Block paving, gravel, brick paviours and tarmac. We lift the Avon flood silt and the plum-tree staining the valley throws at your drive, then re-sand the joints as standard. Fully insured, no deposit, 2-year guarantee.
Most towns hand a driveway one problem at a time. Pershore manages two at once, and they come from opposite directions. From below, the town sits low on the flat floor of the Avon valley, where the river loops past on its way to meet the Severn at Tewkesbury — and when it rises, the Bridge Street and Wick end of town floods often enough to carry its own Environment Agency warning zone. Even when it doesn't flood, surface water moving across that low ground drops a layer of fine river silt onto the lowest drives. It dries into the surface and the joints, and the organic matter in it feeds a slippery green film that a hosepipe just smears about.
From above comes the other half. This is plum country — the Pershore Plum, the Yellow Egg and the Emblem all came from here, and the festival each August still celebrates them — so an unusual number of drives sit under fruit trees and old orchard plots. Leaf fall, blossom and sap drip down and stain block paving and concrete with dark tannin blotches, and the constant shade and drip keep the surface damp enough for algae to settle on top. The combination — silt working up from the ground, tannin and shade coming down from the canopy — is what makes a Pershore drive look tired faster than the same drive would on the drier slopes out towards Bredon Hill or the Cotswold edge.
The dominant surface here is block paving. The post-war and modern estate drives climbing Allesborough Hill, around Three Springs and along Newlands are mostly concrete block, and a lot of them haven't been re-sanded since the day they were laid — so the joints have washed thin, weed and moss have colonised the gaps, and in the humid valley air a white efflorescence bloom often hazes the newer ones. That's the bread-and-butter Pershore job: lift the silt and growth out evenly, treat the tannin stain, then brush fresh kiln-dried sand back into every joint so the drive locks up again.
The historic core throws up something different. Behind the long Georgian frontages on Bridge Street, Broad Street and the High Street you find brick and clay-paviour drives and yards, and out on the Georgian plots and the WR10 villages there's loose gravel and shingle on the older, larger properties. None of that wants a block-paving approach. Old brick paviours are softer and lift easily, gravel scatters into the borders if you put a pressure lance anywhere near it, and both silt up in this low ground and need clearing rather than blasting. We match the method to the surface, every time.
One thing we'll say plainly: we don't blast a drive to save ourselves time. High pressure free-handed across block paving leaves zebra-stripes, fires the joint sand out, lifts soft brick and scatters gravel — it looks dramatic on the day and tired by the spring. A controlled rotary clean on the block, a gentle low-pressure clean on the brick, tarmac and gravel, the stains treated properly and the joints re-sanded: that's the difference between a drive that's rinsed and a drive that's restored.
Each one wants a different hand — and in this valley each one collects its own kind of dirt. Method matters more than horsepower.
The bulk of Pershore — the post-war and modern roads up Allesborough Hill, around Three Springs and along Newlands. Concrete block, usually with washed-out joints, weed and moss in the gaps, and often a white efflorescence haze on the newer drives. We clean it with a rotary surface cleaner for an even, stripe-free finish, lift any silt and tannin film, then brush fresh kiln-dried sand into every joint as standard so it locks back down.
Common on the Georgian properties in town and the larger homes out at Wick, Pensham, Pinvin and Birlingham. Loose gravel silts up in this low ground, scatters and grows weed and moss between the stones. We never put a high-pressure lance on it — that just fires stone into the hedge. Instead we lift the weed and moss, clear the trapped silt so it drains again, and re-level and top up the stone where it's needed.
The drives, yards and parking areas tucked behind the Georgian frontages on Bridge Street, Broad Street and the High Street are often older brick or clay paviours. Softer than concrete block and easy to lift, so they get a gentler low-pressure clean, careful work around the edges, and re-sanding to settle them back. The kind of surface a careless contractor damages — and exactly the kind we slow down for.
Plenty of the older Pershore drives are plain tarmac, oxidising grey with age and going green where the valley keeps them damp. Tarmac never wants high pressure — blast it and you strip the binder and tear the surface. We drop the pressure right down, lift the algae and silt film gently, and bring the colour back without chewing the surface up.
From the estates climbing out of the valley to the Georgian core and the WR10 villages around it — same Avon-valley silt and damp, a slightly different drive on each.
The post-war and later housing on the higher ground at the edge of town — mostly concrete block paving, much of it never re-sanded since it was laid, so the joints have washed thin and the weeds have moved in. The classic Pershore re-sand job.
Settled residential streets to the south and east, near the Defford Road end of the flood zone. Mid-century block-paving and concrete drives that mat up with green film fast in the low, wet ground and take the rotary-clean-and-re-sand treatment well.
One of the oldest streets in town, running back from the High Street with a mix of period and later homes — brick paviours, block and the odd gravel forecourt, all needing the surface read carefully before a lance goes anywhere near it.
The Georgian heart of the Gem Town, and the lowest-lying part of it — drives and yards behind the listed frontages, often old brick or clay paviour, and the first to take Avon silt when the river comes up. Gentle, careful work only.
The riverside villages just across the Avon, sharing the same flood-warning zone as Bridge Street — period cottages and newer homes with gravel and block drives, often tree-shaded and damp, where the silt clears and the growth lifts rather than gets blasted.
The WR10 villages ringing Pershore, sitting in the same Evesham–Worcester corridor we already cover — country drives of gravel, brick and block, plus newer estate plots, all greening in this damp pocket of the valley floor.
The same standard on every drive — a block-paved one up Allesborough Hill or an old brick yard behind Bridge Street. The method changes with the surface; the care doesn't.
Send your WR10 postcode and a couple of photos and we can usually price it without a visit — tell us the rough size and the surface. We'll flag whether it's a silt clean, a tannin-stain job, a re-sand or all three, and whether your plot floods regularly so we time it right. Visits available if you'd prefer.
Block paving and concrete get a rotary surface cleaner — even pressure, no zebra-stripes — lifting the river silt out of the surface and the joints. Brick paviours, tarmac and gravel get a gentle low-pressure clean instead, so we don't lift soft blocks, strip binder or scatter stone. Stubborn tannin and oil patches are treated, not blasted.
Once the block paving has dried, fresh kiln-dried sand is brushed into every joint and the excess swept off, so the drive locks back down. Gravel beds are re-levelled and topped up. Run-off is washed off the kerbs and lawns, and the silt we've lifted is cleared away — not left in a heap by the gate.
On the right surface, a breathable sealer locks the sand in, blocks weeds, makes oil and tyre marks wipe off, and slows down how fast the algae and tannin film come back — which on this damp valley floor, often under fruit trees, is the part that earns its keep. Adds 2–3 years before the next deep clean. More on sealing →
Most drive cleaners pressure-wash, hose down and disappear — leaving sand-stripped joints that wash straight out the next time the Avon valley gets a wet week. We re-sand every block-paving drive as standard so the surface stays locked after we leave.
That matters more in Pershore than in most places. On this low, wet ground an un-sanded drive loses its lock fast — the blocks rock, water tracks down the open joints, and weed and moss take hold within weeks. The estate drives up Allesborough Hill and around Three Springs that have never been re-sanded are exactly the ones that need it. We brush fresh kiln-dried sand into every joint, sweep off the excess, and the drive is stable again — and because we're a no-deposit outfit, you don't pay a penny until the job's done and you're happy with it.
Get my Pershore quotePershore throws up everything from a tight block-paved drive up Allesborough Hill to a long gravel approach out at Pensham, and the silt-and-stain jobs near the river take more careful work than a clean, dry drive on higher ground — which is part of why we won't quote a flat rate over the phone. Every drive's a different size and condition. But to be straight with you, most driveway cleans are £180–£450. A small, simple block-paved or concrete drive sits at the lower end; a larger drive, heavy flood silt or tannin staining, awkward gravel, or a re-sand and seal afterwards push it up.
What moves the price:
Always included on block paving, never an add-on: the kiln-dried re-sand that locks the joints back down — the bit a lot of cheaper cleaners quietly skip.
How we quote: a free no-obligation survey, a written price the same day, no deposit, pay only when it's done. Got faded printed concrete as well? Ask about imprinted concrete re-colouring and sealing at the same time to keep it cleaner for longer.
Yes, and it's one of the most common jobs we get in Pershore. The Bridge Street and Wick end of town sits inside an Environment Agency flood-warning zone, and when the Avon comes up it leaves a layer of fine river silt across the lowest drives. As it dries it bakes into the surface and the joints, and the organic matter in it feeds a slippery green film that a hosepipe just smears around. A rotary surface cleaner lifts that silt out of block paving evenly, and we flush the joints clear before re-sanding so the drive drains and grips properly again. If your plot floods most winters we'll be straight with you about timing — there's little point sealing a drive that's going back under water, so we work the clean and treatment around the season.
Almost certainly. Pershore is plum country — the Pershore Plum, the Yellow Egg and the Emblem all came from here — and a lot of drives sit under fruit trees that drop leaves, blossom and sap onto the surface. That tannin staining soaks into block paving and concrete, leaves dark blotches, and the constant leaf-drip keeps the surface damp enough for algae to take hold on top. A general jet-wash often won't touch ingrained tannin. We lift the algae and silt with the rotary cleaner, treat the stubborn tannin patches with the right cleaning agent rather than brute pressure, then biocide-treat the whole drive so the green doesn't come straight back through where the tree still overhangs.
No. A rotary surface cleaner spreads the pressure evenly across the face of the blocks and stays parallel to the surface, so you get a clean, even finish with none of the zebra-striping you see when someone free-hands a lance across the slabs. The only thing it really strips is the kiln-dried sand from the joints — which is exactly why we re-sand every block-paving drive as standard before we leave. On the brick paviours behind the town-centre frontages, and on tarmac and gravel, we drop the pressure right down and clean gently so we don't lift loose blocks, blast stone away or strip the binder.
We re-sand every block-paving drive — it's included, not an add-on. Cleaning inevitably washes the old kiln-dried sand out of the joints, and on the low, wet Pershore valley floor an un-sanded drive loses its lock fast: the blocks start to rock, water tracks straight down the open joints, and weed and moss colonise the gaps within weeks. Once the surface has dried we brush fresh kiln-dried sand into every joint, sweep off the excess, and the drive is locked up and stable again. The estate drives up Allesborough Hill, Three Springs and Newlands that have never been re-sanded since they were laid are exactly the ones this matters most for.
That's efflorescence — a natural lime salt bloom that works its way to the surface of concrete block paving, and it shows up faster in damp valley-floor air like Pershore's. It looks like a dusty white haze and people often mistake it for damage or for a clean that's gone wrong. It isn't permanent, and a proper clean lifts most of it; the rest weathers out over the following months as the blocks finish curing. We'll tell you honestly whether what you're looking at is efflorescence or staining before we start, because the two are handled differently.
In Pershore it's worth considering more than in most places. Sealing a block-paving drive after cleaning locks the fresh sand into the joints, blocks weeds out, makes the surface far easier to keep clean, and slows down how fast algae and tannin film get a grip again — which on this humid valley floor, often under fruit trees, is the thing that brings people back. A good sealer adds roughly 2–3 years before the next deep clean and makes oil and tyre marks easy to wipe. Whether it's worth the extra on your particular drive depends on the surface, its age and how shaded it is, and we'll give you an honest answer at the quote. See our sealing page for how it works.
Yes. The Georgian plots in town and the period and village properties out at Wick, Pensham, Pinvin and Birlingham often have loose gravel or shingle drives, and over the years they silt up, the stone scatters and weed and moss take root between it — made worse where flood run-off has dropped fine silt into the bed. We never put a high-pressure lance on loose gravel, because all that does is fire stone into your borders and the hedge. Instead we lift weed and moss out, clear the trapped silt so the gravel drains again, and re-level and top up the stone where it's needed. It's a gentler, more careful job than a block-paving clean, and we price it that way.
It's worth it, but go in with eyes open. The shaded, north-facing drives on the tighter streets and cul-de-sacs around Pershore — and any drive tucked under the canopy of a mature garden — never get enough sun to dry properly, so they hold damp and green up faster than an open, south-facing one. We can clean them back to like-new, but on a permanently damp plot a follow-up treatment isn't really optional — it's the thing that buys you a couple of clear years rather than a couple of clear months. On the worst of them we'll usually recommend the clean plus a seal as the combination that actually holds, and we'll be straight about how often it'll realistically need redoing.

Blake and Daniel cleaned my patio and path at the front and did a great job. They were friendly and professional and explained well what they were going to do. I also had a bad dark patch which came up really well which others had failed to remove. I would definitely recommend them if like me you have a patio or driveway that badly needs a thorough clean

We had excellent service from start to finish. The guys were very professional, discussed everything over the phone initially then a visit with the drone to allow accurate quarter and expectation management. On the day they were considerate with the neighbours, did a wonderful job with the roof and gutters and cleared up so well that everything looked far better than when they started. Cannot recommend more highly.
