Block paving is everywhere in Earley. Drives, paths and patios across Lower Earley were laid at the same time as the houses, and many have now gone dark, uneven and weedy. We jet wash block paving, driveways, patios and slabs to bring the colour back, then re-sand and seal them if you'd like the result to last longer. For rendered walls, cladding and softer stone, we use soft washing: low pressure with a treatment that kills algae and lichen without harming the surface. We clean garden walls, fences and decking in Earley too. Many Earley customers ask for driveway and patio together, which saves a second visit.
Why jet washing matters in Earley
The age of Earley's estates shows most clearly at ground level. Block paving from the 1980s and 1990s has had decades of cars, leaf fall and rain. The sand in the joints washes out over time, and moss, weeds and ants move in, which can make the blocks shift and rock. A thorough jet wash clears the joints and lifts the green and black staining, and re-sanding with kiln-dried sand followed by a sealer helps lock the blocks in place and keeps weeds down. Patios near Maiden Erlegh Lake and other shaded spots tend to go green fastest. Some Earley homes have rendered extensions or newer cladding, which we soft wash at low pressure, including K-Rend, because a jet wash could damage them. Garden walls and fences near busy roads like Wokingham Road and Lower Earley Way also benefit from a clean.

Jet Washing & Soft Washing in Earley — FAQs
Can you fix block paving that has weeds growing between the blocks?
Yes. Weedy joints are one of the most common problems on Earley driveways. We jet wash the old sand, moss and weeds out, then re-sand with kiln-dried sand and can apply a sealer, which helps stop weeds coming back and keeps the blocks firm.
Do you soft wash rendered extensions in Earley?
Yes. Rendered extensions and newer cladding on Earley homes should never be jet washed, so we soft wash them at low pressure with a treatment that kills algae and lichen. It works on most renders, including K-Rend. We'll explain the process before we start.
What is soft washing?
A low-pressure clean using a treatment that kills algae and staining on render and delicate surfaces.
How long does a driveway take?
Most driveways are done in a day, including re-sanding if you have chosen it.
