Outdoor surfaces in Coulsdon take a beating from leaf litter, shade and damp conditions near Farthing Downs and Happy Valley. Our jet washing removes slippery algae, ingrained dirt and traffic film from patios, paths and driveways. We clean block paving, tarmac, concrete and natural stone with the right pressure and no harsh shortcuts. If you’re in CR5, we can usually visit quickly and work around your day.
Coulsdon’s mix of large detached houses, well-kept 1930s properties and newer developments often comes with bigger driveways, stepped paths and multiple patio zones. In Old Coulsdon and Chipstead Valley, we regularly see block paving that needs careful joint protection and re-sanding after cleaning. Modern porcelain patios and composite decking also need a gentler approach to avoid etching or striping. We tailor the method to the surface so it looks refreshed, not “overblasted”.
We start with a quick site check, then pre-treat heavy growth where needed and use controlled pressure with appropriate nozzles. Edges, drains and thresholds are protected, and we rinse down thoroughly to leave the area tidy. Homeowners choose us for consistent results, clear communication and reliable arrival times from our Norbury base (around 20 minutes away). Every job is finished with practical aftercare advice to keep surfaces cleaner for longer.
The semi-rural setting around Coulsdon Common means more moss and organic staining, especially on shaded north-facing paving. We plan water use and run-off carefully, keeping gullies clear and avoiding mess on neighbouring plots. Access can vary from long drives to tight side passages in Hooley, so we bring hose lengths and surface protection to suit. If any local restrictions apply, we’ll flag them before starting.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
For jet washing in the Coulsdon area, pricing is usually based on size, surface type and how heavily soiled it is. As a guide, expect around £2–£6 per square metre, with most homeowners paying roughly £100–£350 for typical driveway or patio cleaning. Costs can rise for thick algae, oil staining, multiple areas (paths plus walls), or if block paving needs re-sanding after washing.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on the total area, access to an outdoor tap, and how much build-up has formed. A small patio can be done in a couple of hours, while larger driveways common in CR5 may take most of a day. Weather also matters: cold or damp conditions can slow drying, especially if re-sanding is planned for block paving.
In most cases, jet washing a driveway, patio, wall or fence is routine maintenance and doesn’t need planning permission. The main consideration is responsible water run-off and avoiding contamination entering surface drains. We work with controlled rinsing and sensible containment where needed. If your property has specific restrictions (for example, listed status or special site rules), we’ll ask upfront and adapt the method accordingly.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty, covering issues caused by our installation or service standards where applicable (for example, avoidable surface damage from incorrect technique). Jet washing results can vary with weather, shade and ongoing organic growth, so we’re clear about realistic expectations. If you spot any concerns after we’ve finished, we’ll arrange a prompt revisit to assess and put things right.
After cleaning, many homeowners choose optional add-ons depending on the surface. For block paving, re-sanding the joints is popular to stabilise the blocks and improve the finish. For some patios and driveways, a suitable sealant can help reduce staining and slow algae return. We’ll advise on what’s appropriate for natural stone, concrete, tarmac, porcelain and decking, based on condition, slip risk and how you use the space.
