Jet Washing in Penge, SE20
In Penge (SE20) the usual instruction is walkways, bin stores and car park bays cleaned with hot water and a degreaser. Steep approaches from Crystal Palace, narrow terraced streets and permit bays. The surfaces we meet on these Bromley streets are in-situ concrete, tarmac aprons, precast stair treads and steel balustrades, each taking a different pressure.

Questions
Penge SE20 jet washing questions
A front path in SE20 starts at £95, a patio up to 35 m² runs £140–£260 and a block-paved driveway up to 45 m² runs £170–£300 with re-sanding included on this side of Bromley, with 8,101 households on this patch. Minimum charge £110. Two photos get a fixed written price the same working day on Bromley bookings.
Not when the pressure matches the material. Locally that means in-situ concrete, and the risk we guard against is surface-water drains that must be guarded before a single trigger is pulled on the Penge rounds, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood. We test a hidden metre first and drop to soft washing, under 40 bar, on render, brick and fragile stone for Penge (SE20) addresses, with Bromley parking rules in play.
Yes, and it is included. Kiln-dried sand is brushed and vibrated into the joints on the day on the streets near The Watermen's Almshouses, with 35% one-person households here, then topped up again once the surface dries. Cleaning block paving without re-sanding leaves the blocks free to move and sink for Penge (SE20) addresses.
Into our tank. Every gully gets a drain guard before we start, silt is vacuumed up and removed under our waste carrier licence on Bromley bookings — and 24% of SE20 homes being privately rented, with 60% of homes here being flats, and detergent never reaches a Bromley highway drain. That is a legal requirement, not an extra.
Steep approaches from Crystal Palace, narrow terraced streets and permit bays on this side of Bromley. London Borough of Bromley suspensions and visitor permits are arranged and paid for by us and sit inside the quoted price in Penge, with 43% owner-occupation locally. Where the only route to a back garden is through the house, we lay hose matting and wear boot covers on Bromley bookings, with The Watermen's Almshouses a few streets away.
Black spot lichen, yes — killed at the root with a biocide, fading over two to three weeks rather than on the day on Bromley bookings, with 43% owner-occupation locally. Old oil soaked into porous concrete lightens with hot water and a poultice but rarely disappears on the Penge rounds, with 33% social-rented stock nearby. We say so before you book.
Yes. Every area in Bromley has its own page on SE20 jobs, and we cross borough boundaries constantly. If your address sits on the edge of SE20, book the nearest page and we will confirm the same fixed price on the Penge rounds, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory.
