Overview
This page prices driveway cleaning for Richmond Hill and Ham TW10 specifically: Georgian and early Victorian stock, 15% privately rented and 2,156 households in total. Work starts at £120, fixed in writing, with parking and London Borough of Richmond upon Thames 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
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. Extremely steep hill, narrow riverside lanes at Ham and conservation-area limits.
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. Richmond (District, Overground, South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW10 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect solid London stock brick; locally that also means some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and with 15% of homes here privately rented, it sets the booking date as often as the job does in TW10, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in TW10, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — and with 30% one-person households in Richmond Hill and Ham, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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.
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. |

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.
