Faded colours, weeds in the joints, oil spots—driveways in busy households take a beating. The good news? With the right clean, re-sand and seal, your block paved driveway in Stafford, Stone, Cannock, Rugeley, Penkridge or Newport (Salop) can look fresh again—often in a single visit.
Why professional cleaning matters
DIY pressure washing can blast out jointing sand or leave zebra-striping. Super Drives uses controlled cleaning methods that remove grime, algae and weeds while protecting the surface—and your nearby borders, walls and doors.
The re-sand & seal process (for block paving)
- Deep clean: Lift dirt, moss and stains, including driveway-safe treatments for oil spots.
- Dry-down: Allow the surface to dry so new kiln-dried sand beds properly.
- Re-sand joints: Brush in fresh kiln-dried sand to re-lock the blocks and stabilise the surface.
- Seal: Apply a quality sealer to help bind the sand, enhance colour, resist staining and slow weed regrowth.
Result: a crisper finish, richer colour and a surface that’s easier to keep tidy—ideal for properties across Staffordshire and Shropshire.
Tarmac & concrete: smart refresh options
For tarmac and concrete drives in Cannock, Rugeley or Stone, we:
- Clean and treat the surface,
- Repair cracks and small potholes where needed,
- Apply protective coatings that revive colour and help resist future wear.
How often should you re-sand and seal?
Most block paved drives benefit from re-sanding after a thorough clean and sealing every few years, depending on traffic, shade and local conditions. We’ll recommend a sensible maintenance cycle after inspecting your driveway in Stafford, Penkridge or Newport (Salop).
Benefits you’ll notice straight away
- Kerb appeal: A noticeably brighter, tidier frontage.
- Stability: Re-sanded joints reduce block movement.
- Protection: Sealers help resist oil and food stains, perfect near parked cars or outdoor dining.
- Easier upkeep: Routine sweeping and the odd rinse keep things looking smart.
Before & after: what to expect
Expect a dramatic improvement. Heavily stained areas may need spot treatments; older or subsided patches can often be lifted and relaid as part of the visit (we’ll confirm on survey).
Simple aftercare tips
- Sweep regularly to keep detritus off the joints.
- Remove fresh spills promptly.
- Avoid harsh de-icing salts on block paving.
- Top-up re-sanding after any future heavy clean.
- Ask us about a maintenance plan if you’d like us to handle it.
