Pressure Washing in Brighton and Hove
Pressure washing (also called jet washing) is high-pressure water cleaning of hard outdoor surfaces — driveways, patios, paths and block paving — to lift moss, algae, oil marks and ground-in dirt and restore the surface's original appearance, priced per square metre or as a fixed job for a defined area.
In Brighton and Hove, that covers Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade. Brighton and Hove is known for its Regency architecture, extensive Victorian terraced housing, and later 20th-century development, all within a compact coastal city where many properties are in conservation areas and a significant number are listed.

Property styles in Brighton and Hove
Regency squares and terraces are concentrated around Brunswick, Kemp Town and the seafront, with dense Victorian terraced housing across much of the wider city, and later suburban housing further from the centre. Basement conversions, loft conversions and rear extensions are common project types on the terraced stock, subject to conservation area and party wall considerations.
Planning considerations
Brighton & Hove City Council is the local planning authority. The city has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas of any local authority in the South East, and many properties are listed, particularly in the Regency squares. Basement work also requires careful consideration of structural and drainage issues in a dense urban setting.

FAQs
Pressure Washing in Brighton and Hove: FAQs
Do you provide pressure washing across all of Brighton and Hove?
Yes, we cover the BN1, BN2 and BN3 postcode areas in full, including Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade.
Will pressure washing damage my block paving or patio?
Not when the pressure is set correctly for the surface — we calibrate this to the material, and for more delicate or aged surfaces we reduce pressure or use an alternative method rather than risk damage.
How long does a cleaned driveway stay moss- and algae-free?
This varies with location, shade and drainage, but re-sanding block paving joints and an optional sealant after cleaning both help slow regrowth compared with cleaning alone — we can advise on both when we visit.
Can I extend a listed Regency property in Brighton?
Alterations to listed buildings require listed building consent in addition to any planning permission, and the historic character of Regency terraces means proposals are considered carefully. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
