Greenwich · SE10 · Driveway cleaning
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Greenwich fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide driveway cleaning in Greenwich SE10 for houses and flats around The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark. From £120, quoted in writing before the visit, with 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 Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Cutty Sark, driveway cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 73% of Greenwich's 17,397 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE10 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
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. Cutty Sark (DLR) is the nearest station, so a SE10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE10, with metal stud partitions between rooms, with 29% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Greenwich stock goes, and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does.
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. Cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access.
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 Greenwich
Greenwich SE10 is Georgian and early Victorian and mixed-tenure: 73% of homes here are flats and 27% are houses, across 17,397 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 31% of Greenwich is privately rented and 29% socially rented, a lot of SE10 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork in SE10, with metal stud partitions between rooms, with 29% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first behind the plaster in SE10. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, as the Greenwich stock goes, and with 31% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does is the fault we are called back to undo.
Greenwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — world Heritage centre of the market, the Cutty Sark and the Observatory on the hill — which is why a SE10 quote is not a Greenwich average.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. Cutty Sark (DLR) 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 Greenwich on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, with Greenwich parking rules in play — and this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR), 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 in Greenwich, with 17,397 households on this patch — and 40% owner-occupation locally, 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 around Cutty Sark (DLR), with 17,397 households on this patch. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Greenwich most weeks on SE10 jobs, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level across SE10, with 31% of SE10 homes being privately rented.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Greenwich bookings. With 73% of Greenwich homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm in this 73% flats neighbourhood — and this being a short walk from Cutty Sark (DLR), with 27% of Greenwich homes being houses, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark is the marker we route to on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, with 17,397 households on this patch, and cobbled one-way lanes, market-day closures and listed frontages with no rear access. A SE10 slot added to an existing Greenwich round usually lands the same week rather than the next across SE10, with 32% one-person households here.
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 on the streets near The Royal Observatory and the Cutty Sark, with a median age of 33 in this neighbourhood.
