Natural sandstone paving adds real character to a driveway, but its porous surface means it can absorb dirt, algae and moss more readily than other materials. Over time this can leave the stone looking dull, stained or slippery, especially in shaded or north-facing areas. Our sandstone cleaning service uses methods suited to natural stone, lifting embedded grime and organic growth without harming the surface.

Caring for Natural Stone

Because sandstone is porous and softer than man-made surfaces, it needs a different approach to cleaning than resin or block paving. We take this into account with the equipment and techniques we use, aiming to restore the natural colour of the stone without causing damage.

What’s Involved

Because sandstone is porous, cleaning it usually starts with a gentler, lower-pressure approach than you’d use on man-made paving, often alongside a cleaning solution suited to natural stone to lift ingrained dirt and organic growth without eroding the surface. Some sandstone can also benefit from a breathable sealer afterwards, which helps protect the stone and make future cleaning easier – we can talk through whether that’s worth considering for your patio or driveway.

Turnaround time and pricing depend on the size of the area and whether sealing is included. Get in touch for a free quote. [PLACEHOLDER – Sealing options and before/after photos of our own work to be added]
