Block paving that looked crisp when it was laid can turn dark and patchy within a few years, especially under trees. We jet wash driveways, patios, paths and slabs across Wokingham to lift dirt, algae and weeds from the joints, and we can re-sand and seal the surface afterwards to help it stay clean for longer. For anything that a jet wash would damage, such as rendered walls, cladding or delicate stone, we use soft washing instead: low pressure with a cleaning treatment that kills the growth at the root. We also clean garden walls, fencing and decking, so a Wokingham garden can be done in one visit.
Why jet washing matters in Wokingham
Wokingham's newer estates have given the town a lot of render, and render is where soft washing earns its keep. Many homes in Montague Park, Matthewsgreen and the other recent developments have white or pale render panels, and on north-facing walls it often turns green or grey with algae within a few years. A pressure washer can etch or crack render, so we use a low-pressure soft wash with a treatment that's suitable for coloured renders, including K-Rend. On older Wokingham properties the work is more about driveways and patios: brick paviours and slabs that have gathered years of moss, especially where they sit in the shade of mature trees. Wokingham's clay soil keeps patios damp for longer after rain, which is why algae spreads so easily on paving here. Once it's cleaned, re-sanding the joints and adding a sealer helps keep weeds and moss from coming straight back.

Jet Washing & Soft Washing in Wokingham — FAQs
Can you clean the green render on my new-build in Wokingham?
Yes. Green or grey staining on render is very common on Wokingham's newer estates. We soft wash it at low pressure with a treatment that kills algae and lichen without harming the render, including K-Rend. A jet wash on render risks damaging it, so we don't use one.
Do you re-sand block paving after jet washing?
We can. Jet washing lifts the old, weedy sand out of the joints, so re-sanding afterwards is a good idea on most Wokingham driveways. We can also apply a sealer, which helps bind the sand and makes it harder for moss and weeds to take hold again.
How long does a driveway take?
Most driveways are done in a day, including re-sanding if you have chosen it.
Will jet washing damage my driveway?
Not when it is done properly — we adjust pressure and nozzles for each surface.
