Overview
Booked mostly by mixed-tenure households around Kidbrooke, driveway cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 44% of Kidbrooke's 7,629 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE3 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. Kidbrooke (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE3 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Kidbrooke (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map in SE3, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Kidbrooke gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
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. Managed estate with loading bays and lift booking; wide new roads elsewhere.
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 Kidbrooke
Kidbrooke SE3 is post-war and mixed-tenure: 44% of homes here are flats and 56% are houses, across 7,629 households (ONS Census 2021).
Because 22% of Kidbrooke is privately rented and 25% socially rented, a lot of SE3 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick, measured on the walk in from Kidbrooke (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map behind the plaster in SE3. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why Kidbrooke gives us fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body, a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Kidbrooke 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 — kidbrooke Village — the rebuilt Ferrier estate — beside Sutcliffe Park — which is why a SE3 quote is not a Greenwich average.
Managed estate with loading bays and lift booking; wide new roads elsewhere. Nearest station is Kidbrooke (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 Kidbrooke on the Kidbrooke rounds, with 53% owner-occupation locally — and Sutcliffe Park a few streets away, 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 around Kidbrooke (Southeastern), with 56% of Kidbrooke homes being houses — and Greenwich parking rules in play, 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 on this side of Greenwich, with 44% of homes here being flats. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Kidbrooke most weeks on the streets near Sutcliffe Park, with this being a short walk from Kidbrooke (Southeastern).
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level around Kidbrooke (Southeastern), with 22% of SE3 homes being privately rented.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on Greenwich bookings. With 44% of Kidbrooke homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on the streets near Sutcliffe Park, with Sutcliffe Park a few streets away — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
Managed estate with loading bays and lift booking; wide new roads elsewhere on the Kidbrooke rounds. Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in Royal Borough of Greenwich it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards on SE3 jobs — and 25% social-rented stock nearby, with 7,629 households on this patch.
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 on SE3 jobs — and 22% of SE3 homes being privately rented, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood. That paperwork is what most Greenwich letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat on this side of Greenwich, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
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, with 44% of homes here being flats, which needs a mason rather than a pressure wash; Removing oil that has soaked deep into porous stone over years on the Kidbrooke rounds — and 22% of SE3 homes being privately rented, 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 Kidbrooke SE3 price you agree is the price you pay on SE3 jobs, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
