Jet Washing in South Croydon, CR2
Jet washing in South Croydon, CR2, in Croydon: edwardian villas in flats, 1930s semis and detached houses with drives, so the surfaces here run to original tessellated tile, York stone flags, London stock brick and lime-pointed walls. The job booked most often is front path, steps and the tiled threshold, with a soft wash on the boundary wall, and the local failure we correct most is encaustic tiles bedded in lime mortar, which a turbo nozzle will destroy in seconds.

Edges and thresholds by hand
The machine does the middle; a technician does the border, steps and gully surrounds on CR2 jobs.
Permits, ULEZ and parking included
London Borough of Croydon suspensions are arranged and paid for by us for South Croydon (CR2) addresses, with Croham Hurst woods a few streets away, so charging zones never reach your invoice.
Pressure set from a test metre
In South Croydon, we work to the weakest material on site, because encaustic tiles bedded in lime mortar on Croydon bookings, with 10% social-rented stock nearby, which a turbo nozzle will destroy in seconds is what a rushed job leaves behind. Ask for it in writing before the CR2 visit and it is on the job sheet.
Re-sanding included, never an add-on
Kiln-dried sand brushed and vibrated in on the day for South Croydon (CR2) addresses, with this being a short walk from South Croydon (Southern), then topped up once the surface dries.

About the area
South Croydon in context
Edwardian villas in flats, 1930s semis and detached houses with drives around Croham Hurst woods, and that stock decides the method: original tessellated tile first, everything else after. Victorian and Edwardian streets on the hill above the town, with Selsdon beyond, so CR2 jobs reward patience over pressure.

Questions
South Croydon CR2 jet washing questions
A front path in CR2 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 Croydon — and Croham Hurst woods a few streets away, with 3,637 households on this patch. Minimum charge £110. Two photos get a fixed written price the same working day on Croydon bookings.
Not when the pressure matches the material. Locally that means original tessellated tile, and the risk we guard against is encaustic tiles bedded in lime mortar on the streets near Croham Hurst woods — and 60% owner-occupation locally, with 30% of CR2 homes being privately rented, 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 around South Croydon (Southern), with 10% social-rented stock nearby.
Yes, and it is included. Kiln-dried sand is brushed and vibrated into the joints on the day on the streets near Croham Hurst woods, with 60% owner-occupation locally, then topped up again once the surface dries. Cleaning block paving without re-sanding leaves the blocks free to move and sink for South Croydon (CR2) addresses.
Into our tank. Every gully gets a drain guard before we start, silt is vacuumed up and removed under our waste carrier licence in South Croydon, with Croydon parking rules in play — and 10% social-rented stock nearby, and detergent never reaches a Croydon highway drain. That is a legal requirement, not an extra.
Steep hills, narrow Victorian frontages and driveways further out on CR2 jobs. London Borough of Croydon suspensions and visitor permits are arranged and paid for by us and sit inside the quoted price on this side of Croydon, with 60% owner-occupation locally. Where the only route to a back garden is through the house, we lay hose matting and wear boot covers in South Croydon, with Croham Hurst woods 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 in this 47% flats neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Croydon territory. Old oil soaked into porous concrete lightens with hot water and a poultice but rarely disappears on Croydon bookings, with a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood. We say so before you book.
Yes. Every area in Croydon has its own page in this 47% flats neighbourhood, and we cross borough boundaries constantly. If your address sits on the edge of CR2, book the nearest page and we will confirm the same fixed price on this side of Croydon, with Croydon parking rules in play.
