What it means for the job
Castletroy sits inside the CSO's built-up area of Limerick city and suburbs, so the figures here are for the electoral division it falls in, Ballysimon: every point we checked in Castletroy, Monaleen and the University of Limerick campus lands in it (CSO electoral division boundaries 2022, our lookups on 30 October 2026). Shares leave out households that didn't answer.
In the Ballysimon division, which takes in Castletroy, 57% of households had two or more cars on census night, against 34% across Limerick city and suburbs (CSO). Only 8.2% had none. That points to two-car drives, the medium band on the price guide (our reading).
Most of the houses are from the 1990s and 2000s: 70% of homes date from 1991 or later. Paving that age has had years of moss in the joints, and block paving needs the sand put back after a clean.
Across Limerick, Shannon Airport, the nearest Met Éireann station with 30-year averages, records rain on 223 days a year, and shaded paving stays damp long enough for algae to grow.

Source: HomePros.ie's 2026 Irish price guide, published 23 June 2026, checked 29 October 2026. HomePros marks the large driveway band as Dublin rates. We looked for a Limerick power washing company that publishes its own price list and didn't find one we could cite, so these are national guide prices, with a Wicklow list (VAT included) for comparison. Bark.com's Limerick average is €120. Every published price, side by side.

Yes. Requests from Castletroy, Monaleen and Annacotty go to the same company that covers Limerick. Put your estate or Eircode in the form.
Ask. HomePros.ie lists re-sanding block paving separately, at €2–€4 per m². Some companies include it.
Damp and shade. Shannon Airport records rain on 223 days a year and 9am humidity of 84% on average (Met Éireann). Paving and walls that stay wet and shaded, behind the house, under trees and on north-facing walls, grow algae fastest.
We pass your request to one local power washing company that covers Limerick. They ring you, ask about the job or look at your photos, and give you a price. Nothing is booked until you say yes. We don't name the company until they ring, and listing a company's prices here doesn't mean it's the one we pass you to.
