Jet Washing Reading
Driveways, Patios, Yards and External Drainage Surfaces
Moss, algae and grime do not just look poor - around a drain gully they restrict surface water drainage and become a genuine slip hazard. Precision Draincare provides external jet washing for driveways, patios, paths and commercial hard standing across Reading and the surrounding Berkshire and West London area.
What We Jet Wash
Jet Washing vs Drain Jetting - What Is the Difference?
Both use high-pressure water, but they solve two completely different problems. Here is how to tell which one you need.
Jet Washing = Surfaces
Cleans the outside of hard surfaces - driveways, patios, paths, yards. This page.
Drain Jetting = Pipes
Clears the inside of drain pipes - fat, scale, roots, blockages. See drain jetting.
Gullies Can Need Both
Jet washing clears the visible gully and surface. If the pipe below is blocked, that is a drain jetting job.
Not Sure Which You Need?
Call us and describe the problem. We will tell you honestly which service actually fixes it.

How Jet Washing Restores Your Driveway, Patio or Yard
We assess the surface material first - block paving, concrete, natural stone, resin-bound gravel and older or softer surfaces all need a different pressure setting to clean effectively without causing damage or dislodging jointing sand and grout.
A surface cleaner attachment or handheld lance is then used to systematically work across the area, lifting moss, algae, grime and general weathering from the surface. Around external gullies, we clear the visible debris and confirm the gully itself is draining freely before we finish.
- Surface material assessed first to set the correct pressure
- Systematic coverage of the full driveway, patio or yard area
- Removes moss, algae, grime and general surface weathering
- External gullies cleared and checked for free drainage
- Suitable for residential and commercial hard standing
What Jet Washing Removes From Reading and Berkshire Surfaces
Different surfaces and locations accumulate different types of build-up over time.
The most common build-up on shaded or damp driveways and patios, and the main cause of slippery surfaces.
Years of traffic, weather and general use dulling the appearance of a driveway, patio or yard surface.
Autumn leaf fall and general garden debris that collects around gullies and low points on hard surfaces.
Mud tracked from vehicles or debris left over from building or landscaping work on driveways and yards.
Oil staining and general vehicle residue on driveways, car parks and commercial loading bays.
Mineral staining around outdoor taps and drainage points caused by hard water run-off over time.
Weeds establishing in paving joints, which jet washing disturbs and clears alongside the general surface clean.
Leaves, mud and grit restricting surface water drainage at the gully itself, contributing to localised flooding.

What Reading and Berkshire Customers Say About Our Jet Washing
"Our block paving driveway had years of moss build-up and was genuinely slippery when wet. Jet washed it back to almost new condition and cleared the gully at the same time."
"Called about a jet wash for our patio and they were upfront that our recurring garden flooding was actually a blocked pipe below the gully, not a surface issue. Sorted both properly."
"We manage a small industrial estate and needed the yard and loading bays cleaned before a health and safety inspection. Professional job, done on schedule."
