London driveway cleaning · North London
We work in Harrow every week — quiet outer-london suburbia around harrow on the hill, with one of the most diverse populations in the country. Driveway cleaning is priced against that reality, not a national average.
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. |

Domestic prices are the total you pay; landlord, letting agent and managing agent invoices are plus VAT at 20%. Sweeping up loose debris, bagging spent sand and a rinse-down of adjoining paths disturbed by the work are included. Where a parking permit or bay suspension is needed to run hoses from the van it is itemised in the written quote.
Working in Harrow
Harrow is built from interwar semis and detached houses with driveways, plus 1960s flats around harrow town centre, and the mix changes street by street — Burnt Oak (HA8), Edgware (HA8) and Harrow (HA1) each behave differently on the day.
London Borough of Harrow sets the constraint: driveway parking is the norm; the hill roads are narrow and harrow town centre has controlled bays and a one-way system. Locally that means wide estate roads with parking; the a5 shopping stretch has short loading windows and driveways common; the a5 and station gyratory are busy with short bays. Harrow sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so only ULEZ applies to the van and the quote is that much simpler.
Block paving and resin-bound driveways in front gardens across Harrow usually fall outside planning control because they were laid before, or under, the permeable-surfacing exemption — but London Borough of Harrow can still ask for proof the surface drains freely if a neighbour reports standing water running onto the pavement. We check the fall and the joint condition before we clean rather than after a complaint.
Harrow took its present shape because a hilltop village with a 900-year-old church, wrapped in interwar semis once the metropolitan line pushed through.
Scope
Method
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.

Tarmac or plain concrete driveway, up to 20m² starts at £120 in Harrow, and the ladder runs up to £15 / £3 for the largest job on the table above. 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. The borough is outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on — only ULEZ, which our vans are compliant with.
We cover the whole borough: HA0, HA1, HA2, HA3, HA5, HA6, HA7 and HA8. On the ground that includes Burnt Oak, Edgware, Harrow, Kenton, North Harrow and Rayners Lane and Northwood.
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. North London is covered by crews already working in the borough, so travel time is not billed on top.
Driveway parking is the norm; the hill roads are narrow and Harrow town centre has controlled bays and a one-way system. Where a permit or a bay suspension is needed we arrange it with London Borough of Harrow and show the cost in the quote before you agree it. Nothing is added afterwards.
Yes. Interwar semis and detached houses with driveways, plus 1960s flats around Harrow town centre is exactly the stock we work in daily. Where there is no lift, the crew size is set by the floor level at quote stage, so a third-floor walk-up is priced as a third-floor walk-up rather than re-quoted on the doorstep.
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. Certificates go out with the booking confirmation, which is what London Borough of Harrow tenancies and most local managing agents ask for.
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. Vehicles are ULEZ-compliant, which matters in every Harrow postcode, and the crew carries everything needed to complete the job in one visit.
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, which needs a mason rather than a pressure wash and Removing oil that has soaked deep into porous stone over years, which may need professional poulticing rather than a surface treatment. If something on that list turns up in Harrow, we tell you at survey and point you at the right trade rather than taking the booking anyway.

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.
