Jet Washing in New Cross, SE14
Green paving in SE14 is a drainage story before a cleaning one. New Cross sits in Lewisham, where the stock produces in-situ concrete, tarmac aprons, precast stair treads and steel balustrades — clean that at the wrong pressure and it re-greens faster.

Why Hello Services
Why Hello Services in New Cross
Edges and thresholds by hand
The machine does the middle; a technician does the border, steps and gully surrounds on this side of Lewisham. London Borough of Lewisham rules apply where the kerb or a bay suspension is involved.
Permits, ULEZ and parking included
London Borough of Lewisham suspensions are arranged and paid for by us across SE14, with a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, so charging zones never reach your invoice.
Pressure set from a test metre
We work to the weakest material on site across SE14, with Lewisham parking rules in play — and Goldsmiths, University of London a few streets away, because surface-water drains that must be guarded before a single trigger is pulled is what a rushed job leaves behind.
Re-sanding included, never an add-on
Kiln-dried sand brushed and vibrated in on the day in New Cross, with this being a short walk from New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), then topped up once the surface dries.
Treatments and local costs
What can change the price in New Cross

| Gutter, fascia and soffit wash | £95 | per elevation |
| Gully and channel-drain flush | £60 | per property |

Sealing always needs a separate dry visit — a sealer over damp stone blooms white.
- Parking and permits

Questions
New Cross SE14 jet washing questions
A front path in SE14 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 across SE14 — and 30% owner-occupation locally, with Lewisham parking rules in play. Minimum charge £110. Two photos get a fixed written price the same working day on SE14 jobs.
Not when the pressure matches the material. Locally that means in-situ concrete, and the risk we guard against is surface-water drains that must be guarded before a single trigger is pulled around New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), with 11,771 households on this patch. We test a hidden metre first and drop to soft washing, under 40 bar, on render, brick and fragile stone in this 73% flats neighbourhood, with 73% of homes here being flats.
Yes, and it is included. Kiln-dried sand is brushed and vibrated into the joints on the day around New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, then topped up again once the surface dries. Cleaning block paving without re-sanding leaves the blocks free to move and sink in New Cross.
Into our tank. Every gully gets a drain guard before we start, silt is vacuumed up and removed under our waste carrier licence around New Cross (Overground, Southeastern) — and a median age of 32 in this neighbourhood, with 11,771 households on this patch, and detergent never reaches a Lewisham highway drain. That is a legal requirement, not an extra.
September student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets on the streets near Goldsmiths, University of London. London Borough of Lewisham suspensions and visitor permits are arranged and paid for by us and sit inside the quoted price across SE14, with 30% owner-occupation locally. Where the only route to a back garden is through the house, we lay hose matting and wear boot covers on the New Cross rounds, with Goldsmiths, University of London 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 New Cross, with Lewisham parking rules in play. Old oil soaked into porous concrete lightens with hot water and a poultice but rarely disappears around New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), with 33% one-person households here. We say so before you book.
Yes. Every area in Lewisham has its own page on this side of Lewisham, and we cross borough boundaries constantly. If your address sits on the edge of SE14, book the nearest page and we will confirm the same fixed price in this 73% flats neighbourhood, with 36% social-rented stock nearby.
