How long does it take?
An average Kilkenny domestic driveway takes 2 to 4 hours including pre-treatment. Resin and cobblelock can take a little longer because of the joint work. Where the weather allows, we start in the morning so the surface has time to dry before the evening.
How often should you clean it?
In Ireland’s wet, mild climate every 12 to 18 months is the sweet spot. Leave it longer and the moss roots go deep into the joints, so each subsequent clean takes longer and re-growth happens faster. A discounted yearly maintenance clean keeps it looking sharp.
Optional driveway sealing
Once the driveway is fully cleaned and dry, an optional sealer locks in the result — keeping colours fast, slowing weed and moss re-growth, and making future cleans quicker and cheaper. Sealing is quoted separately so you can decide once you’ve seen the finish.

Frequently asked questions
Will pressure washing damage my driveway?
Not when it’s done properly. The right nozzle, pressure and surface cleaner makes all the difference. We never blast block paving joints with a turbo nozzle — that’s how you lose the sand and end up with a worse-looking driveway. The kiln-dried sand we put back replaces what’s lost during cleaning.
Do you re-sand block paving?
Yes — kiln-dried sand is included as standard on all block paving and cobblelock driveways. We brush it into the joints once the surface has dried, then compact it.
What about oil stains?
Most recent oil stains lift with a pre-treatment. Older, soaked-in stains may not fully clear — we’ll be straight with you about what to expect before you commit, and show you the test patch result first.
Do I need to be home?
No, you don’t. We just need access to the driveway and an outdoor tap. Most customers leave us to it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Public liability cover is in place for every job. Happy to send a copy of the cert before we start.
Can I drive on it the same day?
Yes, once the surface has dried and the joint sand has been brushed in and compacted — usually a couple of hours after we finish.
