Restoring Exterior Stone, Brick & Timber Paving
Ireland's damp, humid climate encourages rampant growth of moss, green algae (*Pleurococcus*), and black lichen spots (*Verrucaria*) across residential driveways, patios, and timber decking. Beyond looking neglected, wet moss transforms garden paths and steps into dangerously slippery hazard zones for family members.
GeneralCleaning.ie uses industrial diesel-powered pressure systems equipped with 20-inch rotary flat-surface cleaners. Unlike standard DIY jet washers that gouge lines into stone and blast sand out of joints, our rotary machines deliver even, controlled cleaning pressure with zero surface scarring.
Exterior Surfaces We Treat
- Block Paving & Cobblelock: Deep moss extraction from joints, followed by kiln-dried silica re-sanding to stabilize block alignment.
- Indian Sandstone & Natural Granite: Low-pressure chemical soft washing dissolving stubborn black lichen dots without delaminating delicate stone layers.
- Concrete & Tarmac Driveways: Rotary scrubbing lifting oil drips and surface grime without loosening asphalt aggregate.
- Timber & Composite Decking: Gentle variable-pressure washing that removes slippery green slime without splintering timber grain.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. We never use excessive pressure on delicate natural sandstone. We apply gentle bio-wash detergents that dissolve lichen, followed by a wide-fan rinse that preserves the stone's integrity.
Yes. Once the paving is fully dry, we sweep clean, weed-free kiln-dried sand back into joint channels to lock blocks in place and deter weed growth.
Yes, standard domestic garden taps provide sufficient water volume for our high-pressure systems.
"Brian and his crew did an end-of-tenancy clean on our 3-bed home in Rathfarnham before the new tenants moved in. The ovens looked like new, the bathroom lime was 100% eliminated, and the landlord signed off our deposit immediately. Exceptional family work!"
"We hired GeneralCleaning.ie for a pre-sale open house clean in Terenure. They arrived on time, worked tirelessly for 6 hours, detailed every window sill, skirtings, and carpets. The estate agent commented on how fresh the house felt. Sold well over asking price!"
