Overview
This page prices driveway cleaning for Lewisham SE13 specifically: mainly Victorian stock, 33% privately rented and 3,987 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Lewisham 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 often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Lewisham Market on the High Street in SE13, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in SE13, drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it — the pattern behind 3,987 households inside the SE13 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. Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers.
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. Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE13 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.

Lewisham substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — the reality on the streets around Lewisham Market on the High Street.

On access, roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers — one reason 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 Lewisham on Lewisham bookings, with 75% of homes here being flats — and Lewisham parking rules in play, 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 on this side of Lewisham — and Lewisham Market on the High Street a few streets away, with 36% one-person households here, 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 Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern), with 25% of Lewisham homes being houses. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in Lewisham most weeks, with Lewisham parking rules in play.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level on the Lewisham rounds, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.

With 75% of Lewisham homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm on this side of Lewisham, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood — and 36% one-person households here, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
All three. With 33% of Lewisham privately rented and 32% owner-occupied, roughly half the SE13 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on Lewisham bookings — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, with 35% social-rented stock nearby.
Lewisham Market on the High Street is the marker we route to across SE13, with 25% of Lewisham homes being houses, and roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers. A SE13 slot added to an existing Lewisham round usually lands the same week rather than the next on this side of Lewisham, with Lewisham Market on the High Street a few streets away.
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 SE13 jobs, with this being a short walk from Lewisham (DLR, Southeastern).
