How to prepare for a driveway or patio clean

Ten minutes of prep makes the job faster, tidier and cheaper to quote accurately.

None of this is compulsory — we'll work around whatever we find. But if you'd like the job to run quickly and finish neatly, this is the list.

The evening before

  • Plan where cars will go. A clear surface is a faster, better clean.
  • Move planters, furniture, bins, toys and doormats off the area if you can.
  • Take down anything hanging that would get sprayed.

On the morning

  • Close windows and doors on the working side.
  • Keep pets indoors while treatments are applied and drying.
  • Point out the outside tap, and any socket you'd rather we didn't use.
  • Unlock side gates if we need access to the rear.

Worth mentioning to us

  • Loose or crumbling pointing, cracked flags or blocks that already rock.
  • Drains that back up or areas that flood in heavy rain.
  • Recently planted borders or anything sensitive next to the surface.
  • Damp-prone airbricks, vents or a low door threshold.
  • Whether you're considering sealing, so we can plan for a dry-day return visit.

Common questions

Do you need my water?
An outside tap is helpful. Tell us in advance if there isn't one.
What if it rains on the day?
We'll still clean in light rain. Sanding and sealing move to a dry slot.
Do I need to move the car for the whole day?
Usually just while we work on that section — we'll tell you when it's fine to return.
