How We Approach Driveway Cleaning
Good exterior cleaning is about choosing the correct process for the surface, not just turning up with a pressure washer. This is especially important for render, sandstone, porcelain, tarmac, block paving and stain removal.
1. Assess the surface
We check the material, staining, drainage and access so the cleaning method is suitable before starting.
2. Prepare and clear
Loose furniture, debris and obvious loose dirt are moved or cleared where practical.
3. Clean with the right method
Pressure, flow, surface cleaner, soft wash or treatment is chosen based on the job rather than a one-method-fits-all approach.
4. Treat specific staining
Black spot, algae, oil, rust, grease or render staining may need targeted treatment rather than water alone.
5. Rinse and check
The surface is rinsed, checked and touched up where needed so the final result is clean and consistent.
Price Guide & What Affects Cost
Most domestic driveway cleaning quotes vary by size, access, water flow, surface type and staining. Small driveways are often quoted lower than larger multi-car areas, while oil, rust or heavy weeds can add time and treatment cost.

FAQs About Driveway Cleaning
How much does driveway cleaning cost in Exeter?
The cost depends on the area size, surface, access and level of staining. For Exeter jobs, we usually price from photos first and confirm anything unusual before booking.
Can you quote driveway cleaning from photos?
Yes. Clear photos or a short WhatsApp video are normally enough for an initial fixed quote, especially for patios, driveways, paths and smaller exterior cleaning jobs.
Is driveway cleaning safe for the surface?
Yes, when the correct method is used. We adjust pressure, nozzles, flow rate and treatment depending on the surface rather than treating every driveway cleaning job the same.
Do you use chemicals?
Only where they are useful and suitable. Organic growth, black spot, oil, rust, grease and render staining often need different treatments. We avoid unnecessary chemical use where a water-only clean is sufficient.
How long does driveway cleaning take?
Small areas may be completed in a few hours, while larger or heavily stained surfaces can take a full day or more. The quote will explain what is involved.
Do I need to be home?
Not always. If access and water are available and everything has been agreed beforehand, many jobs can be completed while you are out.
Do you cover Exeter and Devon?
Yes. Pressure Washing Exeter is based in Exeter and covers Exeter, East Devon, Mid Devon, Teignbridge, Torbay and wider Devon depending on the job size.
What makes professional cleaning different from DIY?
Professional cleaning uses higher water flow, better surface cleaners, appropriate treatments and experience with delicate or stained surfaces. This usually gives a deeper and more even result than a domestic machine.
Do block paved driveways need re-sanding after cleaning?
Often, yes. Pressure washing removes dirt and loose jointing sand, so re-sanding helps stabilise the blocks and improves the finish.
Can oil stains be fully removed?
Fresh oil stains usually respond better than old stains. Some marks can be improved dramatically, but deeply soaked oil may leave a shadow.
