You get a fixed price in writing, an insured fitter and a tidy finish.
Overview
Booked mostly by social-housing-led households around Mottingham, pathway jet washing here covers supply-free fitting from £85. With 25% of Mottingham's 3,789 homes in flats, lift access and stair carries in SE9 shape the slot length we hold.
How it works
Step 1
Concrete, natural stone or block paving, roughly the length, and whether residents need the path kept open throughout.
Step 2
Priced as a flat rate under 10m² or per square metre above it, with a communal walkway quoted per visit for the access constraints it involves.
Step 3
Shaded, north-facing stretches usually carry the heaviest growth and get a biocide soak before the pressure wash, so it doesn't simply regrow within weeks.
Step 4
Full pressure on concrete and tarmac; a hand lance and reduced pressure on York stone, sandstone and other natural flags to avoid pitting the surface.
Step 5
Wet-floor signs stay out until the path is safe, then debris is swept and the route reopened.
Why choose us
One technician for a private path; two where a communal walkway has to stay open to residents while the work is done, so one can manage access while the other washes. Wide roads and driveways throughout, with easy turning for a Luton.
Same-week across every borough. Communal jobs for managing agents are usually booked around a quiet period in the building to minimise disruption to residents' access. Mottingham (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SE9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 3,789 households inside the SE9 neighbourhood.
Wastewater containing biocide or detergent is directed away from surface water drains during the wash, and any adopted highway section is checked for a street-works licence requirement before work starts.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front path, up to 10m² | £85 | 40–60 min | Priced as a flat job below 10m² because the van and hose have to be set up regardless of the path's length. |
| Concrete or tarmac path, per m² over 10m² | £4 | By area | A straightforward, non-porous surface that takes full pressure without risk to the finish. |
| York stone or natural flag path, per m² | £6 | By area | Natural stone is softer and more porous than concrete flags, so it's cleaned with a lower pressure and a hand lance rather than a rotary surface cleaner. |
| Block-paved path, per m² | £5 | By area | Narrow paths have proportionally more joint length than a driveway of the same area, so more of the job is joint work rather than open-surface passes. |
| Communal walkway or shared side return, per visit | £150 | By length | Priced per visit rather than per square metre because access has to be kept open for residents throughout, which slows the run compared with a private path. |
| Anti-slip treatment application, per m² | £3.50 | Added to visit | A surface treatment applied after cleaning that increases grip on stone and concrete, priced separately because not every path needs it. |

Expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork — which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in SE9. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — the pattern behind 3,789 households inside the SE9 neighbourhood is the fault we are called back to undo.
