Jet Washing in Mitcham, CR4
**Pressure washing in Mitcham** (CR4, Merton) is decided by the stock: riven sandstone, granite setts, gravel edging and old brick garden walls. Most CR4 bookings are natural stone patios and paths, soft-washed rather than blasted. Near Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green the ground stays damp long after rain, which is why the growth returns to the same shaded metre every year.
- Fixed price from £95 — £110 minimum visit
- Pressure set to the surface: soft wash on render, 60–80 bar on Victorian tile
- Kiln-dried re-sanding on block paving included, never an add-on
- London Borough of Merton permits, ULEZ and silt disposal inside the price

About the area
Mitcham in context
One of the largest commons in London, a cricket green and Wandle-valley industry. 1930s semis with drives, Victorian cottages around the green and post-war estates, which is why CR4 work is dominated by riven sandstone. Mitcham Common and the Cricket Green is the landmark most customers navigate by.

Questions
Mitcham CR4 jet washing questions
A front path in CR4 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. Minimum charge £110. Two photos get a fixed written price the same working day.
Not when the pressure matches the material. Locally that means riven sandstone, and the risk we guard against is conservation-area consent for anything that changes the appearance of a wall or path. We test a hidden metre first and drop to soft washing, under 40 bar, on render, brick and fragile stone.
Yes, and it is included. Kiln-dried sand is brushed and vibrated into the joints on the day, then topped up again once the surface dries. Cleaning block paving without re-sanding leaves the blocks free to move and sink.
Into our tank. Every gully gets a drain guard before we start, silt is vacuumed up and removed under our waste carrier licence, and detergent never reaches a Merton highway drain. That is a legal requirement, not an extra.
Tram-line crossings, wide suburban roads and driveways on most streets. London Borough of Merton suspensions and visitor permits are arranged and paid for by us and sit inside the quoted price. Where the only route to a back garden is through the house, we lay hose matting and wear boot covers.
Black spot lichen, yes — killed at the root with a biocide, fading over two to three weeks rather than on the day. Old oil soaked into porous concrete lightens with hot water and a poultice but rarely disappears. We say so before you book.
Yes. Every area in Merton has its own page, and we cross borough boundaries constantly. If your address sits on the edge of CR4, book the nearest page and we will confirm the same fixed price.
