Overview
Pathway jet washing in Shortlands and Hayes BR2, explained
Pathway jet washing in Shortlands and Hayes BR2 is a fixed-price visit for owner-occupier-led homes in Bromley, most of them mainly Edwardian. 3,676 households sit inside this BR2 patch, 52% of them flats, so we quote on access near Hayes Common rather than a London average.
How it works
How pathway jet washing works in Shortlands and Hayes
Five steps, the same on every BR2 job, so you know what happens before you commit. In BR2, Victorian and Edwardian conversion flats with original lath-and-plaster partitions — measured on the walk in from Shortlands (Southeastern) rather than assumed from a map is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Tell us the surface and the access
Concrete, natural stone or block paving, roughly the length, and whether residents need the path kept open throughout.
Step 2
Fixed written quote
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
Pre-treat algae and lichen
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
Wash at the right pressure
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
Sign, dry and hand back
Wet-floor signs stay out until the path is safe, then debris is swept and the route reopened.
Why choose us
Why Shortlands and Hayes customers book us
Four things decide whether a BR2 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
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. Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak.
Booked around your day
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. Shortlands (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a BR2 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Shortlands and Hayes walls, not generic walls
We expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in BR2, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here.
Fixed prices
Pathway jet washing prices in Shortlands and Hayes
Fixed prices for BR2 and the rest of Bromley. Surface and access, not length alone. Natural stone at a lower pressure takes longer per square metre than concrete, and a communal path that must stay open for residents costs more than a private one of the same size.
| 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. |

Domestic prices are the total you pay; managing agents and freeholders are invoiced plus VAT at 20%.

Where the path is on adopted highway and a licence is needed to work on it, that cost is itemised before booking.
Scope
What's included in Shortlands and Hayes
The same scope across BR2, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- In Shortlands and Hayes: pressure and lance matched to the surface — full pressure on concrete and tarmac, a hand lance and lower pressure on natural stone, sized for the driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak
- On BR2 jobs: algae and lichen treated with a biocide first on shaded, north-facing stretches rather than pressure-blasted alone, pathway jet washing prices included
- Standard on Bromley bookings: loose or lifted flags flagged to you before we start, so we don't wash around a trip hazard and say nothing, with 3,676 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Wet-floor signage and a marked drying route kept in place until the path is safe to walk on again, checked on every BR2 visit
- In Shortlands and Hayes: wastewater directed away from surface water drains during the wash, timed against the walk in from Shortlands (Southeastern)
- On BR2 jobs: debris and moss residue swept and bagged for removal, not left in the border or gutter, agreed on the doorstep in Shortlands and Hayes before anything is unpacked
Not included
- Re-laying, re-bedding or replacing cracked, sunken or missing flags — quoted separately as paving repair, which we refer on to the right trade in Shortlands and Hayes
- Repointing natural stone joints on listed or conservation-area surfaces, which needs a mason working to the borough's conservation guidance, quoted separately if you need it arranged in BR2
- Adopted public highway sections that need a council street-works licence before any work can start, outside the fixed price on Shortlands and Hayes bookings
- Removing tree root heave that has lifted a path, which needs an arborist assessment first, and we will say so before the BR2 visit rather than on the day

Thankyou to Nicole and Marius and colleagues for a superb clean of our family home.

Shortlands and Hayes BR2 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Shortlands and Hayes — the numbers that actually change a pathway jet washing quote.
In Shortlands and Hayes (BR2) the split is 52% flats to 48% houses over 3,676 households, and the stock is mainly Edwardian.
With 24% private renting against 69% owner-occupied, most BR2 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Expect with solid brick on the party and external walls, over lath and plaster over timber studs, which is why London Borough of Bromley kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded behind the plaster in BR2. That is why fixings are picked in the room rather than off a van shelf, and why which crumbles the key and drops the panel, over a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster, a median age of 42 in this neighbourhood shapes what gets ordered here is the fault we are called back to undo.
Leafy commuter streets between Bromley and Beckenham, with Hayes Common nearby. That character decides the practical detail of pathway jet washing here far more than the borough boundary does. Shortlands and Hayes is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Getting to the door matters as much as the job: driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak. Shortlands (Southeastern) is the nearest station, and 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.
