How much does pressure washing cost?

Prices vary with area size and condition, but a typical driveway starts from around £70-£120. Larger areas, heavy algae build-up, or add-ons like re-sanding and sealing will change the price - we quote properly rather than guessing over the phone.

Is it worth pressure washing before selling my house?

It's one of the better-value improvements before viewings - a clean driveway and patio noticeably improve kerb appeal for relatively modest cost compared with other pre-sale work.

Can you pressure wash in winter?

Yes, though we adjust technique in colder conditions - lower pressure and extra care around jointing that may be softened by frost, and we'll avoid days where freezing overnight could cause issues with standing water.

How do you decide what pressure to use?

It comes down to the surface material - block paving and concrete generally take firm pressure, tarmac needs a low setting, and render, brick and painted walls need a soft-wash approach rather than direct jetting. We assess this on-site before starting.

Trusted Pressure Washing in Willington

Willington pressure washing: driveways, patios, paths, yards and walls cleaned properly, with re-sanding and sealing on request. Free quotes, local team.

Willington sits in County Durham with the kind of damp, mild weather that suits algae and moss far better than it suits driveways. Block paving, natural stone and tarmac around the area all pick up the same green-black film over a year or two of rain and low sun.

Not every surface takes the same pressure. Block paving and stone can generally take a firm clean; tarmac needs a much gentler setting to avoid disturbing the aggregate; render and painted walls need something gentler still. Getting that wrong is how surfaces get damaged rather than cleaned.

A standard driveway pressure wash typically starts from around £70-£120 depending on size and how much moss and algae has built up - considerably less than the cost of relaying or resurfacing a driveway that's been left to deteriorate.

Composite decking and porcelain paving

Modern composite decking and porcelain paving are tougher than natural materials in some ways but can still be damaged by concentrated high pressure at close range, and composite in particular can be scored if the nozzle is held too close. We keep the lance moving and at a sensible distance to get a clean result without surface damage.

How condition affects the price

We'll give an honest view on-site of whether a surface needs a standard clean or extra dwell time and pre-treatment, and price accordingly rather than applying a flat rate regardless of condition.

Small driveway (up to ~3 cars)

typically from around £70-£120

Heavy clean (years of build-up)

Sealing after cleaning

typically from around £5-£9 per m²

Driveway + patio combined

typically from around £130-£250
