Slippery paving and dark staining can make outdoor areas look neglected and feel unsafe, especially after wet weather. Our team provides professional jet washing across Orpington, from BR5 to BR6, restoring driveways, patios and paths to a fresh finish. Whether you’re near Orpington station or popping to The Walnuts Shopping Centre, we’ll schedule work to suit your day. Expect a tidy site, careful edging, and a noticeable lift in kerb appeal.
Orpington’s mix of 1930s semis, detached houses and modern estates often comes with generous front drives, side paths and rear patios that collect moss and traffic film. In areas such as Petts Wood and St Mary Cray, we regularly clean block paving, concrete and textured slabs that need the right pressure and technique. Where surfaces are older or more porous, we adjust settings to avoid etching. The aim is a clean that looks natural, not “scoured”.
We start with a quick inspection, identify staining (algae, lichen, oil), then select the safest method for the material. For delicate areas we use controlled pressure and appropriate nozzles, and we take care around drainage channels and joints. We finish with a thorough rinse and leave access safe and usable. Homeowners choose us for reliable appointments, clear pricing, and workmanship backed by our 10-year warranty.
As a Kent market town within the London Borough of Bromley, Orpington sees plenty of leaf fall and damp shaded areas that encourage moss on paving. We plan around school-run traffic and parking constraints near the High Street, and we keep water use controlled to avoid overspray onto neighbours’ cars. On sloped drives and older paving common in BR5 and BR6, we take extra care around drainage and jointing. Our approach suits everything from wide detached driveways to compact paths on 1930s semis.

Most jet washing jobs in Orpington are priced by area and surface condition. Typical rates are £2–£6 per square metre, with many homeowners paying around £100–£350 for a driveway, patio or a combination of paths and steps. Heavy algae, oil staining, awkward access, or lots of edging detail can increase time on site. We’ll confirm a sensible range after a quick look at the surface.
Most bookings take between 2 and 6 hours, depending on the size of the driveway or patio, the level of staining, and how intricate the edges are. Block paving can take longer because we work carefully to avoid disturbing joints, and we may need extra passes for algae in shaded spots. Access for hoses and water supply also affects setup time. We’ll give you a realistic timescale before we start.
Jet washing is usually classed as routine exterior maintenance, so planning permission is rarely needed for cleaning driveways, patios, walls or fencing. That said, we still work responsibly: we avoid directing runoff into inappropriate drains and keep noise and working hours considerate. If your property has specific restrictions (for example, a listed building or a managed estate), we’ll flag any considerations. We’re happy to align with any London Borough of Bromley guidance where relevant.
Yes. Our work is covered by a 10-year warranty on workmanship standards, meaning we stand behind the care we take to clean safely and correctly for the surface type. It covers issues caused by poor technique, such as avoidable surface damage from incorrect pressure or careless edging. It doesn’t cover normal re-soiling, new stains, or wear from traffic and weather. If you have any concerns after the clean, we’ll inspect and put it right where applicable.
Jet washing works well on block paving, concrete, natural stone, porcelain paving, timber decking, brick walls and many painted or treated fences (with the right settings). After cleaning, some homeowners choose to re-sand block paving joints, apply a suitable sealer, or add anti-slip treatments on shaded patios. For decking, we can advise on re-oiling or staining once fully dry. We’ll recommend the best option based on your surface, usage and budget.
