Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, so charging zones never reach your invoice.

Questions
Kingston upon Thames jet washing questions
Front paths from £95, patios £140–£260, block-paved driveways £170–£300 including re-sanding, and render soft washing from £240 an elevation. The minimum visit charge is £110, and every figure includes water, power, permits and silt disposal.
All 8 of them, each with its own page covering the housing stock, the surfaces that come with it and the access reality for a van. One-way system and pedestrianised centre in Kingston, riverside loading limits, driveways in Surbiton and Chessington.
Yes. Bin stores, walkways, car park bays and podium decks across Kingston upon Thames are cleaned with hot water and a degreaser out of hours where residents need it, with drain guards fitted, a deodorising treatment and a photo report for the building file.
They solve different problems. Pressure — through an enclosed rotary head — is right for block paving and concrete. Soft washing at under 40 bar is the only safe option on render, brick, roof tiles and fragile stone, because it kills the growth at the root instead of stripping the surface it lives on.
Where a suspension is needed we arrange and pay for it with Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and the cost is already inside your quote. Our vans are ULEZ compliant, so those never appear as an extra line.
We carry £5m public liability, test a hidden metre before starting and photograph the surface before and after. If something goes wrong we put it right — that is why we survey on arrival rather than pricing blind from a phone call.
