👍👍👍”
“Our large block paved drive area and surrounding flagged areas now look like new!! All done professionally, efficiently and to the correct timescale. Value for money and well worth waiting for - I will use this company every time in future. Cannot recommend them highly enough!”
Blackburn driveway cleaning FAQs
Will pressure washing damage my block paving?
Not when it is done properly. We match the pressure and nozzle to the surface and re-sand the joints afterwards, which is the part most people skip.
Do you re-sand and seal?
Yes. Re-sanding of block paving joints is part of the job, and sealing is an option we recommend for block paving and Indian stone.
How long will it stay clean?
With the biocide treatment, typically a year or two before green growth starts to return, longer if sealed. An annual clean keeps it looking new.
Can you remove oil stains?
Most oil, rust and tyre marks can be lifted or greatly reduced with the right treatment. Very old, deep oil stains may lighten rather than disappear completely, and we will tell you which before we start.
How much does driveway cleaning cost?
It depends on the size of the area and its condition. Send a photo and your postcode for a fixed quote.
