Jet Washing in Kentish Town, NW5
Jet washing in Kentish Town, NW5, in Camden: bay-fronted victorian terraces split into flats, peabody blocks and victorian villas near the heath, so the surfaces here run to in-situ concrete, tarmac aprons, precast stair treads and steel balustrades. The job booked most often is walkways, bin stores and car park bays cleaned with hot water and a degreaser, and the local failure we correct most is surface-water drains that must be guarded before a single trigger is pulled.

Questions
Kentish Town NW5 jet washing questions
A front path in NW5 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 Camden — and this being a short walk from Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink), with 7,587 households on this patch. Minimum charge £110. Two photos get a fixed written price the same working day around Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink).
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 across NW5, with 14% of Kentish Town homes being houses. We test a hidden metre first and drop to soft washing, under 40 bar, on render, brick and fragile stone on this side of Camden, with The O2 Forum Kentish Town a few streets away.
Yes, and it is included. Kiln-dried sand is brushed and vibrated into the joints on the day on Camden bookings, with The O2 Forum Kentish Town a few streets away, then topped up again once the surface dries. Cleaning block paving without re-sanding leaves the blocks free to move and sink on the streets near The O2 Forum Kentish Town.
Into our tank. Every gully gets a drain guard before we start, silt is vacuumed up and removed under our waste carrier licence for Kentish Town (NW5) addresses, with 26% owner-occupation locally — and this being a short walk from Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink), and detergent never reaches a Camden highway drain. That is a legal requirement, not an extra.
Seven-day resident bays, steep basement steps and terraces with no rear access for Kentish Town (NW5) addresses. London Borough of Camden suspensions and visitor permits are arranged and paid for by us and sit inside the quoted price in Kentish Town, with 7,587 households on this patch. Where the only route to a back garden is through the house, we lay hose matting and wear boot covers around Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink), with a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood.
Black spot lichen, yes — killed at the root with a biocide, fading over two to three weeks rather than on the day on the Kentish Town rounds, with 14% of Kentish Town homes being houses. Old oil soaked into porous concrete lightens with hot water and a poultice but rarely disappears on NW5 jobs, with Camden parking rules in play. We say so before you book.
Yes. Every area in Camden has its own page across NW5, and we cross borough boundaries constantly. If your address sits on the edge of NW5, book the nearest page and we will confirm the same fixed price around Kentish Town (Northern, Thameslink), with 49% social-rented stock nearby.
