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.

Overview
Driveway cleaning in Petts Wood BR5, explained

How it works
How driveway cleaning works in Petts Wood
Five steps, the same on every BR5 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Inter-war and post-war semis with timber stud partitions and cavity outer walls on these streets — and with 22% one-person households in Petts Wood, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us the surface and the size
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
Fixed written quote
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
Pre-treat weeds and moss
A biocide is applied to joints and shaded corners before washing, because pressure alone leaves roots behind that regrow within weeks.
Step 4
Wash at the right pressure
Hot water for tarmac and concrete; a stepped-down pressure and softer head for block paving, resin-bound and imprinted surfaces.
Step 5
Resand and reseal where needed
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
Why Petts Wood customers book us
Four things decide whether a BR5 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
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. Driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays.
Booked around your day
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. Petts Wood (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Petts Wood walls, not generic walls
We expect cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, the pattern behind 2,972 households inside the BR5 neighbourhood in BR5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Petts Wood gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Driveway cleaning prices in Petts Wood
Fixed prices for BR5 and the rest of Bromley. 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, and re-sanding or resealing is a second pass, not an add-on to the wash.
| 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
What's included in Petts Wood
The same scope across BR5, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Bromley bookings: pressure and nozzle matched to the surface — tarmac and concrete at full strength, block paving, resin and imprinted concrete stepped down, arranged with London Borough of Bromley where the kerb needs it
- Weed and moss growth in the joints treated with a biocide before washing, not just blasted off the surface — including driveway cleaning
- In Petts Wood: kiln-dried sand re-application and compaction on block paving once the surface has dried, the way it is done on Petts Wood jobs
- On BR5 jobs: sealant reapplication on resin-bound and imprinted concrete driveways where the job includes it, with 8% of homes here being flats, planned around the stair or the lift
- Standard on Bromley bookings: wastewater and detergent run-off contained and diverted away from surface water drains, not left to flow into the gutter, allowing for the 8% of BR5 homes that are privately rented and need the landlord's sign-off
- Photos of stubborn stains before and after, so you can see what has and hasn't lifted, noted on the Petts Wood job sheet so the next visit starts from it
Not included
- Replacing cracked, sunken or missing block paving units — that's a re-lay job, quoted separately by our paving team, handled by London Borough of Bromley or a specialist contractor instead
- Structural repointing of natural stone or brick driveways, which needs a mason rather than a pressure wash, which we refer on to the right trade in Petts Wood
- Removing oil that has soaked deep into porous stone over years, which may need professional poulticing rather than a surface treatment, outside the fixed price on Petts Wood bookings
- Driveways shared with an active vehicle crossover where traffic can't be paused for the duration of the clean, and we will say so before the BR5 visit rather than on the day

Petts Wood substrates run to cavity brickwork outside — and timber stud partitions inside, the pattern behind 2,972 households inside the BR5 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Petts Wood gives us a four-hole bracket with two screws in a stud and two in fresh air, a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the mistake that costs a BR5 customer twice.
A planned 1930s commuter suburb with a conservation-area shopping parade. That character decides the practical detail of driveway cleaning here far more than the borough boundary does. Petts Wood is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Driveways throughout; the parade has short timed loading bays. Nearest station is Petts Wood (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.

5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the streets near The Willett Memorial Wood, with a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood.
Will a built wardrobe fit through a Petts Wood doorway?
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in around Petts Wood (Southeastern). With 8% of Petts Wood homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 8% flats neighbourhood — and a median age of 45 in this neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Petts Wood (Southeastern), so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
What is not included in driveway cleaning in Petts Wood?

All three. With 8% of Petts Wood privately rented and 90% owner-occupied, roughly half the BR5 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Bromley bookings — and 90% owner-occupation locally, with The Willett Memorial Wood a few streets away.
How quickly can you reach Petts Wood from your Bromley round?

A BR5 slot added to an existing Bromley round usually lands the same week rather than the next for Petts Wood (BR5) addresses, with 2% social-rented stock nearby.
