Home›Jet Washing & Pressure Washing›Shere
Valley damp leaves Shere patios greasy, paths green and brick edging furred with moss. We pressure wash stone, paving, block and decking at settings matched to each material, lifting the slime and black spot so outdoor spaces feel safe underfoot again.
Garden paving in a shady village rarely stays clean for long. Shere’s tree cover and river mist encourage a slick film of algae on York stone terraces, mossy seams in brick paths and dark lichen dots on sandstone slabs. A cold winter morning turns those surfaces into a hazard. Our jet washing in Shere strips that growth away and brings back the natural colour of the stone, brick or concrete underneath.
The secret is matching the machine to the material. Porcelain and granite can handle a strong, flat-fan clean; soft sandstone, aged brick and old riven flags need lower pressure and more patience; timber decking gets a wider nozzle so fibres are not furred up. Wide expanses such as block drives and concrete aprons are done with a spinning hooded head that keeps the spray in and avoids zebra lines. After the pressure washing, fresh kiln-dried sand can be brushed into block joints, and a biocidal coat, if requested, holds off moss, algae and black spot for longer.
Much of the village lies low in the Tillingbourne valley, where the air stays damp and many gardens are shaded by the beech-covered slopes of the North Downs or the woods that climb towards the Hurtwood. Paving that rarely sees full sun stays wet for days after rain, and that is the ideal home for green algae and moss. By late winter, a patio that looked fine in summer can be as slippery as ice, especially where steps lead down to a lawn or a path follows the side of the house.
The materials themselves are varied. Older cottages in the conservation area often have brick paths, weathered stone flags or cobbled sections that need careful, low-pressure work to avoid loosening joints. Newer homes around the edges of the village tend to have block-paved drives, porcelain patios or concrete hardstanding that can be cleaned more vigorously. Leaf fall from the many surrounding trees also stains paving with brown tannin marks, which a proper clean helps to fade.
Parking and access shape how we work here. Lanes like those around Middle Street are narrow and busy with visitors, so we keep hoses tidy, avoid blocking neighbours and direct runoff carefully away from the road and the river. We provide jet washing and pressure washing throughout GU5, covering Shere itself plus Gomshall, Albury, Peaslake and the hamlets along the A25 corridor.
We take the time to prepare properly so the finish looks even and nothing nearby gets splashed.
We try the pressure on a small, hidden area first to see how the surface reacts, then set the machine and nozzle to suit that stone, brick, block or timber before cleaning the rest.
Doors, windows and planting nearby are shielded from spray. Weeds in the joints are pulled and heavy moss scraped off, so the wash can focus on the ingrained dirt and algae.
A rotary cleaner goes over large flat sections for a consistent finish, and a lance tackles edges, steps and corners. Muddy water is steered to a gully, not onto your flower beds.
Once block paving has dried, we brush new sand into the joints; a biocidal spray follows where you have asked for one. We then rinse down walls and paths so you are left with a tidy finish.

Most hard surfaces around a home can be brought back with the right settings. We regularly clean:
Not sure your surface will cope? A quick picture lets us say yes, no or gently before anything is arranged.
Square metres and material come first, followed by how thick the green growth and weed cover are, whether block paving needs re-sanding, and whether you want a biocide treatment afterwards. Access matters too, especially if hoses need to reach a back garden through a narrow passage. Steps and walls take longer than flat areas. Pictures of each area are all we need to come back with a fixed figure at no charge.
It can if done carelessly, which is why we test first and use low pressure on aged brick, soft sandstone and old flags. The goal is to lift the dirt and algae without eroding the face of the material or loosening the joints.
Yes. That slipperiness is usually a film of algae, common in the shaded and damp gardens of the Tillingbourne valley. A wash scours it off, and following up with a biocide slows the slick layer from coming back.
Black spots are often lichen, which roots into the surface of stone. Pressure washing lightens them, and a biocide treatment continues to work on them over the following weeks. Some very old spots may fade gradually rather than disappear immediately.
Yes, but at lower pressure than block paving or concrete, because tarmac can lose its surface aggregate if washed too hard. We focus on moss, weeds and grime while leaving the surface intact.
We direct runoff towards existing drains and away from borders, lawns and the road. In a village like Shere with the river close by, we take care not to send heavy debris off the property.
Rarely. A working outdoor tap, an outside socket and a route into the garden are enough. Many customers leave a side gate unlocked and we message when we are finished.
