Block Paving & Concrete Driveways
At Washed Away Pressure Wash Solutions, we specialise in the meticulous cleaning and maintenance of block paving and concrete driveways. With over ten years of experience, our skilled team is adept at removing dirt, grime, and stubborn stains that accumulate over time. Our comprehensive cleaning process not only enhances the appearance of your driveways but also extends their lifespan, making your property look pristine and well-maintained
Our process begins with a thorough assessment of the driveway to determine the best cleaning approach. We use high-pressure washing equipment to effectively remove built-up dirt and moss, restoring the surface to its original condition. For block paving, we ensure that the joints are cleared of weeds and debris, which can cause long-term damage if left untreated. This attention to detail helps in maintaining the structural integrity of your driveway.
In addition to cleaning, we offer specialised services such as re-sanding and sealing for block paving. This involves filling the joints with kiln-dried sand and applying a high-quality sealant to protect against future wear and tear. The sealing process not only enhances the color and appearance of the paving but also prevents weed growth and water penetration, ensuring your driveway remains in top condition for years to come.
We also provide concrete staining services, which add a decorative touch to plain concrete surfaces. Our staining techniques can transform the look of your driveway, giving it a unique and attractive finish. Whether you prefer a natural stone appearance or a more vibrant color, our team can deliver results that match your aesthetic preferences. At Washed Away Pressure Wash Solutions, we are committed to delivering exceptional service and ensuring your driveways look their best.
Importance of Sanding and Sealing
Sanding and sealing are crucial steps in the maintenance of block paving and concrete driveways. These processes help in preserving the structural integrity and appearance of your surfaces. Over time, the joints between pavers can become loose and filled with weeds or debris, compromising the stability of the paving. Sanding helps to secure these joints, preventing movement and maintaining the evenness of the surface.
Sealing, on the other hand, provides a protective barrier against the elements. Concrete and paving stones are porous materials, which means they can absorb water, oils, and other contaminants. This absorption can lead to staining, freeze-thaw damage, and degradation over time. Applying a high-quality sealant prevents these substances from penetrating the surface, thereby reducing the risk of damage and making the surface easier to clean.
Sealing enhances the aesthetic appeal of your driveway. It brings out the natural colours of the paving materials and adds a subtle sheen that makes the surface look fresh and well-maintained. This not only improves the overall look of your property but can also increase its market value. A well-sealed driveway is more attractive to potential buyers and indicates that the property has been well cared for.
Regular maintenance through sanding and sealing also reduces the need for more extensive repairs in the future. By addressing minor issues early, you can prevent them from developing into larger, more costly problems. At Washed Away Pressure Wash Solutions, we recommend periodic sanding and sealing as part of a comprehensive maintenance plan to keep your block paving and concrete driveways in optimal condition.
