Real Results

Every hard surface, brought back to life

Real jobs across Folkestone and East Kent — driveways, patios and commercial forecourts washed back to their original finish.

Why It Matters

Kent weather is hard on hard surfaces

Damp, salty coastal air lets algae, moss and grime build up fast on anything outdoors — paths go green and slippery, patios darken, driveways lose their colour and walls streak. A proper pressure clean strips all of that back and instantly lifts the look of the whole property.

We cover Folkestone, Hythe, Dover, Ashford, Deal, Hawkinge and the surrounding Kent towns and villages — residential and commercial.

What We Clean

Surfaces we pressure wash

  • Driveways — block paving, concrete, tarmac
  • Patios & paths — slabs, natural stone, porcelain
  • Decking — timber and composite
  • Walls, render & brickwork (soft washed, not blasted)
  • Steps, courtyards and garden walls
  • Commercial forecourts, units and car parks

The Right Method

Pressure washing vs soft washing

Not everything should be blasted with high pressure. Hard surfaces like block paving, concrete and slabs take a proper pressure clean. But delicate surfaces — render, roof tiles and some natural stone — need a low-pressure soft wash with a treatment that kills algae at the root, so the surface is cleaned without being damaged. We use the right method for each surface, every time.

For specific jobs we have dedicated pages: driveway cleaning, patio cleaning, roof cleaning and render & wall cleaning.

How We Work

Our pressure washing process

  1. Assess. We look at each surface and choose pressure or soft wash so it comes up clean without damage.
  2. Pre-treat. Weeds, moss and algae are treated so they lift properly.
  3. Clean. Flat-surface cleaners for an even, stripe-free finish, with lances for edges and detail.
  4. Finish. Block paving is re-sanded, everything is rinsed down, and the site is left tidy.

From a single patio or driveway to commercial forecourts, shop fronts, units and car parks, we work for both homeowners and businesses across Kent. Commercial work can be scheduled out of hours to avoid disruption, and we're fully insured with £5m public liability — certificates on request.

Common Questions

Pressure Washing FAQs

What surfaces can you pressure wash?

Driveways (block paving, concrete, tarmac), patios and paths, timber and composite decking, steps, garden and boundary walls, render and brickwork, and commercial forecourts, units and car parks. Delicate surfaces are soft washed rather than blasted.

What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

Pressure washing uses high pressure and suits hard surfaces like block paving and concrete. Soft washing uses low pressure plus a treatment that kills algae at the root, and is used on delicate surfaces like render and roof tiles so they aren't damaged. We pick the right one for each surface.

Will pressure washing damage my surfaces?

Not when the method is matched to the surface. Blasting render or soft stone with high pressure can wreck it — so we soft wash those instead. Hard surfaces take a normal pressure clean safely.

Do you do commercial pressure washing?

Yes — forecourts, shop fronts, units, car parks and communal areas. We can work out of hours to avoid disrupting your business, and we're fully insured with £5m public liability.

How much does pressure washing cost?

It depends on the surface, the size of the area and how much build-up there is. Quotes are free and no-obligation — send a photo or get in touch for a clear price.

Yes — Sharps Exterior Cleaning is fully insured with £5,000,000 public liability cover and is a Checkatrade-approved member.
