Driveway and patio cleaning in Wareham

Wareham is a fair drive out for me from my base in Kinson, but it's a part of the world worth covering. I travel out across Purbeck to the town and the streets and villages around it. That means Stoborough, Sandford, Northmoor, Westport, Carey and Worgret, down past the Quay on the River Frome and the old town inside the Walls. If you're out at Bestwall or up one of the lanes towards Corfe, that's no problem either. Send me your postcode if you're not sure I reach you.

Wareham is a different sort of job to the newer estates I clean nearer home. It's a walled Saxon town with a conservation area full of listed and period properties. A lot of the walls, paths and frontages are soft Purbeck and old stone, with lime render and old brick mixed in. Those older surfaces are easily pitted if someone turns up and blasts them with too much pressure. They want a careful method, which is exactly how I work. Being down by the Frome, a lot of it sits low and damp too, so north-facing render and paths go green quicker than you'd think.

That's why the first thing I do is match the pressure to the surface. Soft Purbeck stone, lime render and old brick get a soft wash, not a heavy blast, so nothing gets damaged. Newer block paving and concrete can take a rotary clean. I make that call from the photos you send me, before I ever turn up, so there are no surprises on the day. If a surface looks like even a soft wash could risk it, I'll tell you straight rather than go ahead. I'd rather lose the job than damage someone's listed frontage.

My pricing is straight per m², no vague from-prices. Cleaning is £3.50 a metre, re-sanding the joints on block paving is £2 a metre, and an optional seal is £3 a metre. Plenty of people are happy with a clean and a re-sand and that's fine, the seal is only if you want the colour brought up and the finish protected. Send me a photo and your rough m² and I'll work out the exact price before I come out. You only pay once the job's done and you're happy with it.

Because Wareham sits low and damp, the question I get most is whether it'll just go green again. A blast on its own won't hold. I treat the surface after the clean, and that comes with a weed-free guarantee of 6 to 12 months. I'm fully insured with £1 million public liability, and the work's there to see on Google, 5.0 stars from real customers. I treat every property in Wareham as if it were my own, leave little to no mess, and I'm happy to do the same out past the town for Corfe, Wool, Stoborough and the rest of Purbeck.
