Bagshot sits on sandy heathland ground, and you can see it in the joints of almost every block-paved drive. Sand and soil wash in, moss and weeds take root, and before long the paving looks tired and patchy. We jet wash block paving, driveways, patios, slabs and paths to clear the dirt, weeds and algae from the surface and the joints, then can re-sand and seal to help keep them clear. For softer surfaces we use low-pressure soft washing with a treatment instead: render including K-Rend, cladding and delicate stone or old brick. Garden walls, fence panels and timber decking are on the list as well. It is the same equipment whether you have a cottage yard off the High Street or a long drive in Windlesham, used with the right pressure for the job.
Why jet washing matters in Bagshot
The surroundings shape what Bagshot's outdoor surfaces need. Patios and decks in gardens backing onto woodland around Bagshot Park, Swinley Forest and Lightwater stay damp in the shade and pick up green algae and black spotting, which makes them slippery through autumn and winter. Fencing and decking under trees grow a green film within a season or two. Driveways close to the A30 and the A322 collect oily residue and road grime. In the older parts of the village, garden walls and paths may be old brick or natural stone that would be scarred by a high-pressure lance, so these are soft washed at low pressure with a treatment that kills growth without damaging the surface. Newer rendered homes in Bagshot Green and Lightwater often streak green on the shaded walls, and those are soft washed too. On block paving, re-sanding and sealing after a clean make a real difference here, because they stop the sandy local soil from simply refilling the joints with weeds.

Jet Washing & Soft Washing in Bagshot — FAQs
Is jet washing safe for the old brick paths and walls around my Bagshot cottage?
We do not use high pressure on old brick or soft stone. Instead we soft wash with a low-pressure rinse and a treatment that kills moss and algae, letting it break down without eroding the surface. Hard modern paving can be jet washed as normal.
Can you clean decking and fencing near the forest edge?
Yes. Decking and fencing shaded by trees in Bagshot often turn green and slippery. We clean them at a pressure that suits the timber, lifting the algae and grime without furring up the wood. A treatment can help slow the growth returning.
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.
