Bournemouth Jet Washing has been providing professional pressure washing and exterior cleaning since 2004, giving us more than 20 years of experience cleaning driveways, patios, decking, walls and other exterior surfaces across Bournemouth, Poole and Dorset.

Pressure washing can remove some of the jointing sand between block paving. Once the paving has been cleaned and is sufficiently dry, kiln-dried sand can be swept back into the joints.

Re-sanding helps replace sand removed during cleaning, supports the paving joints and gives the driveway a more complete finished appearance

Yes. We provide professional cleaning for Indian sandstone and other natural stone patios.

The cleaning method is selected according to the condition and type of stone. Where appropriate, hot-water or steam cleaning can also be used to help remove stubborn contamination while reducing the amount of pressure required.

We can significantly improve patios affected by black spot, lichen, algae, moss and other organic contamination.

Results can vary depending on the paving material, age of the staining and how deeply the contamination has become established.

We assess the surface before deciding on the most appropriate cleaning method.

Soft washing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning method used for surfaces that may not be suitable for conventional high-pressure washing.

It is particularly useful for rendered walls and other more delicate exterior surfaces.

Rather than attacking the surface with excessive pressure, an appropriate cleaning process is used to remove algae, mould, mildew and organic staining.

Yes. We clean softwood, hardwood and composite decking.

Decking requires careful cleaning because excessive pressure can damage timber surfaces. We therefore use controlled pressure and appropriate cleaning techniques according to the material and condition.

Cleaning can remove dirt, algae, moss and organic growth while helping make slippery decking cleaner and more usable.

Oil stains can be difficult to remove completely, particularly when oil has penetrated deeply into block paving, concrete or other porous surfaces.

Professional hot-water pressure washing and appropriate cleaning methods may significantly improve the appearance of some oil staining, although complete removal cannot always be guaranteed.

The final result depends on the surface, type of oil, age of the stain and how deeply it has penetrated. Bournemouth Jet Washing can assess the affected area and advise what improvement is realistically achievable.

Yes. We clean brickwork, garden walls, natural stone and other suitable masonry surfaces.

Depending on the material, we may use controlled pressure washing, hot water, steam cleaning or lower-pressure techniques.

Not necessarily. If we have suitable access to the area being cleaned and the necessary arrangements have been made beforehand, we can complete the work while you are away.

We can discuss access and any other requirements when arranging your cleaning.

Where possible, we recommend removing smaller items such as plant pots, ornaments, toys and lightweight garden furniture from the cleaning area before we arrive.

If you have larger or heavier items that cannot easily be moved, let us know when requesting your quote.

The cost of pressure washing depends on the size of the area, surface material, condition and type of cleaning required.

A small patio will generally cost less to clean than a large block-paved driveway or complete exterior cleaning project. Additional services such as block paving re-sanding may also affect the price.
