the colour it was.
Patios, driveways, paths and steps across Dublin cleaned at pressure matched to the material — shaded suburban driveways green up fast and city paving carries traffic film — with jointing sand replaced where the wash lifts it.

Local context
Dublin driveways carry more than most.
The daily tyre wear of commuter parking, oil from the busiest stretch of road network in the country, and the ingrained urban grime that any Dublin patio picks up between visible cleans. Coastal Malahide, Howth and Dún Laoghaire drives add salt residue on top; leafy Rathgar and Ranelagh add tannin staining from the mature trees overhead.
We pressure-wash patios, driveways, paths and steps across the whole county — Dublin city, Dún Laoghaire, Malahide, Howth, Swords, Blanchardstown, Tallaght, Dundrum and the outer suburbs — matching pressure and nozzle to the paving so nothing gets etched, bleached or blown out on the way to a clean finish.
01 — What's included
What the job actually covers
Patio, driveway or both — quoted as a fixed price before booking. No hidden extras, no day-rate creep.
- Pressure and nozzle matched to the paving type, tested before the main clean
- Weeds and moss cleared from joints, oil and tyre marks pre-treated
- Full surface cleaned in even overlapping passes — no bands, no missed edges
- Joints re-sanded where kiln-dried sand has washed out
- Debris collected, gullies checked and the area rinsed down
- Written fixed price, valid for 30 days
Why it's done this way
Hard paving is the one place where pressure genuinely is the right tool — the surface is dense, the soiling is ingrained, and the result is immediate. The judgement is in the pressure and the pattern. Too much pressure lifts jointing sand, pits soft sandstone and blows out the face of concrete slabs; uneven passes leave visible bands. Where a surface is too soft for pressure, we say so and softwash it instead.

05 — FAQ
Questions we get on this job
Will pressure washing damage my paving?
Not when the pressure is matched to the material. Soft sandstone, painted concrete and timber need lower pressure or softwashing — we assess and test before we start.
Can you remove oil stains completely?
Most oil lifts substantially with pre-treatment. Deep, long-standing stains in porous concrete may remain faintly visible — we say so before quoting rather than after.
Do you re-sand the joints?
Yes. Where kiln-dried sand has washed out of block paving or slab joints we re-sand as part of the job so the surface stays locked together.
Can patio and driveway be done in one visit?
Yes, and it's the cheaper way to do it — one set-up, one visit, and two or more services take 5% off the total.
