What It Is
Pressure washing, also called jet washing, uses a high-pressure stream of water to lift dirt, algae, moss and general build-up from hard surfaces. On the right surface it makes a big difference to how a driveway, patio or path looks.
We use it on hard-wearing surfaces such as block paving, concrete, tarmac and many types of paving slab. Softer or more delicate surfaces need a lighter touch, so we look at what you have before we agree a method. Resin driveways get a lighter-pressure method, and we do not jet wash render or roofs: those get a low-pressure softwash instead, because high pressure can damage them.
Block paving needs one more step. Jet washing lifts the dirt but also washes sand out of the joints, so a proper block paving clean includes re-sanding afterwards. See block paving driveway cleaning.
What We Pressure Wash
Driveways
Block paving, concrete and tarmac driveways. Block paving is re-sanded after the clean. See block paving and resin driveways.
Patios
Slabs and paving cleaned with the method chosen for the material. See patio cleaning.
Paths, steps and bin areas
Garden paths, front steps and bin stores, where slippery green algae and dirt build up.
Business premises
Car parks, forecourts, yards and walkways. See commercial jet washing.

How It Works
1Look at the surface
We check the material, the joints, the condition and any marks you are worried about, and agree the areas.
2Clean with the right pressure
We jet wash the agreed areas with the pressure and method chosen for the surface, then re-sand block paving where it is part of the job.
What We Check First
- Photos of the surface, and what it is made of if you know.
- Access, an outside tap where possible, and anything nearby that needs protecting.
Questions About Pressure Washing
Is pressure washing the same as jet washing?
Yes. People use both names for cleaning hard surfaces with a high-pressure stream of water.
Will pressure washing damage my driveway or patio?
Used with the right pressure on a suitable surface, it should not. We look at the material and its condition first, and use a lighter method where the surface needs it.
Do you pressure wash render or roofs?
No. High pressure can damage render and roof coverings, so we use a low-pressure softwash instead.
Why does block paving need re-sanding?
Jet washing lifts dirt but also washes sand out of the joints. Re-sanding afterwards puts it back, which is part of a proper block paving clean.
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes, we bring all our own equipment. An outside tap is helpful where there is one.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the area, the surface, its condition and the access, so we quote each job individually. Send us a few photos on WhatsApp and we will give you a clear price.
