Outdoor surfaces in SE23 take a battering from traffic, leaf fall and damp shade, especially around Forest Hill station and the streets near the Horniman Museum. Our jet washing removes built-up dirt, algae and black spotting from paving and hardstanding. It’s ideal for refreshing patios before entertaining and for improving grip on paths and steps. You’ll see a clear difference without the mess of DIY hire machines.
Forest Hill has plenty of Victorian and Edwardian houses, plus period conversions with shared entrances and compact front gardens. That often means narrow side access, delicate pointing, and a mix of surfaces such as brick, stone flags and patterned concrete. We tailor pressure, nozzle choice and detergents to suit each material and its condition. If you’re near Honor Oak, Sydenham or Dulwich, we’re close by and can schedule quickly.
We start with a site check, protect borders and drains, then pre-treat algae and lichen where needed. Next we clean using controlled pressure and surface cleaners to avoid striping, followed by a thorough rinse and tidy-up. We can also advise on re-sanding block paving joints and optional sealing for longer-lasting results. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, careful workmanship and clear, written recommendations.
Working across the London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to damp, shaded gardens and leaf litter from mature street trees, which can accelerate algae growth. Many Forest Hill properties have limited parking and shared access, so we plan equipment placement and water use to minimise disruption. We also adapt to mixed surfaces common in period homes, from brick paths to older concrete drives. For the jet washing Forest Hill area, our team is typically on-site within 20 minutes from Norbury.

For jet washing in Forest Hill, prices typically fall between £2 and £6 per square metre, depending on the surface and how soiled it is. Most homeowners pay around £100–£350 for a standard patio, driveway or a combination of smaller areas. Heavy algae, oil staining, intricate paving patterns, or requests such as re-sanding block paving joints can increase the overall cost.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on the size of the area and the level of staining. A small path or front step can be done quickly, while a larger driveway plus patio will take longer. Access in period conversions, water supply location, drainage considerations, and the need for pre-treatment to loosen algae or lichen can all affect timings. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule before starting.
Jet washing is usually permitted for driveways, patios and garden paths, and it doesn’t normally require planning permission. The main considerations are practical: managing runoff, keeping public pavements safe, and avoiding nuisance to neighbours. If your property has specific restrictions (for example, a listed building or shared access arrangements), we’ll flag any extra care needed. We also work responsibly with water use and drainage.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, covering the quality of our service and the standard of finish we deliver when the surface is suitable for cleaning. It doesn’t cover future staining from new spills, wear and tear, or regrowth caused by ongoing shade and damp conditions, but we’ll advise on maintenance to slow it down. If you have any concerns after the job, we’ll put them right promptly.
We clean most common outdoor surfaces, including block paving, concrete, natural stone, porcelain patio slabs, brick paths, timber decking, walls and fences. Options include targeted stain treatment, gentle low-pressure cleaning for delicate pointing, and re-sanding for block paving joints. We can also discuss sealing where appropriate to help resist future staining. We’ll recommend the safest approach based on your material, age and condition.
