A front path in BR2 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 — and 48% of Shortlands and Hayes homes being houses, with 3,676 households on this patch. Minimum charge £110. Two photos get a fixed written price the same working day around Shortlands (Southeastern).
Not when the pressure matches the material. Locally that means original tessellated tile, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory, and the risk we guard against is encaustic tiles bedded in lime mortar in Shortlands and Hayes — and 48% of Shortlands and Hayes homes being houses, which a turbo nozzle will destroy in seconds. We test a hidden metre first and drop to soft washing, under 40 bar, on render, brick and fragile stone on Bromley bookings, with 33% one-person households here.
Yes, and it is included. Kiln-dried sand is brushed and vibrated into the joints on the day on the Shortlands and Hayes rounds, with 52% of homes here being flats, then topped up again once the surface dries. Cleaning block paving without re-sanding leaves the blocks free to move and sink on BR2 jobs.
Into our tank. Every gully gets a drain guard before we start, silt is vacuumed up and removed under our waste carrier licence on the Shortlands and Hayes rounds, with 7% social-rented stock nearby — and 48% of Shortlands and Hayes homes being houses, and detergent never reaches a Bromley highway drain. That is a legal requirement, not an extra.
Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak across BR2. London Borough of Bromley suspensions and visitor permits are arranged and paid for by us and sit inside the quoted price on the Shortlands and Hayes rounds, with a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood. Where the only route to a back garden is through the house, we lay hose matting and wear boot covers for Shortlands and Hayes (BR2) addresses, with Hayes Common 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 for Shortlands and Hayes (BR2) addresses, with 3,676 households on this patch. Old oil soaked into porous concrete lightens with hot water and a poultice but rarely disappears in Shortlands and Hayes, with a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood. We say so before you book.
Yes. Every area in Bromley has its own page on the streets near Hayes Common, and we cross borough boundaries constantly. If your address sits on the edge of BR2, book the nearest page and we will confirm the same fixed price on Bromley bookings, with this being a short walk from Shortlands (Southeastern).
