Exterior Cleaning in Brighton & Hove
Brighton and Hove's coastal location creates specific exterior cleaning challenges that inland properties don't face. Salt spray from the sea accelerates algae and black spot growth on driveways, paths, and rendered walls — particularly within half a mile of the seafront. Properties in Hove, Kemptown, and along the Lewes Road corridor often see significant moss growth on north-facing surfaces.
Common exterior cleaning jobs we handle across Brighton & Hove:
- Driveway and path pressure washing — block paving, concrete, tarmac, and natural stone
- Patio cleaning and re-sanding of joints after washing
- Rendered facade washing — removing green algae, black spot, and salt deposits
- Decking revival — removing slippery algae and restoring natural colour
- Fascia board and soffit cleaning alongside fascia maintenance
- Bin store and boundary wall cleaning for Brighton HMOs and rental properties
We use professional hot and cold pressure washing equipment with eco-friendly detergents. For algae-prone surfaces we apply a biocide treatment after washing to slow regrowth — particularly effective on Brighton's damp, north-facing walls.

Frequently Asked Questions — Exterior Cleaning Brighton
How much does driveway cleaning cost in Brighton?
A typical Brighton terrace driveway — 20–30 m² of block paving or concrete — costs £80–£150 to pressure wash. The price depends on the size, surface type, and how heavily soiled it is. Oil stains and heavy moss growth take longer to treat and may be at the higher end. We always confirm the price before starting.
Will pressure washing damage my block paving or concrete?
Not if done correctly. We adjust the pressure and nozzle type to the surface — lower pressure for older block paving and natural stone, higher for concrete. Incorrect technique (too close, too high pressure) can erode pointing and surface texture, which is why hiring a professional rather than a domestic pressure washer makes a real difference.
How long does exterior cleaning last in Brighton's coastal climate?
Typically 12–18 months before visible algae regrowth, depending on aspect and exposure. North-facing surfaces and those close to the seafront regrow faster. We can apply a biocide treatment after washing that significantly slows regrowth — particularly worth it for rendered walls and decking.
Do you clean rendered walls and house facades?
Yes. We use soft-wash technique on rendered facades — lower-pressure application with appropriate detergent — rather than high-pressure blasting that can damage render. We treat the cause (algae, salt deposits) rather than just removing the visible stain. This is particularly effective on Brighton's rendered Victorian and 1930s properties.
Can you clean decking and fences as well as driveways?
Yes — we regularly combine driveway cleaning with decking, fence, and patio cleaning in a single visit, which saves on time and cost. Decking is cleaned at lower pressure to avoid raising the wood grain. Fences are best cleaned before staining or painting, which we can also quote for on the same day.
Do you offer a pressure washing service for landlords and letting agents?
Yes — we work with several Brighton & Hove landlords and letting agencies on end-of-tenancy exterior cleans. We can coordinate directly with tenants, invoice the agent, and provide a dated report with before/after photos for deposit dispute purposes. Call to discuss a regular maintenance schedule.
What is soft washing and when do you use it instead of pressure washing?
Soft washing uses lower water pressure combined with biodegradable detergents to kill and remove algae, mould, and lichen at the source rather than blasting them off. We use it on rendered facades, painted surfaces, roof tiles, and anywhere that high pressure could cause damage. Pressure washing at full force is reserved for concrete, block paving, and tarmac where the surface can handle it.
