Jet Washing in Eltham, SE9
Pressure washing in Eltham (SE9, Greenwich) is decided by the stock: block paving, imprinted concrete, concrete slab patios and long side returns. Most SE9 bookings are a full block-paved driveway clean with kiln-dried re-sanding. Near Eltham Palace the ground stays damp long after rain, which is why the growth returns to the same shaded metre every year.

Questions
Eltham SE9 jet washing questions
A front path in SE9 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 around Eltham (Southeastern) — and a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, with Greenwich parking rules in play. Minimum charge £110. Two photos get a fixed written price the same working day on this side of Greenwich.
Not when the pressure matches the material. Locally that means block paving, and the risk we guard against is joint sand washed out by the previous contractor, leaving blocks free to rock across SE9, with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood. We test a hidden metre first and drop to soft washing, under 40 bar, on render, brick and fragile stone on the streets near Eltham Palace, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory.
Yes, and it is included. Kiln-dried sand is brushed and vibrated into the joints on the day around Eltham (Southeastern), with a median age of 40 in this neighbourhood, then topped up again once the surface dries. Cleaning block paving without re-sanding leaves the blocks free to move and sink across SE9.
Into our tank. Every gully gets a drain guard before we start, silt is vacuumed up and removed under our waste carrier licence on Greenwich bookings, with Eltham Palace a few streets away — and this being a short walk from Eltham (Southeastern), and detergent never reaches a Greenwich highway drain. That is a legal requirement, not an extra.
Driveway parking on most streets; the high street has timed loading only on the Eltham rounds. Royal Borough of Greenwich suspensions and visitor permits are arranged and paid for by us and sit inside the quoted price on SE9 jobs, with this being Royal Borough of Greenwich territory. Where the only route to a back garden is through the house, we lay hose matting and wear boot covers around Eltham (Southeastern), with a median age of 40 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 streets near Eltham Palace, with this being a short walk from Eltham (Southeastern). Old oil soaked into porous concrete lightens with hot water and a poultice but rarely disappears for Eltham (SE9) addresses, with 15% of SE9 homes being privately rented. We say so before you book.
Yes. Every area in Greenwich has its own page on this side of Greenwich, and we cross borough boundaries constantly. If your address sits on the edge of SE9, book the nearest page and we will confirm the same fixed price on SE9 jobs, with this being a short walk from Eltham (Southeastern).
