Ealing · W5 · Driveway cleaning
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Ealing fitters · Fixed written pricesEaling W5 is a regular stop on our Ealing round. The Queen of the Suburbs — Walpole Park, the studios and a busy Broadway, so driveway cleaning here is quoted on the street the job is on — from £120, in writing, with insured fitters, every fixing torqued, and the flat-pack packaging taken away.
Overview
This page prices driveway cleaning for Ealing W5 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 41% privately rented and 18,588 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Ealing permit rules costed before an insured fitter travels.
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 dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in W5, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around Ealing Studios and Walpole Park in W5, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in W5, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — the pattern behind 18,588 households inside the W5 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. Broadway loading windows, permit bays on the villa streets and booked lifts in new blocks.
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. Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District) is the nearest station, so a W5 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 Ealing
Walk Ealing from Ealing Studios and Walpole Park outwards and the mainly Victorian pattern is obvious: 63% of the 18,588 households in W5 live in flats, 37% in houses.
41% of households rent privately and 45% own, which is why driveway cleaning demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in W5, with metal stud partitions between rooms — the reality on the streets around Ealing Studios and Walpole Park behind the plaster in W5. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why in W5, short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs — the pattern behind 18,588 households inside the W5 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
Two streets can behave very differently in Ealing: the Queen of the Suburbs — Walpole Park, the studios and a busy Broadway. The quote reflects the street the job is actually on. Ealing is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: broadway loading windows, permit bays on the villa streets and booked lifts in new blocks. Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District) is the nearest station, 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 Ealing on Ealing bookings, with this being a short walk from Ealing Broadway (Elizabeth line, Central, District), 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 for Ealing (W5) addresses — and 45% owner-occupation locally, with Ealing Studios and Walpole Park a few streets away, and re-sanding or resealing is a second pass, not an add-on to the wash.

We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Ealing most weeks on the Ealing rounds, with Ealing Studios and Walpole Park a few streets away.
