Is Pressure Washing Safe for Indian Sandstone?
Usually, yes—but sandstone needs a lighter touch than concrete and the pointing must be in good condition.

Pressure washing can bring a tired driveway, patio or path back to life by removing built-up dirt, algae and moss.
More pressure is not always better. We check the material, joints and any existing damage, then use the right setting for the job.

Common pressure washing questions
Can every outdoor surface be pressure washed?
No. Fragile, loose, coated or damaged surfaces may need a gentler method. We will let you know if pressure washing is not the right choice.
Will it remove every stain?
Dirt, moss and algae usually clean up well. Oil, rust and deep lichen can be harder to shift and may need separate treatment.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we have access to the area and everything has been agreed beforehand, we may be able to carry out the work while you are out.

Does Block Paving Need Resanding After Cleaning?
Usually, yes. Cleaning often lifts loose sand from the joints, so they should be checked once the drive has dried.
