Your driveway is one of the first things visitors see — but in Cornwall’s coastal climate, it doesn’t take long for moss, algae, and grime to build up. Atlantic Clean, based in Newquay, specialises in professional driveway jet washing that restores kerb appeal and protects your investment.
In this article, we’ll explore how jet washing works, why it’s the best cleaning method for your driveway, and what makes Atlantic Clean Cornwall’s top choice for sparkling results.
Why Jet Washing Your Driveway Matters
Over time, driveways accumulate:
-
Moss and algae that make surfaces slippery.
-
Tyre marks and oil stains.
-
Mud, leaves, and general grime from vehicles and weather.
Without regular cleaning, these contaminants can eat away at the surface, causing cracks and discolouration. Professional jet washing not only improves appearance but also extends the lifespan of your driveway materials — from concrete and tarmac to block paving and stone.
Atlantic Clean’s Expert Jet Washing Process
At Atlantic Clean, we don’t just blast dirt away — we deep-clean using state-of-the-art pressure-washing equipment.
Step-by-Step Approach
-
Assessment: Our team inspects the surface to identify the safest pressure and technique for the material.
-
Pre-Treatment: We apply eco-friendly detergents to loosen tough stains, moss, and algae.
-
Precision Jet Washing: High-pressure water jets remove grime and organic growth without damaging the surface.
-
Re-Sand or Reseal (if required): For block paving, we re-sand joints to maintain stability and prevent weed regrowth.
-
Final Inspection: Every project is reviewed to ensure a flawless finish.
The result? A driveway that looks newly installed — smooth, bright, and completely transformed.
