Jet Washing That Restores Patios and Driveways, Not Just Rinses Them
Patios and driveways take a beating. Damp New Forest winters, shade from trees and salt air near the coast mean moss, algae and organic growth take hold fast. Add tyre marks, oil and general grime, and even good-quality paving can look tired, slippery and neglected within a couple of years.
Purefection cleans patios and driveways using pressure washing, rotary cleaning and specialist treatments. Rotary cleaners give an even finish across the surface without the stripes a hand lance can leave, while treatments are applied to control regrowth where needed. Where possible, weeds are removed from between paving joints too.
The aim is simple: a surface that looks clean, feels safe underfoot and adds kerb appeal, whether it's a family driveway in Lymington, a pool surround in Barton on Sea or a commercial car park.
What Happens If Patios and Driveways Are Left
Joint and Surface Breakdown
Weeds and organic growth push into joints, loosening blocks and slabs over time.
Lost Kerb Appeal
A stained, green driveway is the first thing visitors and buyers notice, dragging down the look of the whole property.
Common mistakes we see
- Hiring or buying a jet wash and blasting too close, which can etch paving and strip pointing.
- Cleaning without treating, so growth returns within months.
- Forgetting to deal with weeds in the joints.
- Using the same approach on every surface: resin, sandstone and block paving all need different care.

Surfaces, Methods and Aftercare
Block Paving
Block paving collects moss and algae in its many joints. It's cleaned with rotary and pressure methods, with weed removal between joints where possible. Customers often choose to have joints re-sanded afterwards to lock blocks in place.
Paving Slabs and Natural Stone
Patios in sandstone, limestone and concrete slab respond well to rotary cleaning with appropriate pressure. Older or loose pointing is worked around carefully.
Concrete and Tarmac
Concrete driveways and tarmac show tyre marks and grime clearly. Pressure washing and treatments lift ingrained dirt and organic growth.
Resin Driveways
Resin-bound surfaces need a gentler approach than block paving to protect the finish, removing dirt and growth without damaging the resin.
Pool Surrounds
Pool surrounds become slippery quickly. Specialist treatments and careful cleaning remove algae, moss and staining.
Residential vs Commercial
Domestic patios and driveways are the bulk of the work, but car parks and commercial hard surfaces are also cleaned, including concrete surrounding buildings.
How Long Do Results Last?
It depends on shade, moisture, nearby trees and how the area is used. Treatments help slow regrowth, and Kieron can give property-specific guidance at quotation stage.
