Driveway Cleaning Service Hull - How much does it cost?

Factors Influencing Your Driveway Cleaning Cost in Hull:

Driveway cleaning can range from a general spruce-up to tackle dirt and pollution, to a more extensive undertaking targeting lichen, black spot, moss, algae, and invasive weeds. Intensive cleaning jobs may take longer, potentially incurring higher costs, especially if plant growth has caused damage to the underlying brickwork or paving, necessitating repair works.

The primary cost consideration is the size of your driveway, often quoted as an 'all-in' cost.

Average driveway cleaning Cost:

• £100 for a small drive..
• £175 for a medium driveway.
• £300 or more for larger drives, requiring a full day's work.

Alternatively, if quoted per square meter, prices typically cost £3.50 per m2. While some may opt for a DIY approach using relatively affordable DIY pressure washer, professional equipment offers superior power and faster results, particularly in removing ingrained dirt and stubborn stains.

Driveways in poor condition with moss or weed coverings may incur higher costs due to extended cleaning times. Additionally, damage or cracked paving may result in increased charges, as the trades-person may need to repair the affected area.

Additional Price Factors in Driveway Cleaning:

Beyond regular driveway maintenance, additional services might be required for newly acquired properties or neglected driveways. Driveway sealing, costing between £5 and £11 per square meter, is an effective preventive measure against water damage.

Consideration should also be given to potential repair works, such as addressing cracked or damaged drains. A drain survey may be necessary to inspect their condition, potentially leading to drain repairs. Installing an outdoor tap can facilitate future cleaning tasks for both vehicles and the driveway.

Driveway Cleaning and Sealing Cost Quotation:

Typically, driveway cleaning and sealing quotations provide fixed rates for the job. Hourly rates may be applicable if the size or potential underlying damage is uncertain. Measuring the area before requesting a quote can assist tradespeople in providing accurate pricing.

Inclusive of materials, equipment, and labor, the average pricing for driveway cleaning and driveway sealing is as follows:

• £200 for a smaller driveway.
• £340 for a medium-sized drive.
• £500 for a larger driveway.

Alternatively, you can request a quote solely for driveway cleaning or opt for this element if sealant is unnecessary or minor damage is present. This reduces average prices to:

• £100 for a simple clean of a small drive.
• £175 for a clean-only service on a medium driveway.
• £300 for a clean without sealant on a larger driveway.

These are approximate cost indications, and more complex jobs may be quoted differently. It is advisable to invest in sealant application for long-term driveway protection.

Quickest Way to Clean a Driveway:

For homeowners seeking an affordable way to rejuvenate their driveway, professional driveway cleaning is the most efficient option. Typically taking around three hours for a regular-sized driveway, the process includes removing loose debris, applying de-greaser to loosen stains, and scrubbing stubborn stains or lichen to ensure effective pressure washing. While a DIY attempt is feasible, hiring professionals is recommended for optimal results, as achieving a thorough driveway clean by hand may take roughly three times longer than using a commercial-grade pressure washer.
