Professional pressure washing for driveways, patios, block paving, walls, paths, and full house exteriors. Hot water washing and steam cleaning to remove stains and stubborn grime. No upfront deposits.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to forcefully remove dirt, moss, algae, oil, and staining from hard surfaces. Ever since 2021, we have been pressure washing driveways, patios, and building exteriors throughout Northamptonshire, with 100 five-star Google reviews. Adjusting the pressure for each surface material is vital - if it's too high, the surface will be damaged. If there's not enough pressure, the cleaning won't get the promised results.
Full pressure will be used on concrete, tarmac, natural stone, and block paving. For large flat areas, we use rotary surface cleaners - they spread pressure evenly, don't cause the striping as single jets do, and leave a uniform finish.
Lower pressure settings have to be used on sandstone, limestone, aged brick, and painted surfaces. To clean without damaging the surface or stripping coatings, we adjust the PSI. We turn to soft washing if the surfaces are delicate.
Hot water pressure washing breaks down oil, grease, and fuel stains that cannot be removed with cold water. Removal is more effective when water is heated to 80-90 degrees, as it dissolves hydrocarbon bonds in oil and grease on contact. Driveways with oil spills, car parks, loading bays, and garage forecourts benefit from hot water pressure washing. For a standard driveway stain, the pricing starts from £200.
“Pete was very responsive to my enquiry and was very flexible in when he could come - in fact after an initial chat on Thursday night, he was round and completed by Saturday afternoon! He explained the jet washing procedure, we agreed a price and the standard of work was exemplary.”
Jet washing doesn't differ from pressure washing - only the names differ; they're the same service. Many homeowners in the UK don't look for "pressure washing", but for "jet washing". However, both refer to cleaning exterior surfaces with high-pressure water.
No matter how you call it - jet washing, pressure washing, or power washing - it's the same process: we examine the surface, choose the adequate pressure and equipment, clean the area meticulously, and restore it to its original appearance. Jet washing pricing starts from £150 for a small patio, £250 for a standard driveway.
“Pete did an excellent job of jet washing my driveway and rear patio which was block paved. Looks like new, would definitely recommend.”

A full exterior power wash will clean walls, render, cladding, soffits, fascia, paths, patio, and driveway in just one coordinated job. You don't have to book several services; in one visit, one team will clean the entire exterior of the property. Pricing for full house exterior washes starts from £600, and it's more affordable than booking cleaning for each surface.
Even though it's a single visit, we use different methods on different surfaces, which is the main difference from standard pressure washing. We use full-pressure rotary cleaners to clean driveways, patios, and other hard surfaces. For walls and render, we employ soft washing at low pressure. Using soft brushes, we gently clean cladding and soffits. We always adjust the method to the material.
Before we start, we protect vegetation and cover drainage, and remove all debris after we finish. We don't mess up the garden and don't leave any dirty runoff behind. You pay after we finish to your satisfaction.
“Peter was very responsive, polite, friendly and did a fab job. Even washed down the windows and garden furniture after the pressure washing of our patio. Looks great now and would definitely recommend!”
For even coverage, we use full pressure with rotary surface cleaners. To remove oil and grease stains, we use hot water. Driveways, paths, garage floors, and hardstanding areas benefit from pressure washing. Old, stained concrete that is pressure-washed will look impressive.
Rotary cleaners will lift dirt and moss from between the blocks, but don't displace them. We follow cleaning with re-sanding the joints with kiln-dried sand. The paving will look new. One of our clients' favourite services is block paving cleaning.
We minimise the risk of surface erosion by using lower pressure settings. Sandstone, limestone, York stone, and slate patios benefit from pressure washing. Removing years of deeply set dirt, pressure washing will restore natural stone to its original tone - the colour restoration is often dramatic.
Steam cleaning cleans surfaces with superheated water at very low pressure and does not damage them, as even controlled pressure washing would. Steam cleaning is used on heritage stonework, sensitive surfaces near drainage and vegetation, decorative paving, and oil-stained hardstanding where chemicals cannot be used.
Steam cleaning is often the only method that removes oil stains, especially if they're old and deeply set. While heat will break down the oil at the molecular level, the low pressure won't damage the surface underneath. For the most difficult stains, we use both steam and biodegradable degreasing agents. For a single stain, pricing for oil stain removal starts at £100, but it can also be included in a full driveway clean.
Due to a leaking vehicle, a customer struggled with an old oil spill on their block paving. Soon after he received high estimates from various companies that didn't even show up for the job, he reached out to us. On the same day, we used steam cleaning to remove the oil stain. The price was just a fraction of what he had been quoted previously.
“I had an old oil spill on my block paving driveway due to a leaking vehicle. After getting a few quotes from various companies that seemed quite high in price, and still failing to show up, I found Peter. He managed to steam clean the oil off with his mega equipment and charged me a fraction of what I had been previously quoted. He also gave me DIY advice to prevent further damage. Top bloke.”

“Fabulous job done yesterday by the guys at Exterior Cleaning Solutions. The work was done at my mother's bungalow and we were so pleased with the results. I had no idea that the block paving was two colours until today! They worked really hard into the late evening to get it finished.”
“Peter put together a comprehensive and detailed quote so that we knew exactly what we were getting. He then delivered on all of his promises and kept me informed about the progress of the job from start to finish. We used him to remove a hydraulic oil stain from brand new block paving and it came up spotless. First class.”
“Peter is super helpful and friendly, he did an amazing job jet washing a large site without a water supply on the site but he sorted everything and we were extremely happy with the results.”
“I recently hired Peter from Exterior Cleaning Solutions and I couldn't be happier with the results. He power washed the tiles in my garden and the results were amazing. My garden looks brand new!”
Not with high pressure. We only clean render with soft washing - low-pressure water with a biodegradable cleaning solution that kills algae and organic growth, but doesn't damage the render surface. High-pressure jets pose several risks, including stripping paint, eroding soft render, and pushing water behind the render layer. The first thing we do is examine the surface, then choose the appropriate cleaning method. Visit our render cleaning page for further details on render cleaning.
The name - they are the same service. In the UK, "jet washing" and "pressure washing" don't refer to different processes - they both use high-pressure water to clean hard surfaces. While some people also use "power washing", the method is the same. Using the three terms helps customers find the cleaning method they need.
A small patio or path pressure washing starts from around £150. Based on the size, the standard driveway costs £250 to £400. A full house exterior wash (walls, render, paths, patio) typically ranges from £600 to £1,200. We can provide free site surveys and estimates based on the area and its condition. You pay what we quote.
No, as long as it's done right. We don't use a single jet as it will damage joints and displace sand, but rotary surface cleaners that spread pressure evenly across the surface. If necessary, we follow cleaning with re-sanding the joints with kiln-dried sand. The blocks don't shift, and the joints are restored.
2-4 hours for a standard patio. Based on the size and condition, we will need half a day to a full day to clean a driveway. Full house exterior wash may take us 1-2 days. After the free survey, we can also give you a precise timeframe so you know exactly what will happen.
Yes. We use hot water pressure washing to remove oil stains, grease, fuel spills, and deeply set organic buildup on concrete and tarmac. Unlike cold water alone, hot water will break down oil and grease far more efficiently. Cold water with a rotary cleaner is enough to remove standard moss and algae.
Our base is in Northampton, but we can travel up to 90 minutes for pressure washing jobs throughout the East Midlands and beyond.
