Overview
Pathway jet washing in Dartmouth Park NW5 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Camden, most of them mainly Victorian. 3,395 households sit inside this NW5 patch, 72% of them flats, so we quote on access near Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields rather than a London average.
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. Steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions.
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. Tufnell Park (Northern) is the nearest station, so a NW5 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — the pattern behind 3,395 households inside the NW5 neighbourhood in NW5, 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 — and with 35% one-person households in Dartmouth Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site.
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. |

Working in Dartmouth Park

18% of households rent privately and 45% own, which is why pathway jet washing demand here peaks around tenancy changeovers and completion dates.
Dartmouth Park substrates run to precast concrete panels and dense blockwork; locally that also means often with surface conduit — the pattern behind 3,395 households inside the NW5 neighbourhood. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it on these streets — and with 35% one-person households in Dartmouth Park, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site is the mistake that costs a NW5 customer twice.
Anyone who knows Dartmouth Park knows the pattern near Highgate Cemetery and Parliament Hill Fields: steep Victorian streets between Highgate Cemetery and the eastern edge of Hampstead Heath. We plan the NW5 visit around it. Dartmouth Park sits inside the Congestion Charge zone as well as ULEZ, so both are itemised on the quote rather than absorbed into an hourly rate.
On access, steep gradients, resident permit bays and long communal stair runs in the conversions — one reason 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. Fitters travelling in use Tufnell Park (Northern).
