Jet Washing in Bank and Cornhill, EC3
In Bank and Cornhill (EC3) the usual instruction is porcelain courtyard paving and the communal bin store. Bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only. The surfaces we meet on these City of London streets are porcelain and vitrified paving, composite decking, painted render and podium decks, each taking a different pressure.

About the area
Bank and Cornhill in context
Very few homes; mostly serviced apartments and top-floor flats in converted offices around The Royal Exchange, and that stock decides the method: porcelain and vitrified paving first, everything else after. The historic financial heart — Royal Exchange, Mansion House and the alleyways behind Leadenhall, so EC3 jobs reward patience over pressure.

Questions
Bank and Cornhill EC3 jet washing questions
A front path in EC3 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 in Bank and Cornhill — and 51% one-person households here, with this being City of London Corporation territory. Minimum charge £110. Two photos get a fixed written price the same working day in this 98% flats neighbourhood.
Not when the pressure matches the material. Locally that means porcelain and vitrified paving, with 48% of EC3 homes being privately rented — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, and the risk we guard against is hard-water spotting on flat porcelain if the rinse is left to dry in the sun for Bank and Cornhill (EC3) addresses. We test a hidden metre first and drop to soft washing, under 40 bar, on render, brick and fragile stone in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with this being a short walk from Bank (Central, Northern, Waterloo & City, DLR).
Yes, and it is included. Kiln-dried sand is brushed and vibrated into the joints on the day for Bank and Cornhill (EC3) addresses, with 48% of EC3 homes being privately rented, then topped up again once the surface dries. Cleaning block paving without re-sanding leaves the blocks free to move and sink on this side of City of London.
In Bank and Cornhill, into our tank. Every gully gets a drain guard before we start, silt is vacuumed up and removed under our waste carrier licence in this 98% flats neighbourhood, with 51% one-person households here — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, and detergent never reaches a City of London highway drain. That is a legal requirement, not an extra. Ask for it in writing before the EC3 visit and it is on the job sheet.
Bank junction is closed to most traffic on weekdays — early-morning or weekend access only for Bank and Cornhill (EC3) addresses. City of London Corporation suspensions and visitor permits are arranged and paid for by us and sit inside the quoted price in Bank and Cornhill, with 2% of Bank and Cornhill homes being houses. Where the only route to a back garden is through the house, we lay hose matting and wear boot covers on City of London bookings, with 15% social-rented stock nearby.
Black spot lichen, yes — killed at the root with a biocide, fading over two to three weeks rather than on the day across EC3, with 37% owner-occupation locally. Old oil soaked into porous concrete lightens with hot water and a poultice but rarely disappears on this side of City of London, with 15% social-rented stock nearby. We say so before you book.
Yes. Every area in City of London has its own page for Bank and Cornhill (EC3) addresses, with The Royal Exchange a few streets away, and we cross borough boundaries constantly. If your address sits on the edge of EC3, book the nearest page and we will confirm the same fixed price on the Bank and Cornhill rounds, with 37% owner-occupation locally.
