FAQ

The Ins And Outs of How We Do Business

Why should I get my driveway cleaned?

Leaving your driveway in a poor state will eventually weaken it. Coloured blocks will fade, weeds will cause cracks to appear, and the structure may begin to disintegrate. In the end, you will face a large repair bill to have your driveway fixed. Also, a grimy driveway affects the aesthetic appeal of your property, which will reduce its kerb appeal and value.
How Often Should I Have My Driveway Cleaned?

Ideally, it's best to book a driveway session at least once a year. This keeps it looking in great shape and reduces the risk of damage or deterioration. It's also wise to sweep it down every couple of months and maybe use a driveway/patio cleaner liquid solution once in a while. If you do this, your driveway will stay clean and bright, free from oil stains, dirt and weeds.
What Types Of Driveways Do You Clean?

Smiths Exterior Cleaning Services handle all types of hard surfaces, including the following: • Block Paving • Natural Stone • Imprinted Concrete • Resin-Bound Gravel • Asphalt & Tarmac
Can't I Clean It Myself?

Yes, it is perfectly reasonable for homeowners to want to try cleaning their own driveways. However, you won't get the same flawless results as when a professional cleaning company does the job for you. Also, some driveways require specialist cleaning and can be permanently damaged if not handled correctly. While some people might think that using a pressure washer is a bit of fun, it soon becomes tedious. It makes a lot of mess and takes hours to make a difference to the surface. That's usually because the equipment isn't as powerful or efficient as that which is used by professionals. Even so, if you pressure wash some driveways there's a chance that you'll dislodged blocks or crack the surface. Our advice is: leave it to the experts!
