Professional Patio & Driveway Cleaning in Suffolk

Your quotation identifies the agreed surfaces, cleaning method and preparation included. A standard clean normally covers suitable pressure or specialist cleaning and removal of loose debris from the working area. Post-clean treatment, re-sanding, repointing, sealing, stain treatments and repairs are only included when specifically itemised.

We assess block paving, concrete, natural stone, porcelain paving, slabs and other hard surfaces. Tarmac, resin-bound surfacing, damaged paving and previously sealed areas need particular care and may require a modified method or may not be suitable. We confirm this before quoting.

No. The method and pressure are matched to the surface and its condition. Controlled pressure washing may be suitable for robust paving, while more sensitive materials may require lower pressure, different equipment or an appropriate cleaning treatment. We avoid using excessive pressure simply to produce a faster result.

Where suitable and agreed, an appropriately selected sodium-hypochlorite or biocidal treatment may be used to target algae, moss, lichen or other organic growth. The product, dilution and method depend on the surface, contamination and surroundings, and all label and site-safety requirements must be followed.

No. Post-clean treatment is recommended only when the surface and remaining biological growth make it appropriate. Where proposed, it is clearly shown in the quotation rather than being assumed as part of every clean.

Yes, where it is needed and included in the quotation. Pressure washing can remove jointing sand, so suitable block paving can be re-sanded after it has dried sufficiently. Standard kiln-dried sand is not suitable for every paving system; permeable paving may require a specific jointing material.

Local repointing can be quoted where existing joints are loose, cracked or missing and the paving is otherwise suitable. Cleaning may reveal defects that were hidden by dirt or moss. Movement, loose slabs, failed bedding or extensive structural repairs may need a paving specialist and are not automatically included.

Compatible sealing can be quoted for suitable surfaces. The paving must be properly cleaned and sufficiently dry, and the weather and product requirements must be suitable. Not every material needs sealing, and we will not recommend a sealer that is incompatible with the paving or an unknown existing coating.

Many marks and organic deposits can be improved, but different stains require different treatments and complete removal cannot always be guaranteed. Oil, rust, paint, cement, efflorescence, deep black spot and long-established lichen are assessed separately before any specialist treatment is proposed.

Cleaning can remove visible weeds and loose growth from the surface and joints, but it cannot prevent future airborne seeds or growth beneath defective paving. Appropriate post-treatment, sound jointing and regular maintenance can help reduce regrowth without guaranteeing that weeds will never return.

The surface must reach the condition required for the chosen material or product. Kiln-dried sand and many sealers require thoroughly dry paving, while pointing and curing times vary. Weather may therefore mean that finishing work is completed during a separate visit.

Prices depend on the surface area, material, condition, access, drainage, contamination and the finishing work requested. Send clear photographs, approximate measurements and your postcode for an initial assessment. We provide a clear quotation before work begins.

Yes. We clean suitable hard surfaces for businesses, landlords and other organisations as well as domestic properties. Commercial work is planned around access, pedestrian management, drainage, operating hours and any treatment or curing restrictions.

Yes. Based in Stowmarket, Pure Horizon covers Stowmarket, Elmswell, Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Woodbridge and many surrounding Suffolk towns and villages. Send us your postcode and we will confirm availability.

The time required depends on the size, material, condition, access and work included. Cleaning may be completed in one visit, while re-sanding, repointing or sealing can require additional drying time and a separate dry-weather visit. We confirm the anticipated schedule when quoting.

Please move vehicles and portable items such as pots or furniture away from the quoted area where practical, and tell us about known coatings, drainage restrictions, loose paving or damaged joints. We confirm any property-specific preparation and access requirements before the visit.
