Mossy patios and green-stained render are a common sight in Woodley, especially in gardens near the lakes and woodland. We jet wash driveways, block paving, patios, paths and slabs to remove dirt, moss and weeds, and we can re-sand and seal the surface afterwards to help it stay clean. Render, cladding and softer stone are soft washed instead, using low pressure and a treatment that kills algae and lichen. We also clean garden walls, fencing and decking, so every hard surface around a Woodley home can be refreshed. Re-sanding and sealing are optional extras, and we're happy to advise on whether your paving would benefit, whether it's a 1930s concrete path or a 1980s block-paved drive.
Why jet washing matters in Woodley
Every era of Woodley's housing has its own surfaces to clean. The 1930s semis often have concrete or slab paths and older brick garden walls, which go green in the shade. Homes from the 1970s and 1980s, including those on the old aerodrome site, often have block-paved drives whose joints are now full of moss and weeds. Where newer homes, including some on the Bulmershe estate, have render or cladding, we soft wash it at low pressure rather than jet washing, and that includes K-Rend. The damp air near the Loddon, Southlake and Lavells Lake keeps surfaces wet for longer, which is why algae spreads so quickly on patios and decking here. Driveways along busy roads such as Reading Road also collect oil and traffic grime. After jet washing, re-sanding with kiln-dried sand and sealing helps block paving and patios stay cleaner for longer.

Jet Washing & Soft Washing in Woodley — FAQs
Can you clean render on the newer homes in Woodley?
Yes. Render and cladding on Woodley homes should be soft washed rather than jet washed. We use low pressure and a treatment that kills algae and lichen, which works on most renders, including K-Rend. A jet wash would risk damaging the surface.
Do you seal driveways after jet washing in Woodley?
We can. After jet washing, we re-sand block paving joints with kiln-dried sand and can apply a sealer. On Woodley driveways near the lakes and woodland, that helps slow down moss and weeds and keeps the surface looking cleaner for longer.
Will jet washing damage my driveway?
Not when it is done properly — we adjust pressure and nozzles for each surface.
What is soft washing?
A low-pressure clean using a treatment that kills algae and staining on render and delicate surfaces.
