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. Narrow village streets with permit bays and flood-zone riverside access.
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. St Margarets (South Western) is the nearest station, so a TW1 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect some of it dry-lined during a later refurbishment — and solid London stock brick — a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here in TW1, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is in TW1, fixings landing in soft lime mortar joints instead of the brick body — which is why London Borough of Richmond upon Thames kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded.
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. |

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.

Tarmac or plain concrete driveway, up to 20m² starts at £120 in St Margarets across TW1, with 66% owner-occupation locally — and 27% one-person households here, 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 for St Margarets (TW1) addresses, with this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory — and 56% of St Margarets homes being houses, 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 TW1 jobs, with Richmond upon Thames parking rules in play. We are independent of every retailer; the names simply describe what we assemble in St Margarets most weeks on the streets near Marble Hill House, with 43% of homes here being flats.
5–2 hours. Sliding-door and corner wardrobes take two to four times as long because the tracks have to be dead level for St Margarets (TW1) addresses, with 56% of St Margarets homes being houses.
That is exactly why we build in the room it will live in on the streets near Marble Hill House. With 43% of St Margarets homes being flats, narrow hallways and tight turns are the norm across TW1, with 27% one-person households here — and 66% owner-occupation locally, so anything that will not pass a doorway once assembled is built where it stands.
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 in St Margarets — and 56% of St Margarets homes being houses, with Marble Hill House a few streets away. That paperwork is what most Richmond upon Thames letting agents and managing agents ask for before work starts in a leasehold flat around St Margarets (South Western), with 56% of St Margarets homes being houses.
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 43% 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 Richmond upon Thames bookings — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, 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 St Margarets TW1 price you agree is the price you pay on the St Margarets rounds, with this being London Borough of Richmond upon Thames territory.
All three. With 29% of St Margarets privately rented and 66% owner-occupied, roughly half the TW1 diary is agent- or landlord-instructed and invoiced separately from the person at the door on TW1 jobs — and 56% of St Margarets homes being houses, with this being a short walk from St Margarets (South Western).
