Driveway cleaning
« on: July 02, 2010, 08:55:55 pm »
What is the best way to quote for cleaning a domestic driveway, it's imprinted concrete. I've got a pressure washer with a patio cleaning attachment?
I'm a window cleaner but have been asked by a customer to do the job. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

theres two ways to price this you can put an estimated time to do the job say if this takes half a day say 4 hrs to do its £120 or you could price per 3 mtr sq job at £10 its a trick job to put a price on

Why not sub it out? PIC driveways require chemical washing, re-activation of sealer and then re-sealing (not painting) to do it properly ;)

I get all my chemicals for this sort of work from these guys: wwww.picsuk.com

Hope this helps :)

Regards
Alan

thanks for info but will it really need resealing/painting after cleaning with just water?

Thats how i do it ;)  (also you want to replace the sealant that is in the expansion joints to stop any debris getting in them and causing cracking)

You asked ;D
