Outdoor surfaces in SE6 take a beating from traffic film, moss and London weather. Our jet washing brings patios, paths and driveways back to a crisp finish, ideal before viewings or summer use. We regularly work around Catford Broadway and near Mountsfield Park, so we understand the mix of busy frontages and quieter garden spaces. Expect careful cleaning that improves grip and appearance without unnecessary disruption.
Catford homes range from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis and ex-council properties, each with different paving and drainage quirks. Block paving often needs a gentler approach to protect jointing, while older concrete can show staining that benefits from targeted pre-treatment. For rear gardens in Hither Green or Grove Park, access can be tight, so we plan hose runs and equipment placement to keep things tidy. We tailor pressure and nozzle choice to the surface rather than using a one-setting blast.
We start with an inspection, clear loose debris, then apply the right pressure and cleaning method for the material. Edges, steps and joints get extra attention, and we rinse thoroughly to avoid residue. If needed, we can recommend re-sanding for block paving and aftercare tips to slow algae return. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, respectful workmanship, and results that look professionally finished.
In the jet washing Catford area, we often see shaded gardens and tree debris that encourage moss growth. Many streets around SE6 have limited parking, so we plan arrival times and equipment setup to minimise obstruction. Older paving and mixed repairs are common, especially on Victorian front paths, so we adjust pressure to avoid loosening joints. We also work with sensible water control to keep runoff away from doorways and drains.

Most jobs in Catford are priced by area and surface type, typically £2–£6 per square metre. As a guide, smaller patios or front paths often fall around £100–£180, while larger driveways and combined areas commonly land between £200–£350. Costs vary with staining (oil, rust, algae), access, and whether block paving needs re-sanding afterwards. We’ll confirm a clear range after a quick site check.
Jet washing usually takes 2–6 hours, depending on the size of the area and the level of build-up. A straightforward patio clean may be completed in a couple of hours, while a driveway with heavy tyre marks, mossy joints, or multiple surfaces (patio plus paths) can take most of a day. Access, water supply location, and any pre-treatment dwell time also affect the schedule.
In most cases, jet washing is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission, as it’s maintenance rather than a structural change. The main considerations are practical: keeping runoff under control, avoiding nuisance to neighbours, and not allowing contaminated water to enter surface drains. If your property has special restrictions (for example, conservation considerations or communal areas), we’ll flag them and adapt our method accordingly before starting.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty where applicable to the wider landscaping work we carry out, and we stand by the quality of our cleaning results. For jet washing, the warranty covers our workmanship standards and any issues caused by incorrect technique, not natural re-soiling from weather, shade, or heavy use. We’ll also give aftercare guidance to help keep surfaces cleaner for longer.
We clean a wide range of surfaces: block paving, concrete, natural stone patios, porcelain, decking, brick walls, fences and garden paths. Options after cleaning can include re-sanding block paving joints, applying a suitable sealant (where appropriate), or adding anti-slip considerations for steps and shaded areas. We’ll help you choose based on your surface material, drainage, and how the space is used day to day.
