Your driveway is one of the most used — and most overlooked — parts of your property. In Christchurch, where wet winters, tree debris, and everyday use combine, driveways quickly become slippery, stained, and unsightly. Whether it’s grime buildup, moss patches, or tyre marks, a dirty driveway can drag down your whole property’s appearance.
At Metro Water Blasting, we provide professional driveway cleaning services across Christchurch, helping homeowners remove years of wear and tear with safe, high-pressure washing.

Christchurch Suburbs Where Driveways Get Hit Hard
Cashmere & Hillsborough
Steep driveways on the Port Hills often become slippery with moss, especially on older concrete.
Fendalton, Merivale & St Albans
Leafy streets mean constant grime buildup on pavers and textured finishes.
Wigram, Halswell & Hornby
Newer homes often have light-coloured driveways that show tyre marks and oil stains.
Sumner, Southshore & Redcliffs
Coastal homes deal with salt spray and sand, which dull and stain driveways quickly.
Ilam & Riccarton
Rental properties and flats experience high foot and vehicle traffic, causing fast surface deterioration.
