Lewisham · SE4 · Driveway cleaning
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Brockley fitters · Fixed written pricesBooking driveway cleaning near Hilly Fields Park? Steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights, and that is planned into the slot rather than discovered on the day. Prices start at £120 and are fixed before we travel. Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Brockley, driveway cleaning here covers supply-free fitting from £120. With 70% of Brockley's 6,905 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE4 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. Brockley (Overground) is the nearest station, so a SE4 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Brockley, often with surface conduit, and with 30% one-person households in Brockley, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site in SE4, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Brockley stock goes, where 39% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
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. Steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights.
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 Brockley
In Brockley (SE4) the split is 70% flats to 30% houses over 6,905 households, and the stock is mainly Victorian.
Because 30% of Brockley is privately rented and 31% socially rented, a lot of SE4 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Brockley substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork in Brockley, often with surface conduit, and with 30% one-person households in Brockley, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, as the Brockley stock goes, where 39% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a SE4 customer twice.
Brockley 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 — conservation-area streets of large Victorian villas and the Hilly Fields view — which is why a SE4 quote is not a Lewisham average.
Steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights. Nearest station is Brockley (Overground), 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.
