We do not yet have enough completed pressure washing tasks in the UK to publish real price data, so the figures below are our editorial estimate from market rates. They will be replaced with platform data as soon as we have enough jobs.
What you get for that
Driveways, patios, decking and paths.
Typical jobs and what they go for
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Patio or path, up to 30 square metres | £90 to £160 |
| Driveway, 40 to 60 square metres | £160 to £300 |
| Driveway plus re-sanding and sealing | £350 to £700 |
What changes the price for pressure washing
- Area in square metres. Almost always quoted by area, with a minimum call-out.
- Surface type. Block paving needs re-sanding afterwards. Natural stone and render need lower pressure and more care.
- How bad the growth is. Thick moss or years of algae needs treatment before washing, not just more pressure.
- Water and drainage. An outside tap on site keeps it cheap. Bringing a bowser costs more.
What is usually included
- Machine, labour and standard detergent
- Clearing loose debris after
And what is usually not
- Kiln-dried sand and sealant, usually quoted separately
- Repairs to loose or sunken blocks
- Gutter or roof work
The one thing that saves the most money
Get the re-sanding quoted at the same time. Washing block paving strips the jointing sand, and paving left un-sanded loosens and grows weeds again within a season.

Common questions
How much does pressure washing cost in the UK?
$80 to $250 for most jobs, with a median of $165. We do not yet have enough completed pressure washing tasks in the UK to publish real price data, so the figures below are our editorial estimate from market rates. They will be replaced with platform data as soon as we have enough jobs.
What makes pressure washing more expensive?
Size and access are the two biggest factors, followed by urgency. Same-day and weekend work carries a premium, and anything above ground-floor level or requiring specialist equipment costs more. Materials, waste disposal and parking are often quoted separately, so check what is included.
How do I get an accurate price?
Post the job with photos, measurements and access details, and you will get fixed-price offers rather than estimates. Posting is free and there is no booking fee, so comparing three or four offers costs you nothing.
Should I pay per hour or a fixed price?
A fixed price for the whole job puts the risk of it overrunning on the tasker rather than on you. That is why every offer on Taskerama is a fixed total.
