Why Hello Services in Lewisham
Pressure set from a test metre
We work to the weakest material on site, because hard-water spotting on flat porcelain if the rinse is left to dry in the sun is what a rushed job leaves behind.
Re-sanding included, never an add-on
Kiln-dried sand brushed and vibrated in on the day, then topped up once the surface dries.
Photographed before and after
Each SE6 visit is documented, so landlords and building managers get evidence without asking.
Drains guarded, silt removed legally
Every gully in Bellingham and Downham is guarded and the silt leaves under our waste carrier licence.

Questions
Lewisham 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 12 of them, each with its own page covering the housing stock, the surfaces that come with it and the access reality for a van. Steep hills at Honor Oak and Forest Hill, narrow terraced streets and expanding CPZs across SE4 and SE14.
Yes. Bin stores, walkways, car park bays and podium decks across Lewisham 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 London Borough of Lewisham 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.
