Patio and driveway cleaning: what needs attention?
A patio beside the house and a drive at the front can need different preparation. Show the joins between surfaces, steps and any damaged or loose paving so the cleaning brief reflects the whole area.
We clean the exterior surfaces agreed in the quotation, with the method chosen for the material and its condition. Tell us whether the job concerns a patio, block-paved drive, front forecourt or garden path. A photograph showing the surface close up helps us see joints and existing damage; a wider view shows the working area.
See our patio cleaning and driveway cleaning pages for the service scope.
The surface, its condition and the route in
Send photos of loose slabs, gaps in joints, coatings or previous repairs. Tell us about narrow gates, steps and any shared passage. We discuss moving pots and furniture and protecting nearby planting before work begins. Cleaning does not repair cracked paving or replace missing joints.
Re-sanding, joint repairs, sealing, coatings and specialist work are separate unless included in the written quotation. No particular finish is promised before the surface is assessed.
Where we cover Harrow HA1
We take enquiries around College Road, Greenhill library and Harrow Recreation Ground. These are local reference points for describing the area, not locations of the work pictured below. Send the full property postcode so we can confirm the visit and access arrangements.
For other garden and property work, use the Harrow area page.
Drainage, debris and your estimate
Harrow Council explains that surface-water drains can carry water straight to rivers without treatment. Identify where water will run before the method is agreed; a drain nearby is not permission to put cleaning water into it.
Read the council drainage guidance.
Photograph the water connection, the power point where practical, and the route to the cleaning area. Mention any pooling you have noticed. We agree the approach and any collection or disposal arrangements after assessing the site rather than assuming all runoff can go into a nearby drain.
What it costs
Pressure washing: 65 pounds per hour. No VAT added. Minimum booking 1 hour. The charging basis, hours and team size are confirmed in your written quotation.
The work is subject to assessment from photos or a visit. Separately agreed extras are confirmed before booking. For the full scope, read the pressure washing service page.
