When to book power washing in Cork
| When | What to plan |
|---|---|
| March–May | Popular time to clean driveways and patios before summer. Dry weather afterwards helps re-sanding and sealing. |
| June–August | Best conditions for sealing, which needs dry surfaces. |
| September–October | Clean gutters after leaf fall and treat moss before winter. |
| November–February | Possible on dry days, but sealing is unlikely to cure properly. |
Hiring for power washing in Cork: a quick guide
Power washing or soft washing?
Power washing uses high-pressure water and suits hard surfaces like concrete, cobble-lock and paving. Soft washing uses low pressure with cleaning solutions that kill moss and algae, and is gentler on render, painted walls and roofs.
For roofs and rendered walls, ask whether the company uses a soft wash method, as high pressure can damage tiles and render. Soft wash chemicals can affect some paint colours, so a test patch is sensible.
Re-sanding and sealing
Power washing block paving lifts the jointing sand. A good job finishes with re-sanding, and optionally a sealant to slow moss and weed regrowth.
Protecting plants and drains
Ask how the company handles run-off. Cleaning chemicals should be kept away from plants, ponds and surface water drains.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does it cost to power wash a driveway in Cork?
- Typical Irish prices are €80–€120 for a small driveway, €120–€180 for a medium one and €180–€250 for a large one. Re-sanding and sealing cost extra.
- How often should a driveway be power washed?
- Every one to two years keeps most Cork driveways and patios clean, depending on shade and moss growth.
- Can power washing damage my patio?
- Too much pressure can etch soft stone or blow out joints. Experienced operators adjust pressure and use rotary surface cleaners to avoid this.
- What is soft washing?
- A low-pressure method using cleaning solutions to kill moss, algae and lichen. It is the usual choice for roofs, render and painted walls.
- Should I seal my driveway after cleaning?
- Sealing slows moss and weed growth and can make block paving easier to keep clean. It needs dry weather to cure, so summer is best.
- Do I need to be home for power washing?
- Not usually, as long as the company has access to the area and an outside tap. Move cars and garden furniture beforehand.
