Driveway Cleaning Service in Manchester
If your driveway looks worn down or unevenly coloured, that’s not something to ignore.
You might not think about it often, but over time, grime settles in deeper than you’d expect. Moss creeps across the paving. Stains take hold.
All of that has a way of dulling the appearance and, in some cases, shortening the lifespan of the surface underneath.
There’s a difference between getting something done and getting it done properly. At Exterior Cleaning Pros, we know driveways are often overlooked until they become more of an eyesore than an entrance.
We’ve been restoring driveways throughout South Manchester for over a decade – Stretford, Didsbury, Chorlton, Cheadle Hulme, Sale, Altrincham, Hale Barns – we’ve restored every type of driveway surface imaginable.

The Problem
DIY attempts can push dirt further into the surface or spread it around
Block paving, tarmac, concrete, resin-bound surfaces – each needs a different approach, and each responds differently to cleaning methods.
DIY attempts can push dirt further into the surface or spread it around. That’s where our equipment comes into play. And more importantly, our approach.
The difference between DIY attempts and professional cleaning comes down to three things:
- Equipment,
- Expertise, and
- Efficiency.
Our industrial-grade pressure washers operate at temperatures and pressures domestic machines can’t match. More importantly, we know when they should—and shouldn’t—be used.
We have the expertise to clean it safely and efficiently.
Some stains need pre-treatment with specific chemicals. Others require a gentler approach to avoid damaging the surface or washing out the jointing sand between blocks.
Take oil stains, for instance. They’re the bane of many driveways, particularly on concrete surfaces where they seem to sink right in. Household degreasers barely touch them.
We use commercial-grade oil stain removers that break down the molecular structure of the oil, allowing it to be lifted from the porous surface rather than pushed deeper into it.
Black spots on block paving are another common issue we tackle. They’re usually lichen, which forms a strong bond with the surface.
- Standard cleaning barely touches them.
- We use specialist biocides that penetrate deep into the paving, eliminating the lichen at its source.

What Makes Us Stand Out
Reliable Driveway Cleaning Service Provider in Manchester
- Moss and algae present different challenges. They're not merely sitting on the surface - they're growing into it, sending tiny roots into every available crack and crevice.
- Simply pressure washing might remove visible growth but leaves the roots intact, meaning regrowth starts almost immediately. Our treatment kills the spores and prevents rapid regrowth, keeping your driveway cleaner for longer.
- The technical side matters, but what our customers tell us they value most is reliability. When we say we'll arrive at 9 AM on Tuesday, that's when we arrive. When we quote for a job, that's what you pay - no mysterious extras appearing halfway through. And when we say your driveway will look transformed, we mean it.
- Many people wait until their driveway looks terrible before calling us, but regular maintenance prevents deep staining and surface degradation.
- A driveway cleaned annually stays in better condition than one left for years then subjected to aggressive cleaning. It's like servicing your car - regular attention prevents bigger problems.

About Us
Our service includes more than running machines over your driveway.
We start by assessing the surface type and condition, identifying specific problem areas that need targeted treatment.
We protect surrounding plants and surfaces, ensure proper drainage to prevent water pooling, and finish by treating the surface to inhibit future growth of moss and weeds.
- For block paving, we can re-sand the joints after cleaning, which stabilises the blocks and prevents weed growth.
- For pattern imprinted concrete, we can apply sealers that enhance the colour and provide protection against future staining. These finishing touches make the difference between a driveway that looks clean for a few weeks and one that stays looking good for months.
- The transformation can be remarkable. Customers often tell us they'd forgotten what colour their driveway originally was.
- Block paving that looked ready for replacement turns out to need only thorough cleaning and re-sanding. Concrete that seemed permanently stained returns to its original appearance.

The driveway to your home or business is often the first impression that a visitor will get. Estate agents speak of “kerb appeal” – the visual impact of your property when someone approaches.
However, with a little investment in a high-quality cleaning service, it can be brought back to its original splendour. Here at External Cleaning Pros we are experts in all aspects of driveway maintenance.
By their very nature exposed to the worst of weathers, driven on, picking up weeds, stains, moss, and general grime. A dull driveway gives a poor impression it looks tired, uncared for, and dull.
We have the experience, training, and the staff to effectively service all types of driveway surfaces, including plain and Pattern Imprinted and Indian sandstone paving.

FAQ
Driveway Cleaning FAQ's
Will jet washing damage my concrete?
No. Damage is caused by holding a zero-degree nozzle too close to the surface. I use the correct fan, the correct distance and a surface cleaner that spreads the pressure evenly.
Do you make a mess with slurry?
No. I control water flow, I contain run-off from commercial sites, and I rinse all adjacent areas before I leave. On domestic jobs I protect lawns and borders.
How long will it stay clean?
On a domestic path, with the biocide applied, you can expect eighteen months to two years before significant regrowth. On a busy commercial yard with heavy traffic, an annual clean maintains standards.
Can you work at weekends?
Yes. I work at your convenience can I can work overnight cleans for commercial clients across Manchester and Cheshire.
Do you remove oil stains and chewing gum?
Yes. I use a hot water system with a specialist degreaser for oil. For chewing gum I use steam at 150 degrees. I will test a small area first and show you the expected result.
