You pull up onto the driveway, and the sun is finally out. You look down and think WOW, this needs a clean! Now the sun is finally out and shining we can really see all the dirt and grime build up. What can you do about it? You are likely thinking that jet washing or power washing is the answer! How can you do it, and who should do it? Time for our handy guide. We will break down what’s needed to clean and jet wash a patio or driveway, along with how much the average patio cleaning cost is and the overall cost of pressure washing. We will delve into wether you should try it yourself or use a professional cleaning service which can provide a deep clean and even help save money in the long run.
What are the average patio jet cleaning costs?
Whether you have block paving, natural stone, or concrete slabs, jet washing your patio can really improve its appearance. But how much does it actually cost?
Size of the Patio
The average cost of patio cleaning largely depends on its size. Larger patios naturally take more time and resources, which can increase the pressure washing prices. A medium-sized driveway or patio will cost less than a sprawling garden patio.
Condition of the Patio Slabs
A dirty patio with ingrained dirt, moss growth, and stubborn stains will usually cost more to clean than one in relatively good condition. The level of grime affects the time, tools, and cleaning solution required to get the job done right.
Tough Stains Cost More (Oil and Food)
Oil stains, food spills, and deep-set grime require intensive cleaning, which may involve steam cleaning or hot water treatment. These tough stains can add to your patio cleaning cost because they require specialist stain removal techniques and specialised equipment.

How much does it cost to pressure wash a driveway?
Of Course costs vary, to help you get a good idea here are some things to consider…
Size of the Patio
The larger the driveway, the greater the cost. Whether you have an average-sized driveway that fits a car or two, or you have a long concrete entrance road, we tailor our pricing to fit your needs.
Condition of driveway
Heavy dirt buildup, moss removal, or oil stain removal all impact the cost of cleaning. A simple rinse might fall under light cleaning, but deep cleans for delicate surfaces or stained areas can cost more.
Water Supply
If we’re using your water supply, it helps reduce our operational costs, which will help keep your overall pressure washing cost down. If we need to bring our own water or if a hot water power washer system is required, it might slightly increase the total price.

How Can I Save Money on Patio Jet Washing?
The cost of living is skyrocketing, so we are always looking to save a penny or two and grab a bargain! Many people will choose to do the jet washing on their own to save money. However, while we, like everyone, do love saving money, there is a careful balance needed between hiring a professional cleaning company and doing it yourself, especially when your driveway needs extra care.
The Challenge of DIY Patio Cleaning
You have a free Sunday afternoon, the sun is out, and you think it’s time to tackle the patio. Fantastic! You can use a garden hose, buckets of water and a stiff brush and remove a lot of dirt and grime. If you have your own small jet washer, this will greatly help. The challenge though can be getting a consistent clean across the whole area. Also for bigger driveways, you might simply run out of time! If there are tougher stains or deep-seated grime, it can be even harder. DIY cleaning can definitely save money up front, but without specialised equipment the results can be short-lived and inconsistent.
The Benefit of Professional Equipment
Our high-powered pressure washers, jet washers, soft washing equipment and dirt blaster lances cut through grime quickly. We can clean paving slabs, concrete patios, and even delicate stone surfaces with precision and care. Hiring a professional pressure washer also saves you time, energy, and the hassle of buying or renting expensive tools.
How does the surface type affect power washing costs?
Different surface types like block paving, crazy paving, or natural stone require specific treatment. Some may need soft washing, while others call for high-pressure water spray. This impacts the cost of patio cleaning, but it ensures your surfaces are protected and properly cleaned.
