If your patio in Winnersh turns slippery and green each winter, you're not alone. Paving near the river and in shaded gardens holds on to moisture, and algae, moss and weeds soon follow. We jet wash block paving, driveways, patios, paths and slabs to strip that growth out, then re-sand the joints and seal the surface if you'd like it to stay cleaner for longer. For render, cladding and delicate stone, we use soft washing instead: low pressure with a treatment that kills algae and lichen without damaging the surface. We clean walls, fences and decking across Winnersh too. Re-sanding and sealing are optional, and we'll explain whether they're worth it for your surface.
Why jet washing matters in Winnersh
Hard surfaces in Winnersh have a tough life. Low ground near the Loddon and the Emm Brook means paths and patios stay damp after rain, and that dampness is what turns paving green and makes decking slippery. Driveways along the Reading Road and near the crossroads also pick up a dark film of traffic dirt and oil. On the 1970s and 1980s estates, many driveways are block paving that's now decades old, with joints full of moss and weeds. Jet washing clears them, and re-sanding and sealing helps stop weeds coming straight back. Some newer homes in and around Winnersh have rendered panels that go green on shaded walls. We soft wash those, including K-Rend, because a jet wash can damage render. Timber decking near Dinton Pastures and the water meadows tends to grow algae quickly, so a low-pressure clean and treatment is gentler on the boards.

Jet Washing & Soft Washing in Winnersh — FAQs
Can you make my slippery Winnersh decking safe again?
Usually, yes. Decking near the river and in shaded gardens gets slippery from algae. We clean it at a pressure that suits the timber, so we don't raise the grain, and treat it to slow down regrowth. Very old or rotten boards may need replacing, and we'll tell you if so.
Is jet washing suitable for rendered walls?
No, we don't jet wash render, because high pressure can damage it. On rendered walls in Winnersh, including K-Rend, we use a soft wash: low pressure with a treatment that kills algae and lichen, so the staining fades without harming the surface.
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.
