Services We Provide

We deliver a complete jet washing and surface cleaning service to refresh outdoor areas and improve safety underfoot:

• Patios and pathways: Pressure wash patios and paths in natural stone, porcelain, concrete and paving slabs.
• Driveways: Jet wash driveways and decking, including block paving, concrete, tarmac (low‑pressure), resin and imprinted concrete.
• Decking and timber: Careful cleaning for softwood, hardwood and composite boards; algae and moss removal to reduce slip risk.
• Walls, steps and coping: Remove grime and lichen from brick, stone and rendered surfaces where suitable.
• Garden furniture and features: Low‑pressure rinse of benches, pergolas and planters if requested.
• Algae and moss removal: Apply appropriate pre‑treatments to loosen organic growth before rinsing, and post‑treat to slow regrowth.
• Re‑sand block paving: Brush kiln‑dried sand into joints after cleaning where required.
• Sealing prep: Prepare hard surfaces for sealing by thoroughly cleaning and allowing appropriate drying time prior to any sealant application.
• Commercial surface cleaning: Forecourts, car parks, walkways, bin stores, play areas and communal grounds.
• After-storm clear-ups: Combine with storm debris clearance or green waste removal if needed.

If you need broader garden tidying along with jet washing, we can combine this service with garden maintenance, seasonal tidy-ups or patio cleaning depending on the scope.

Limitations & Specialist Requests

We’re transparent about what we can and can’t do so you can plan with confidence:

• Delicate finishes: Highly polished stone, lime-based render, heritage brickwork or painted surfaces may require very low pressure, soft‑wash or specialist treatment. We’ll advise during the survey.
• Damaged or loose areas: Broken pointing, unstable slabs, spalled concrete or loose decking fixings will limit the achievable result until repaired.
• Oil and rust staining: We can treat many stains, but some deep oil, tyre marks or rust may not fully lift. Specialist poultices may incur additional charges.
• Tarmac and asphalt: Cleaned at low pressure only to avoid damage; heavy staining may persist.
• Height work: Elevated walls or façades above safe reach may need access equipment and a separate risk assessment.
• Sealing: We can prepare surfaces for sealing; if you require application, we’ll confirm compatible products and provide a bespoke quote.
• Water and power: We can run on our own petrol machinery, but access to an outdoor tap speeds the process. Limited access may require longer hoses and setup.

If your request needs a bespoke approach, we’ll outline options and costs before proceeding.

Pricing Guide

Pressure washing prices depend on:

• Area size and layout (straight drive vs. intricate patios and steps).
• Surface type and condition (stone, concrete, block, decking, resin).
• Level of soiling and organic growth; pre‑treatments required.
• Access, parking and water availability.
• Re‑sand or sealing prep requirements.
• Frequency (one‑off deep clean vs. maintenance visits).

We commonly scope by surface cleaning price per square metre for straightforward areas, with fixed items for extras like re‑sand. For exact costs, please see our pricing page or request a tailored quote via get a quote.

Local Service In North London

We understand the realities of working on homes, flats and commercial premises in North London:

• Access: Narrow side passages, basement steps and communal entrances are common; we carry long hoses and plan setups to reach safely.
• Parking: Permit or timed bays may apply across N. We’ll discuss any arrangements to keep disruption low.
• Mixed surfaces: Properties often blend stone patios, block-paved drives and timber or composite decking. We adjust pressure and techniques accordingly.
• Drainage: We’ll ask about surface run‑off and nearby planting. Where possible we protect lawns and beds from debris.
• Multi‑unit sites: For shared gardens and car parks, we coordinate with managing agents and residents to schedule works and temporarily block access to jet wash driveways and decking safely.

Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, facilities manager or part of a residents’ association, we can schedule regular cleans to keep entrances and walkways safe and presentable in North London.

FAQs

• Do you cover my area?

  • Yes. We serve customers across Croydon and the wider CR region, with regular appointments in North London and across N postcodes.

• What preparation should I do before you arrive?

  • Please move vehicles, pots and small furniture from the area to be cleaned, and keep pets and children away from the work zone. We can help relocate heavier items if arranged in advance.

• Can you remove oil, paint or rust stains?

  • Many stains improve significantly with targeted treatments, but some deep‑set marks may not fully disappear. We’ll assess and advise on likely results before we start.

• Is pressure washing safe for all surfaces?

  • Not all. We adapt techniques and sometimes use low‑pressure or soft‑wash methods for delicate materials. If a surface is unsuitable, we’ll explain alternatives.

• Do you re‑sand block paving after cleaning?

  • Yes, if requested. Once the surface dries sufficiently, we brush kiln‑dried sand into the joints to help stabilise the blocks.

• How long before I can walk or park on cleaned areas?

  • Light foot traffic is usually fine once the surface is visibly dry. For vehicles, we recommend allowing additional drying time; we’ll advise on the day based on conditions.

• Can you prepare surfaces for sealing?

  • Yes. We clean thoroughly and advise on drying times to prepare hard surfaces for sealing. If you’d like us to apply the sealant, we can quote for that separately subject to compatibility.

• Do you provide photos of the results?

  • On request, we can supply before and after pressure washing photos for your records, property listings or facilities reporting.
