From £120 fixed, one technician and a van-mounted hot-water pressure washer for most driveways; two on larger block-paving jobs where re-sanding is included, since brushing sand in is a second task run alongside the wash Insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
Booked mostly by owner-occupier-led households around Crayford, driveway cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 28% of Crayford's 9,135 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in DA1 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
Tarmac, block paving, resin-bound or imprinted concrete, and roughly how many square metres — that sets both the pressure setting and the price.
Step 2
Cleaning, any re-sanding or resealing and the tip fee for spent sand are shown as separate lines rather than folded into one number.
Step 3
A biocide is applied to joints and shaded corners before washing, because pressure alone leaves roots behind that regrow within weeks.
Step 4
Hot water for tarmac and concrete; a stepped-down pressure and softer head for block paving, resin-bound and imprinted surfaces.
Step 5
Kiln-dried sand is brushed and vibrated into block paving joints once dry; sealant is reapplied on resin-bound and imprinted concrete driveways that include it.
Why choose us
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — the reality on the streets around Crayford Greyhound Stadium in DA1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the pattern behind 9,135 households inside the DA1 neighbourhood.
Wastewater containing detergent or biocide is contained and directed away from surface water drains during the clean, in line with water company trade effluent guidance, rather than allowed to run off into the road gutter.
One technician and a van-mounted hot-water pressure washer for most driveways; two on larger block-paving jobs where re-sanding is included, since brushing sand in is a second task run alongside the wash. Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way.
Same-week across every borough, with the pressure and nozzle setting confirmed from your photos before the technician is booked so it isn't decided on arrival. Crayford (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a DA1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tarmac or plain concrete driveway, up to 20m² | £120 | 1–1.5 hrs | A flat, sealed surface with no joints to protect, so it's the fastest and lowest-risk driveway to hot-water wash at full pressure. |
| Block paving clean only, per m² | £4.50 | By area | Block paving has hundreds of joints per square metre; the pressure is kept low enough not to blow the jointing sand out before we've had the chance to resand it. |
| Block paving clean and re-sand with kiln-dried sand, per m² | £7.50 | By area | Kiln-dried sand has to be brushed in and vibrated down into every joint once the paving is fully dry, which is what actually stops the blocks rocking loose over winter. |
| Resin-bound driveway clean, per m² | £5.50 | By area | Resin-bound surfaces are cleaned at a lower pressure with a soft rotary head, because a standard turbo nozzle can strip aggregate out of the resin binder. |
| Pattern-imprinted concrete clean and reseal, per m² | £6.50 | By area | Imprinted concrete needs its sealant reapplied after cleaning or the colour fades and the surface starts absorbing oil and tyre marks again within a season. |
| Oil stain or moss treatment, per stain or per m² | £15 / £3 | Added to visit | Oil needs a degreaser dwell time before the hot-water wash; moss and algae need a biocide treatment first so it doesn't just regrow from the roots left in the joints. |

Scope
Hello Services provides excellent jet washing service that completely transformed my driveway , highly recommended at this price .
Sardar gave me a great spring clean and the patio clean with professional chemicals. It was fast and reliable service. Will definitely do it again!
Sardar jet washed my front and back patios. He did a great job, was on time, and communicated well. He checked that I was happy with the work and was very neat and tidy while working and afterwards.

Working in Crayford
Census 2021 puts Crayford at 9,135 households with a median age of 34.5. The mainly Victorian stock is owner-occupier-led, which is why 72% houses and 28% flats need different handling in DA1.
Private renting sits at 16% and owner-occupation at 57%; the first group books driveway cleaning at short notice, the second plans it.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment, over solid London stock brick — the reality on the streets around Crayford Greyhound Stadium behind the plaster in DA1. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body on these streets — the pattern behind 9,135 households inside the DA1 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Crayford: the Cray river, the greyhound stadium and retail parks on the Dartford border. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Crayford is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Wide roads, driveways and retail-park service access; the town centre is one-way. Nearest station is Crayford (Southeastern), and one technician and a van-mounted hot-water pressure washer for most driveways; two on larger block-paving jobs where re-sanding is included, since brushing sand in is a second task run alongside the wash.

Tarmac or plain concrete driveway, up to 20m² starts at £120 in Crayford on the streets near Crayford Greyhound Stadium — and Crayford Greyhound Stadium a few streets away, with this being a short walk from Crayford (Southeastern), and every job is quoted as a fixed written price before a fitter is booked. Surface type first, then area. Block paving and resin-bound surfaces cost more per square metre than plain concrete because the lower pressure needed takes longer to cover the same area on the Crayford rounds — and Bexley parking rules in play, with 26% social-rented stock nearby, and re-sanding or resealing is a second pass, not an add-on to the wash.
Yes — IKEA, Argos, Wayfair, Made and independent brands are all built to the manufacturer's instructions across DA1, with Bexley parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Crayford most weeks on the Crayford rounds, with 28% of homes here being flats.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Crayford (Southeastern), with 28% of homes here being flats.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in across DA1. With 28% of Crayford homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the Crayford rounds, with 72% of Crayford homes being houses — and 26% social-rented stock nearby, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Wastewater containing detergent or biocide is contained and directed away from surface water drains during the clean, in line with water company trade effluent guidance, rather than allowed to run off into the road gutter in this 28% flats neighbourhood — and this being London Borough of Bexley territory, with 16% of DA1 homes being privately rented. That paperwork is what most Bexley letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat for Crayford (DA1) addresses, with Crayford Greyhound Stadium a few streets away.
Replacing cracked, sunken or missing block paving units — that's a re-lay job, quoted separately by our paving team; Structural repointing of natural stone or brick driveways — and this being a short walk from Crayford (Southeastern), which needs a mason rather than a pressure wash; Removing oil that has soaked deep into porous stone over years in Crayford, with Crayford Greyhound Stadium a few streets away, which may need professional poulticing rather than a surface treatment; Driveways shared with an active vehicle crossover where traffic can't be paused for the duration of the clean. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Crayford DA1 price you agree is the price you pay on this side of Bexley, with 16% of DA1 homes being privately rented.
All three. With 16% of Crayford privately rented and 57% owner-occupied, roughly half the DA1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door around Crayford (Southeastern), with this being a short walk from Crayford (Southeastern).
