Pressure washing — also called jet washing or power washing — is the foundation of everything we do at Jet Kings. Over 10 years, we have pressure washed thousands of surfaces across Leicester and Leicestershire, from small front paths in Wigston to large commercial courtyards in the city centre. The difference between a good result and a damaged surface comes down to knowing what pressure to use, which nozzle to fit, and when to switch from pressure to a soft washing approach. Our commercial-grade equipment and experienced technicians mean every surface gets the right treatment — thorough cleaning without the risk of etching, dislodging or water ingress.
Over 10 years of experience, 500+ happy customers, and a method matched to your surface — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every pressure washing job starts with a proper assessment. We check the surface material, its condition, how water drains, and any specific problems like staining or organic growth. Then we choose the right method — not the same setting for every job.
Different surfaces need different pressures, nozzles and treatments. Here is what we work with and how we approach each one for pressure washing in Leicester:
Requires medium pressure and a rotary cleaner. We re-sand joints after washing to stabilise the paving.
Can take higher pressure but needs even coverage to avoid 'tiger stripes'. Degreaser pre-treatment for oil stains.
Lower pressure and wider spray pattern essential to avoid softening or marking the surface.
Pressure must be carefully controlled. We test a small area first and adjust based on how the stone responds.
Wood needs gentle pressure to avoid splintering. We use a fan nozzle and keep the lance moving.
Low to medium pressure with a wide spray. Treated wood may need re-treatment after cleaning.
Leicester properties face particular challenges from the local climate, tree cover and housing types. These are the issues we deal with most often:
The most common issue on Leicester driveways and paths. Our pre-treatment kills the growth and pressure washing removes it completely.
Car leaks, barbecue spills and general grime. Degreaser pre-treatment breaks down the oil before washing.
A problem on commercial paths and public areas. We use steam or targeted pressure to remove without marking the surface.
Years of dirt, pollution and weathering make surfaces look tired. A professional pressure wash restores the original appearance.
We have been cleaning exteriors across Leicester and Leicestershire for over a decade. We know the local housing types, the common problems, and the right approach for each.
Full public liability insurance, trained technicians, and health and safety procedures for every job. We protect your property as carefully as we clean it.
Biodegradable cleaning products that are safe for plants, pets and children once dry. We manage water runoff responsibly and minimise waste.

The cost of pressure washing depends on the size of the area, the surface material, how much moss or staining needs treating, and whether you want optional add-ons like sealing or re-sanding. Here is a rough guide — every quote is tailored to your specific property and comes with no obligation.

Pressure washing costs depend on the area size, surface type and condition. For a typical driveway, prices range from £80-£180. Smaller areas like paths or patios start from around £60. Every quote is free and tailored to your specific property.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to physically blast dirt and growth off hard surfaces. Soft washing uses low pressure and cleaning chemicals (biocides) to kill moss, algae and lichen at the root — better for roofs, render and painted surfaces. We use both methods and choose the right one for each surface.
If done incorrectly, yes — too much pressure or holding the lance too close can etch concrete, dislodge block paving or erode soft stone. That is why we assess each surface first and adjust pressure and technique accordingly. Our experience means we get a thorough clean without damage.
We use biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaning agents for pre-treating stubborn stains, moss and algae. These are safe for plants, pets and children once dry. For most cleans, hot or cold water pressure is sufficient on its own.
A standard two-car driveway takes 2-4 hours. Larger areas, multiple surfaces, or heavy moss/ staining will take longer. We will give you a time estimate as part of your quote.
We bring our own equipment but do need access to an outside tap. If you do not have an outside tap, let us know when booking and we can discuss alternatives.
Yes. We regularly pressure wash commercial driveways, car parks, paths, loading areas and building exteriors for businesses across Leicester. We can work outside business hours and provide full insurance documentation.
Spring and summer are most popular, but we work year-round. Pressure washing is effective in any season as long as temperatures are above freezing. Many customers book in spring to clean up after winter, or in autumn before the wet weather sets in.
