The service
What Exterior Property Cleaning
Involves
Driveways, patios, paths and outside surfaces collect dirt, moss, algae and stains over time. Surfaces that are structurally sound can look years past their best simply because of what has built up on them.
A thorough exterior clean removes that build-up and reveals the original colour and texture. For many homeowners, it's the difference between thinking they need a new driveway and realising the one they have is fine.
Paul knows hard landscaping from the ground up, so he cleans surfaces with an understanding of how they were built, and can tell you honestly if a surface needs more than cleaning.
Why it matters
What Happens
If It's Left or Done Badly
Slip hazards
Moss and algae make surfaces dangerously slippery, especially in wet weather.
Weed damage
Weeds growing in joints push blocks and slabs apart over time.
Faster wear
Organic growth holds moisture against surfaces, speeding up deterioration.
Poor first impressions
Dirty exteriors make a home look uncared for to visitors and buyers.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using too much pressure and damaging surfaces or joints
- Not re-sanding block paving joints after cleaning
- Leaving the clean too long, so growth becomes established
- Replacing surfaces that only needed cleaning

In detail
Exterior Property Cleaning:
Options & Methods
Driveway cleaning
Block paving, tarmac, resin and concrete drives all need different approaches. Block paving usually needs joints refilled with kiln-dried sand afterwards to keep blocks locked in place and discourage weeds.
Patio and path cleaning
Natural stone, concrete slabs and porcelain each respond differently to cleaning. The method is matched to the material so the surface comes up clean without damage.
Other exterior surfaces
Walls, steps and other outside areas can be cleaned as part of the same visit. Paul will talk through what's suitable at the site visit.
Keeping surfaces clean
Regular sweeping, clearing leaves and dealing with weeds early all help a clean last longer. Paul can advise on simple upkeep for your surfaces.
Preparing your home for sale
A clean driveway and patio are among the quickest ways to improve first impressions in property photos and viewings.
How often to clean
Most homes benefit from a deep clean every year or two, depending on shade, trees and how much the surfaces are used. Shaded areas grow moss and algae fastest.
What affects the cost of exterior property cleaning?
Every job is priced individually after a free site visit. The main factors are:
- Total area to be cleaned
- Type of surface
- Level of moss, algae and staining
- Joint refilling for block paving
- Access and water supply
- Additional areas such as paths and steps
Your written quote sets out exactly what's included, so there are no surprises once work begins. A deposit secures your start date, and the balance can be paid by bank transfer or card.

Why Homeowners Choose Paul
for Exterior Property Cleaning
When you book exterior property cleaning with LP Home and Landscapes, you're not handed from a salesperson to a subcontractor you've never met. Paul Eastwood visits, measures and quotes himself, then runs the job from the first day to the final walk-through. Where a specific task needs a specialist, he brings in people he trusts and stays responsible for the result.
Paul has around 25 years of hands-on experience. He started working weekends with his dad at 12, and over the years built up skills across landscaping, building and roofing because he was tired of seeing so-called installers let customers down. The layout, installation and finish are done the way he would want them at his own home.
He's building the business so his children can one day take it on, which means every job has to be one he's proud to put the family name to. That's why the work is covered by £1m public liability insurance.
