Outdoor surfaces in SE26 can quickly pick up moss and algae, especially after wet spells. Our jet washing restores grip and colour on driveways, patios and paths, making gardens and entrances look cared for again. We regularly work around Sydenham Wells Park and the lanes near Sydenham Hill Wood, where shade can accelerate green growth. If you’re in Lower Sydenham or near Bell Green, we can usually visit quickly.
Sydenham’s Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions often have older paving, brick walls and garden steps that need a careful approach. We adjust pressure and nozzles to suit block paving, natural stone, concrete and timber decking. Many properties also have narrow side access or shared paths, so we plan equipment placement to keep walkways clear. For homeowners across Forest Hill and Penge, we aim for a clean finish without mess on neighbouring boundaries.
We start with a surface check, identify stains (algae, rust, oil) and protect nearby planting before cleaning. Where needed, we pre-treat with suitable solutions, then rinse thoroughly and tidy up runoff and debris. You’ll get clear, upfront guidance on what results are realistic for your material and age of paving. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, punctual arrivals, and respectful working practices.
Working in the London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to mixed surfaces and shaded gardens near woodland edges such as Dulwich Wood. Many Sydenham streets have limited parking and short front drives, so we plan arrival times and hose runs to reduce disruption. We also account for older drainage and uneven falls common with period housing, managing water flow and protecting thresholds. If access is tight, we bring compact equipment suited to side returns and garden gates.

For jet washing Sydenham area homes, prices typically fall between £2–£6 per square metre, depending on the surface and the level of staining. Most jobs come out around £100–£350 for a driveway, patio, decking or a combination of areas. Heavy moss, oil marks, delicate stone, awkward access, or extra rinsing and clean-up can increase the cost. We’ll confirm a range after a quick site check.
Most jobs take 2–6 hours, depending on size, surface type and how ingrained the dirt is. A small patio can be completed in a couple of hours, while larger driveways with heavy algae or jointed block paving may take longer. Access, water supply location, and the need for pre-treatment also affect timings. We’ll give you a realistic timescale before starting and work efficiently to minimise disruption.
Jet washing is usually classed as maintenance, so planning permission is rarely needed for driveways, patios, walls or paths. That said, we stay mindful of local considerations such as water run-off, noise, and keeping public pavements clear. If your property is listed, in a conservation area, or you have shared access, we’ll advise on any extra care needed. We can also help you check any relevant Lewisham guidance where applicable.
Yes. Our work is backed by a 10-year warranty on workmanship where jet washing forms part of a broader landscaping installation or surface preparation we carry out. For standalone cleaning, we still guarantee care, correct pressure selection, and a thorough finish to the agreed areas. Natural re-growth of algae can occur over time due to shade and weather, but we’ll explain aftercare steps to help results last longer.
We clean a wide range of materials, including block paving, concrete, natural stone (sandstone, limestone, granite), brickwork, render, timber decking and composite decking. We also offer driveway jet washing, patio cleaning, wall cleaning, fence cleaning and path cleaning as separate or combined options. If you’re unsure what your surface is, we’ll identify it on site and recommend the safest method. We can also advise on re-sanding block paving or sealing after cleaning.
