The Work

Pressure Washing You Can Trust in East Finchley

East Finchley has more front driveways than most of the areas we cover. Away from the High Road a lot of the housing is interwar semi-detached, with a paved drive at the front and a garden behind, and those drives make up the bulk of our pressure washing work in N2.

A drive that takes a car every day picks up grime where the wheels sit, while the edges and the strip beside the fence go green because they rarely dry out properly. Both need treating, and the shaded strip usually takes longer than the open middle.

Tree cover adds to it. Streets near Cherry Tree Wood and the roads running down towards Highgate Wood have plenty of mature trees, and leaf litter that sits on paving through the autumn is what feeds the algae.

We cover East Finchley (N2), Fortis Green, the Hampstead Garden Suburb side and the rest of Finchley.

Local Knowledge

Your Local Pressure Washing Team in East Finchley

Block paving drives sit alongside older concrete and crazy paving all over Finchley, and each one washes differently. Block paving loses its joint sand in a wash and needs it brushed back in, concrete can usually take more pressure, and older stone needs less. We look at what your drive is actually made of rather than treating every one the same, and if part of it has sunk or the blocks have started to rock, we tell you that washing will make it look better but will not fix it.

What We Do

How Pressure Washing Works in East Finchley, Step by Step

1

You call or send the form

Tell us whether it is the drive, the patio, the path or all of them. A photo of the drive taken from the pavement is plenty to start with.

2

We come and look

We measure the drive and patio and check the surface, since a large block paved drive and a small concrete one are very different jobs. You get the price in writing.

3

The area gets protected

The drive needs to be clear of cars on the day. Pots and bins are moved, and anything close by that should stay dry gets covered.

4

We clean

Overlapping passes across the full width of the drive, so there are no stripes between the wheel tracks and the edges.

5

We finish up

Joints are re-sanded where needed, slurry is rinsed off the front edge and borders, and the drive is ready to use again.

What We Clean

Most N2 jobs start with the drive, and plenty of customers add the back patio once they see the front come up. Both can be done in one visit by the same crew.

Jet Washing

Jet Washing in East Finchley

Concrete drives in East Finchley can usually take a firm jet wash, which shifts the ground-in dirt a garden hose will not touch. Softer stone and older paths get a gentler setting.

Driveway Cleaning

This is the main job in N2. We clean the whole drive edge to edge, including the strip along the fence and the front wall where moss settles first.

Patio Cleaning

Patio Cleaning in East Finchley

Back gardens behind East Finchley semis are generally a decent size, with patios running the width of the house. The shaded ends near fences and sheds go green first, and we take them back to the stone without damaging the pointing.

Block Paving

Block paved drives here often have weeds coming through the joints in the corners that see least traffic. We wash them out and brush kiln-dried sand back in so the blocks stay locked together.

The Price

How Much Does Pressure Washing Cost in East Finchley?

For most East Finchley homes the drive is the biggest part of the price, simply because of its size. Access is rarely a problem with a front drive and a side gate, so what we measure on the visit comes down mostly to area and condition. The quote is free and there is no obligation.

  • The size of the drive and any patio, measured on site
  • Block paving, concrete or natural stone, as each is washed differently
  • How long the surface has gone without a clean
  • Shaded areas and fence lines where the moss has gone deeper
  • An outside tap, which is the usual water supply

Why Choose Us

Why East Finchley calls us back

  • The price comes after we have seen it

    A drive's size is easy to misjudge from a photo, and so is how deep the moss goes along the edges. We measure it, then give you a fixed figure in writing.

  • We finish the job the same day we start it

    A standard drive and patio in N2 is a one-visit job, washed, rinsed and re-sanded before we leave.

  • Trees and grounds from one team

    If an overgrown hedge or tree along the drive is what keeps it damp, the same crew can cut it back as well as clean underneath it.

  • You are told when something is a bad idea

    Block paving that has sunk or rocks underfoot will look cleaner after washing but will still move. We tell you that before quoting.

  • You do not pay until you are happy with it

    No deposit is taken, you check the drive with us at the end before paying, and there is a fourteen day cooling off period.

FAQs

East Finchley pressure washing questions

Do you cover the rest of Finchley as well as East Finchley?

Yes. We work across N2 and the wider Finchley area, as well as Fortis Green and the Hampstead Garden Suburb side. Give us the address and we will confirm.

Do I need to move my car?

Yes, the drive needs to be clear on the day so it can be washed edge to edge. That is usually the only thing we need from you.

Will washing loosen my block paving?

Washing takes sand out of the joints, which is why we brush kiln-dried sand back in afterwards. Blocks that were already loose before the wash need relaying, and we will say so if we see it.

Can you get rid of the green along the fence line?

Yes. It is usually the dampest, shadiest strip of the drive, so it takes a slower pass, but it comes back to match the rest.

How often should a drive be cleaned?

An open, sunny drive can go a couple of years. One under trees or beside a shaded fence is worth doing every year, before the moss beds into the joints.

Is the quote free?

Yes. We come and look, measure up and give you a written price, with no obligation.
