Professional Driveway Cleaning & Sealing Services in Essex
Weather, moss, algae and oil stains can make even well-kept driveways look tired and unsafe. Our professional driveway cleaning services in Essex restore surfaces quickly and safely, improving kerb appeal and extending the life of your drive with targeted cleaning followed by durable sealing.
We use industry-grade pressure washing and purpose-built cleaning equipment with eco-conscious detergents to remove ingrained dirt, oil, moss and weeds. Each material receives a tailored approach — high-pressure rotary cleaning for block paving, breathable methods for tarmac, and low-pressure soft wash for resin — to deliver great results without damage.
Cleaning is just the first step. We offer sealing and coating options chosen for each surface to provide long-lasting protection against weather and vehicle fluids. Below you’ll find a short guide to sealants and coatings suitable for Essex drives.
- Free site survey and bespoke quote, professional pressure cleaning, pre-treatment for oil and stains, joint sand replacement for block paving, sand stabilisation, sealing or coating, and a final quality inspection
- Reduces moss and algae and helps prevent weeds reappearing in joints
- Restores and preserves colour on driveways and patios for better kerb appeal
- Improves slip resistance and extends surface life — better long-term value for customers
Block Paving Cleaning
Block paving restoration uses high-pressure rotary surface cleaners where suitable, joint weed removal, persistent moss treatment and replacement with kiln-dried jointing sand before sand stabilisation and protective sealing to reduce re-growth.
Tarmac Cleaning
For tarmac we use hot or cold pressure washing and specialist detergents, then apply a breathable seal to restore colour and protect against weathering and oil stains while preserving surface permeability.
Resin Driveway Care
Resin-bound driveways receive low-pressure soft wash and specialist cleaners to remove staining without harm, followed by a compatible protective coating to retain appearance and slip resistance.

Our Simple Driveway Cleaning & Sealing Process in Essex
Our Driveway Sealing & Coating Essex service protects surfaces from weathering and vehicle fluids. Choose a penetrating sealant where breathability is important (e.g. tarmac or porous concrete) or a surface coating when you want enhanced colour and improved slip resistance (e.g. repainted-look finishes on block paving). Typical sealed surfaces last 2–3 years before reapplication is recommended, though exact longevity depends on use and local conditions.
1. Free Survey & Quote
We start with a no-obligation site survey to measure your driveway or patio, assess moss, weeds, oil stains, or damaged joints, and recommend the best cleaning and sealing solution. You’ll receive a clear written quote and a realistic timescale, with most appointments scheduled the same or following week.
2. Professional Cleaning
Using industry-grade pressure washing and jet cleaning equipment, we tailor the method to your surface. High-pressure rotary cleaning tackles block paving and stubborn dirt, while low-pressure soft washing is used for resin or delicate finishes. We remove weeds, moss, algae, and oil stains, leaving the surface clean and ready for sealing.
3. Driveway Sealant
Once fully dry (usually 24–48 hours, weather dependent), we apply a suitable sealant. Options include penetrating sealers to repel water and oil, or surface coatings to enrich colour and add slip resistance. For block paving, we also re-sand joints with kiln-dried sand and stabiliser to minimise weed growth.
4. Completion & Guarantee
We complete a joint inspection to ensure a quality finish and lasting protection. Our team provides aftercare advice, including recommended cleaning methods and resealing schedules, so your driveway or patio stays in excellent condition for years.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Driveway Cleaning & Sealing in Essex
Driveway Cleaning & Sealing Essex — What to expect
How much does driveway cleaning and sealing cost in Essex?
Prices depend on size, surface type (block paving, tarmac, resin, imprinted concrete or concrete), condition and whether you choose sealing. As a guide, cleaning-only jobs often start from around £120–£250 for small driveways, with sealing from £80–£200 extra depending on product and coverage. Exact costs are provided in a free, no-obligation written quote after our site survey.
To arrange a personalised estimate for driveway or patio cleaning services in Basildon and across Essex, call 0800 170 0519 or email info@righttimebuildingcontractors.co.uk.
How long does driveway cleaning and sealing take?
A standard cleaning usually takes one day. Drying time before sealing is typically 24–48 hours (weather dependent). Sealing itself is usually completed within a day; full curing can take longer depending on the product. Larger or heavily stained jobs may require extra time — we confirm a precise schedule during your site survey.
How often should driveways be cleaned and sealed?
We recommend professional cleaning every 12–18 months to remove moss, weeds and staining. Sealing generally lasts about 2–3 years on most surfaces; heavy vehicle use or coastal weather can reduce this. Regular maintenance helps prevent weeds taking hold in joints and keeps surfaces looking their best.
Can you clean and seal all types of driveways and patios?
Yes — we work on block paving, tarmac (asphalt), resin-bound surfaces, concrete, pattern imprinted concrete and natural stone patios. Each surface needs a tailored approach: high-pressure rotary cleaning and joint sand replacement for block paving, low-pressure soft wash for resin, and breathable sealants for tarmac to protect permeability.
Will sealing prevent weeds and moss growth?
Sealing significantly reduces weed and moss growth, especially when combined with joint restoration. Our process includes removal of existing weeds and moss, optional weed treatment, replacement of jointing sand with kiln-dried sand for block paving, sand stabiliser application and surface sealing. While no treatment completely eliminates regrowth, this approach extends the time between professional cleans.
Are your cleaning products and methods environmentally safe?
We use eco-conscious detergents and controlled pressure washing methods to limit run-off and protect gardens and drains. Our team is trained in best-practice use of pressure cleaning equipment and cleaning products; ask during your site survey about specific product choices for your job.
Do you offer guarantees or warranties on your work?
We stand behind our work with a workmanship guarantee on completed jobs. Specific warranty details vary by treatment or sealant used; we confirm product and workmanship guarantees in writing with your written quote.
