Block-paved drives went in across Sandhurst in large numbers, and after a decade or two they all tend to go the same way: green between the blocks, weeds in the joints and a dark film where cars park. We jet wash hard surfaces including block paving, driveways, patios, slabs and paths, then can re-sand the joints and seal the surface to help keep it looking fresh. Render, including K-Rend, cladding and delicate stone are soft washed at low pressure with a treatment that kills algae and lichen without damaging the finish. We also clean walls, fencing and decking. Whether it is a family drive in Owlsmoor or a patio backing onto the woods in Little Sandhurst, the method is chosen to suit the surface.
Why jet washing matters in Sandhurst
Damp is the main enemy of outdoor surfaces in Sandhurst. Patios and paths on the southern side of town, closer to the river and the lakes, stay wet for longer and quickly grow green algae and black spotting, which can make them slippery through the winter. Gardens on the northern edge, near Edgbarrow Woods and the heath, have the same problem in the shade of the trees, plus needles and leaves that stain paving as they rot. The sandy soil washes into block paving joints, giving weeds an easy home. More recent homes and extensions often have render or cladding, and shaded walls develop green streaks; those must be soft washed, not blasted. Timber decks and fences under trees go green within a season or two. After jet washing paving, we recommend re-sanding and sealing in Sandhurst more than almost anywhere, because sealed joints resist the damp and stop weeds and moss settling back in.

Jet Washing & Soft Washing in Sandhurst — FAQs
Can you get rid of green algae on my Sandhurst patio?
Yes. Jet washing lifts the algae and dirt from patio slabs and the joints between them. In damp, shaded Sandhurst gardens it comes back over time, so a sealer after cleaning is worth considering, as it makes the surface harder for growth to take hold.
Do you soft wash render on newer Sandhurst houses?
Yes. Render and cladding should never be cleaned at high pressure. We soft wash them using a low-pressure rinse and a treatment that kills the algae and lichen causing the green streaks. It suits most render types, including K-Rend, and the walls continue to brighten for a while after the visit.
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.
