Pressure washing in London typically costs £80 to £250 for a driveway or patio, or around £3 to £6 per square metre, with larger areas and re-sanding or sealing costing more. Most domestic jobs are completed in a few hours and make an instant difference.
Patios, driveways and paths pick up a green film of algae, moss and ingrained dirt through London’s damp winters — and it makes the whole property look tired and, when wet, dangerously slippery. Professional pressure washing strips all of that away and brings the original colour back, transforming the look of your home in a single visit.
We jet wash driveways, patios, decking, paths, steps, walls and render across London, using the right pressure and nozzle for each surface so we clean effectively without damaging block paving, natural stone or timber. Where needed we re-sand block paving joints afterwards and can apply a sealer to keep surfaces cleaner for longer.

What our pressure washing covers
How it works
Block paving driveways need a little extra care: once we have jet washed out the dirt and weeds, the sand in the joints comes out too, so we brush in fresh kiln-dried sand to lock the blocks back together. Skipping this step leaves the paving loose, so we include it on block-paved jobs.
Want it to stay clean? A sealer applied after cleaning slows down moss and algae regrowth, makes future cleaning easier, and can enhance the colour of the paving or stone. We will let you know whether it is worthwhile for your surface.
