With Christchurch’s unpredictable weather and constant wear from daily use, keeping your concrete driveway clean is no easy task. Even the tidiest house can lose curb appeal when the driveway looks like it’s been through a mud wrestling match. 

That’s why many give DIY cleaning a shot—armed with a hose, a broom, or maybe a rented pressure washer. But more often than not, the motivation runs out before the stains do, and the job gets left for “next weekend.”

Instead of going another season with stubborn marks and patchy results, this list rounds up Christchurch’s top driveway concrete cleaning services—companies that actually know how to bring concrete back to life.

1. Jetmaxx Water Blasting

Jetmaxx Water Blasting stood out to us while we were looking into reliable driveway concrete cleaning services around Christchurch.

We booked a low-key consultation and talked to a few people who had hired them before. Pretty quickly, it made sense why they have such a solid reputation, especially in areas where most companies struggle.

One homeowner told us Jetmaxx actually managed to get rid of those stubborn black stains covering their whole driveway. They’d already tried other companies before, but nothing worked until Jetmaxx showed up. That definitely made us pay attention.

And then we kept hearing about how fast they work, which is a lifesaver if you’ve got a tight deadline and can’t afford to wait around.

Apparently, Vik—the owner—is the kind of guy who finds a way to fix stuff when others just give up. Someone mentioned he cleared out heavy lichen on a sealed driveway in a single visit. No gimmicks, no “just wait for the rain to activate it” nonsense.

The only catch? They’re pretty booked out. So, if you’re thinking about it, just be ready to stay flexible with timing.

Excellent work, very accommodating

“Vikram did the most amazing job of our driveway and courtyards..nothing was a problem he could not of been more accommodating overall  I would certainly use his services again and no hesitation of recommending his business to others”

• Sue Sanford, Google Review

Professional and punctual

“I recently had my house washed and driveway cleaned by Jetmaxx team amd I couldn’t be happier with the results! They were professional, puntual and paid great attention to detail. Highly recommended.”

2. Metro Water Blasting

Metro Water Blasting made it to our list for their consistent, high-quality results—something that came up often in feedback from past customers.

From what we gathered, their team takes the time to assess each driveway’s condition, walks clients through the process step-by-step, and sets clear expectations about how things will look once dry.

Their team is also meticulous with surface prep and post-cleaning follow-ups—something that should be a standard in this line of work, but isn’t.

One client even shared that the team returned a week later to double-check the results and touch up a few spots on their own initiative. That level of follow-through isn’t something we see often and really highlights their attention to care.

If there’s any criticism, it’s that they don’t work on weekends, so scheduling is a little tricky if you can only see them outside of regular work hours.

Excellent cleaning and impressive results

“Roof and exterior really does look like new. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them as they have done a tremendous job of roof and exterior cleaning.”

• Shivdeep Singh, Google Review

Prompt, polite service

“The team turned up on time, very polite, and answered all questions.  I got  quotes from three different companies and this company gave the best quote.  Thanks Jay for the service.”

3. Wash Rite

What stood out about Wash Rite was how they adapt their cleaning method based on the surface—they don’t just blast everything the same way.

For driveways, they usually bring out a rotary surface cleaner with hot water and commercial-grade degreasers. This really helps with stubborn stuff like oil stains and tire marks.

One customer we heard from actually thought they’d need to make an insurance claim because of how bad the oil stains were on their white concrete. But after Wash Rite cleaned it, the claim wasn’t even necessary.

Even though we were mainly focused on driveway cleaning, we noticed they also do house washing, roof treatments, gutters, and the whole job. A few homeowners said they got everything done in one go, which saved them time.

The team was easy to work with and kept everyone informed throughout the process. They check in before starting, explain the steps, and leave the space clean and tidy.

The only thing we noticed is that their setup seems pretty standard across the board. That’s fine for most driveways, but if your place has more delicate finishes, it might be worth asking if they can adjust their approach a bit.

Well-priced driveway cleaning

“Wash Rite did a fantastic job cleaning oil stains on our driveway. They were reasonably priced and very prompt. They also communicated very well through the clean. Very happy with the results.”

• Felicity Odlin, Google Review

Outstanding and affordable driveway cleaning

“Fantastic job! It was my first time using this company and it won’t be my last. They were able to get all the oil stains off the new white driveway, so no need to involve insurance – thrilled! Well priced too, below what I expected. The other companies we have tried haven’t even come close. Thank you so much for doing such a great job and I highly recommend Wash Rite. Thanks, Pip from Prestige Property Management :)”

4. Harmony Clean

While Harmony Clean is better known for its residential and commercial cleaning services, several past customers have pointed us to their driveway cleaning service.

One of our team members actually hired them for his mid-sized residential driveway that had years of grime and light oil stains, so we were able to see the team’s performance firsthand.

When the team arrived, their professionalism stood out. Everyone we dealt with was police-vetted and clearly well-trained—not just in how to handle the equipment but also in how they communicated and walked us through the process.

They took time to explain the tools they’d be using, including a commercial-grade pressure washer with surface-friendly attachments designed to avoid etching or damaging the concrete.

Because they operate under an owner-operator model, there is a clear sense of accountability. They genuinely cared about the outcome, and that attention to detail showed throughout the entire visit.

A bonus: they offer emergency cleaning anytime, with a response time of just 60 minutes. This could be particularly helpful for last-minute clean-ups or unexpected stains.

That said, because driveway cleaning isn’t their core focus, they might not have some of the specialty gear or treatment options that dedicated exterior cleaners use for tougher, long-set stains.

Friendly, efficient service

“Tara and his team are friendly, efficient, and professional. They responded my request in a timely manner, and got the job done nicely, at a reasonable price. I will not hesitate to use their service again in future, and I highly recommend them to all.”

• K L, Google Review

Professional and detail-oriented

“Thank you for your professionalism, eye for detail & efficiency. Definitely recommend Harmony Clean’s services!”

• Tamara Lowry, Google Review

5. Rise and Shine Property Services

Although Rise and Shine Property Services is still fairly new to the area, its reputation for reliable driveway cleaning caught our attention.

Originally established in Queenstown, they expanded into Christchurch around early 2023, and we were curious to see how their services compared.

To get a better sense of their work, we scheduled an undercover consultation and asked plenty of questions about their concrete cleaning process.

Right from the start, the team came across as genuinely friendly and experienced, just as many past customers had mentioned.  Their approachable attitude, punctuality, and attention to detail made a good impression.

They walked us through their process and showed the eco-friendly pressure washing equipment they typically use on concrete driveways.

One homeowner we spoke with said their job took just two hours, and most of the oil stains were gone afterward. The results looked clean and even, which matched the photos we reviewed.

We also appreciated knowing their team is fully insured and properly vetted. That gives homeowners an extra layer of trust when inviting contractors onto their property.

That said, since they’re still relatively new to Christchurch, their availability might be a bit more limited compared to longer-established providers.

Impressive, detail-oriented

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Rise & Shine Cleaning Company on short notice, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. Despite the tight time frame, their team arrived promptly and efficiently transformed my space into spotless haven. From tackling stubborn stains to meticulously dusting every corner, their attention to detail was impeccable. I highly recommend this company to anyone in need of top-notch cleaning services, especially when time is of the essence.”

Consistently reliable service

“I’ve been using Rise & Shine cleaning service for over a year now, and I can confidently say that you never disappoint. Their attention to detail is remarkable, and their staff is always punctual and polite.”
