Country living means mud, and a lot of it ends up on the drive. Tyres carry it in from wet lanes around Sonning Common, and in shaded gardens it mixes with leaf litter and moss to turn paving dark and slippery. Jet washing clears driveways, block paving, patios, slabs and paths back to their proper colour, and we can re-sand the joints and seal the surface afterwards. For render, cladding and softer stone we use soft washing, which pairs low pressure with a treatment that kills algae and lichen. Walls, fencing and decking are covered too, which helps when garden timber has gone green after a damp Sonning Common winter.
Why jet washing matters in Sonning Common
Gardens here are often generous, which means more patio, more path and more decking to look after. Under the trees that fill many Sonning Common gardens, slabs and timber stay damp and grow algae quickly, especially on north-facing patios and along hedge lines. Block-paved drives pick up mud, weeds in the joints and the black spots of lichen, and gravel edges can wash onto the paving after heavy rain. Some homes in the village and in nearby Peppard and Kidmore End have rendered walls or extensions, and those are best soft washed so the finish is not damaged or soaked. Older brick-and-flint garden walls are cleaned at low pressure to protect the mortar and loose flints. For each surface we explain which method we will use and whether re-sanding or sealing is worthwhile, so you can decide what you want done.

Jet Washing & Soft Washing in Sonning Common — FAQs
Can you remove lichen spots from a driveway in Sonning Common?
Jet washing removes most surface dirt, moss and algae. Lichen grips harder, so we treat it as well as washing it. Re-sanding afterwards locks the blocks in place, and a sealer can help slow regrowth on shaded drives under trees.
Do you soft wash render on homes around Sonning Common?
Yes. Render, including K-Rend, is cleaned with a low-pressure soft wash and a treatment that kills the algae causing green and black streaks. It is safer for the finish than jet washing and helps it stay clean for longer, even under trees.
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.
