Driveways, patios and garden walls can lose their colour surprisingly quickly. Shaded areas stay damp, block-paving joints collect weeds and moss, and porous stone can develop algae or dark organic staining. RMS provides exterior cleaning and practical surface restoration throughout Eastwood, helping homeowners recover a cleaner, safer and better-presented outdoor space.
We are based nearby in Brinsley, so Eastwood is part of our regular working area. You deal directly with Richard and the RMS team, from the first photographs or site visit through to the final clean-up. Our approach is straightforward: assess the material, explain what can realistically be improved and provide a written quotation before work begins.
Driveway and block-paving cleaning
Block paving needs more than a quick blast with a domestic washer. We remove surface dirt, moss, algae and loose growth with professional equipment selected for the condition of the paving. Once the blocks are dry, kiln-dried sand can be swept back into suitable joints. Where requested and appropriate for the surface, sealing can also be quoted separately.
If a driveway contains loose or sunken blocks, cleaning alone will not correct the underlying movement. Because RMS also undertakes paving and groundwork repairs, we can identify small defects and discuss lifting, levelling or replacing affected sections rather than cleaning over a problem.
Patio and natural-stone care
Indian sandstone, concrete paving and porcelain do not all respond to the same treatment. We assess the surface, joint condition, staining and drainage before deciding how to clean it. Pressure, suitable treatments and working distance are adjusted to reduce the risk of marking slabs or disturbing sound joints.
Black spot, lichen and long-established organic staining may need a staged treatment rather than excessive pressure. Results depend on the material and how deeply staining has penetrated, so we set realistic expectations before starting.
Brickwork, walls and exterior details
Garden walls and brick elevations can gather algae, dirt and atmospheric staining. We provide careful masonry cleaning and can also quote for related brick replacement or repointing where deterioration is visible. Render, fascias and other exterior surfaces are assessed individually so the method suits the material rather than relying on maximum pressure.
Roof and gutter cleaning may also be available following an access and condition assessment. We will confirm what is suitable for the roof covering and property before including it in a quotation.
A restoration-led service
RMS Exterior Cleaning grew from the cleaning work needed after our own building and landscaping projects. That background matters: we understand paving construction, mortar joints, drainage and brickwork, so we can distinguish between a surface that needs cleaning and one that also needs repair.

Frequently asked questions
How much does pressure washing cost in Eastwood?
The price depends on the surface area, material, access, condition and whether re-sanding, sealing or repairs are needed. Photographs are useful for an initial discussion, but some work requires a site visit before we can provide an accurate written quotation.
Will you re-sand block paving after cleaning?
Re-sanding can be included where the paving and joints are suitable. The blocks need to dry before kiln-dried sand is applied, so this may be completed after the main clean depending on the weather.
Can you remove every black spot or stain?
We can often make a substantial improvement, but no responsible contractor should guarantee complete removal before assessing the surface. Some stains penetrate porous paving or require more than one treatment.
Can you repair damaged paving or brickwork at the same time?
Yes. RMS can quote for suitable small paving repairs, replacement bricks and repointing alongside the cleaning work. Structural concerns may require further assessment.

A Practical Exterior-Cleaning Plan for Eastwood Properties
Driveways, patios and garden walls do not all weather in the same way. Before quoting in Eastwood, RMS checks the material, joint condition, staining, access and where water will run. Block paving may need re-sanding after cleaning, while natural stone and older brickwork require a method suited to their condition.
Driveway and block-paving restoration
A useful restoration visit can include cleaning the blocks, clearing edges and drainage channels, allowing the paving to dry and replacing lost kiln-dried jointing sand where agreed. Sealing is treated as a separate option because the paving must first be assessed for condition, moisture and previous products.
Cleaning with repair knowledge
RMS combines more than 11 years of exterior-cleaning experience with around 25 years in brickwork, building and landscaping. If cleaning reveals loose pointing, damaged steps, unstable edging or a drainage concern, we can explain practical repair options rather than simply washing around the problem.
What affects an Eastwood quotation?
Price depends on area, material, access, staining, joint loss and whether re-sanding, sealing or repairs are required. Photographs help with the first discussion, followed by a site visit where needed and a clear written quotation.
