The service, in plain English

Jet washing,
done properly —
end to end.

No jargon, no upsell. Just what you're actually buying, when it's worth doing, and why a professional makes the difference.

What it is

Professional jet washing of driveways, patios, paths and concrete with controlled, even-pressure equipment and a rotary surface cleaner where appropriate — eliminating the 'zebra-stripe' lap marks that DIY washing leaves behind.

Who it's for

Homeowners across Fareham, Gosport, Stubbington, Portchester, Whiteley, Paulsgrove, Cosham, Havant and Leigh Park whose block paving, sandstone, slabs or concrete has gone dark, mossy or greasy.

When you need it

Spring is the most popular slot — back garden ready for summer. Autumn is the second peak — moss removal before it gets slippery. Pre-sale and post-build cleans run all year.

Why professional matters

Done right, jet washing transforms a tired-looking property in a single visit. Done wrong, it pits the surface, blows the jointing sand out, and looks worse than before. The difference is the equipment, the technique, and pairing it with softwashing where biology is the real cause.

What happens if you leave it

Small problem now.
Expensive problem later.

Zebra-striped DIY washing

A consumer pressure washer leaves visible lap marks (the 'zebra stripe' effect) because hand-held lance speed is inconsistent. A rotary surface cleaner removes this entirely.

Slippery winter paving

Moss and algae on paving are an autumn/winter slip hazard. Insurers and visiting tradesmen notice. So do guests on the path to your front door.

Blown-out joints

The wrong pressure and angle blast jointing sand straight out of block paving — accelerating weed growth, settlement and unevenness.

Re-greening within months

Pressure-washing alone doesn't kill the biological cause. The black/green staining returns within a season. Pair with softwashing for a result that actually lasts.

How the job runs

A clear, repeatable
5-step process.

  1. 01

    In-person site visit

    Jet washing quotes are visited in person — surface type, drainage, area and joint condition all matter. Quote sent same-day where possible.

  2. 02

    Surface test

    A small test panel cleaned first to confirm pressure, distance and approach for your specific surface — no guesswork.

  3. 03

    Controlled clean

    Rotary surface cleaner where appropriate for even, lap-free coverage on driveways and patios. Detail lance for edges, drains, steps and risers.

  4. 04

    Final inspection

    Walk-around once the surface has begun to dry to confirm coverage and consistency. Any missed area corrected on the visit.

  5. 05

    Tidy + sign-off

    All slurry and run-off cleared from paths and gates. Invoice sent — pay by card, bank transfer, GoCardless or cash.

What you actually get

Concrete outcomes.
No fluffy promises.

Even, lap-free finish

Rotary surface cleaning removes the zebra-stripe pattern entirely — driveways and patios come back consistent across the whole area.

Right pressure for the surface

Block paving, sandstone, slate, slabs and concrete all need different settings. Tested on your surface before the full clean starts.

Better paired with softwash

Where biology is the real cause, softwashing is recommended alongside — the result lasts years rather than months. Quoted together for a clear price.

Boundaries & drains protected

Run-off is managed so slurry doesn't end up in your borders, your neighbour's drive or down the road drain.

Photographable result

The kind of finish that looks good on estate-agent photos and from upstairs windows — not just at ground level on the day.

Insurance-backed

Fully covered under £1,000,000 public liability with Simply Business, including incidental damage during the clean.

Method, materials & detail

The proper standard —
explained.

Jet washing is the easiest job to do badly. The difference between a transformation and a disappointment is equipment selection, pressure control, and knowing when softwashing should be doing some of the work instead.

Rotary surface cleaning

Driveways and patios are cleaned with a rotary surface cleaner where appropriate — twin jets spinning at constant speed under a shroud, giving a consistent overlap pattern. This is what eliminates the zebra-stripe look hand-held lances leave behind.

Detail lance work

Edges, kerbs, steps, drain rims, brick risers, garden walls and steps are detailed with a lance after the main surface clean. Without this, the 'finished' area still reads as patchy from above.

Surface-specific approach

Block paving, Indian sandstone, slate, concrete, imprinted concrete and limestone all behave differently under pressure. A test panel is run first to confirm the right setting on your specific surface.

When to add softwashing

Where the staining is biological (green/black algae and moss), pressure washing alone is a short-term fix. Adding a low-pressure biocide treatment afterwards kills the organism and extends the result by years. Quoted as an optional add-on.

Re-sanding excluded

Re-sanding of block-paving joints is intentionally not included in the service. Where re-sanding is needed, it's flagged on the quote so you can arrange a specialist separately.

Residential vs commercial

Residential pricing starts at £5/m² with an £80 minimum job value. Commercial work (forecourts, yards, car parks) is quoted bespoke with RAMS and method statements as standard.
