Jet washing & Pressure Washing Services Edinburgh
Driveways and patios are among the most common exterior surfaces to require professional pressure washing.
Over time, paving can become affected by algae, moss, dirt, mud, weather staining and general outdoor contamination. Areas that remain damp or shaded can be particularly susceptible to organic growth.
Professional pressure washing can remove accumulated surface contamination and improve the overall appearance of suitable paving and hard surfaces.
For properties where algae or organic growth has become established, we can also consider suitable cleaning solutions and softwashing the surface

Pressure Washing Methods
The most appropriate cleaning method depends on the condition of the surface, the level of contamination and access to the roofline.
Pressure Washing
Pressure washing uses controlled water pressure to remove dirt, algae, moss, grime and other surface contamination from suitable hard surfaces. The pressure level and cleaning technique can be adjusted according to the material and condition of the surface.
Softwashing
Softwashing uses suitable cleaning solutions to help break down organic contamination such as algae, mould and moss. This can be useful where contamination is established or where a lower-pressure approach is more appropriate.
Steam Cleaning
Deep-clean with the power of steam. Effectively removes dirt, grease and grime for a fresh, hygienic finish.
About Edinburgh
Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and one of the country’s most recognisable cities, known for its history, architecture, culture and dramatic landscape. The city has been Scotland’s capital since the 15th century and is built across a distinctive landscape of hills, valleys and volcanic rock, giving Edinburgh its instantly recognisable skyline.
Edinburgh is home to more than half a million people. The 2022 Census recorded 514,512 residents across the City of Edinburgh, while more recent council estimates put the population at around 530,680 in 2024. The population has grown significantly over the past decade, with the council reporting a 9.4% increase between 2014 and 2024.
One of the defining features of the city is the contrast between its medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town. Together, these areas form the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognised for their outstanding historic architecture and distinctive urban design. The Old Town retains its medieval street pattern of narrow closes, wynds and courts, while the New Town is renowned for its planned Georgian streets, squares and neoclassical architecture.
The city is home to some of Scotland’s best-known landmarks and attractions, including Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, St Giles’ Cathedral, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, Arthur’s Seat, Calton Hill, Princes Street and the National Museum of Scotland. Edinburgh Castle sits dramatically on Castle Rock, while the Royal Mile connects the historic castle with the Palace of Holyroodhouse at the foot of the Old Town.
Edinburgh’s built environment reflects centuries of development, with medieval buildings, traditional stone properties, historic tenements, Georgian townhouses, Victorian and Edwardian properties, sandstone buildings, modern homes, apartments, commercial premises and larger public and institutional buildings found throughout the city. Beyond the historic centre, neighbourhoods such as Leith, Stockbridge, Morningside, Corstorphine, Murrayfield, Portobello, Cramond and Liberton contribute to the city’s diverse character.
The city is also internationally recognised for its cultural events and festivals. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Edinburgh International Festival and Edinburgh’s Hogmanay attract visitors from around the world, adding to Edinburgh’s reputation as a major tourism and cultural destination. In 2024, Edinburgh recorded approximately 5 million overnight visits, generating around £2.57 billion in visitor spending.

Edinburgh Pressure Washing Service FAQ
How much does pressure washing cost in Edinburgh?
The cost of pressure washing depends on the size of the area, type of surface, level of dirt or organic growth and accessibility. We provide no-obligation quotes based on the individual requirements of each property.
Do I need to be home when you carry out pressure washing?
Not necessarily. If we have suitable access to the area being cleaned and any required arrangements have been made in advance, you may not need to be at home. We can discuss access arrangements when providing your quote.
Do you need access to a water supply?
This can depend on the location and the type of pressure washing required. We can discuss water access when arranging the work and advise you if anything is required before the cleaning takes place.
Can you pressure wash driveways in Edinburgh?
Yes. We pressure wash suitable driveways throughout Edinburgh, including appropriate block paving, concrete and other hard surfaces. Pressure washing can remove accumulated dirt, algae, moss, mud and general surface contamination.
Can you remove moss and algae with pressure washing?
Pressure washing can remove surface moss, algae and other organic contamination from suitable surfaces. Where appropriate, we may also recommend a suitable cleaning solution or softwashing treatment to help deal with established organic growth.
Can you clean block paving?
Yes. Suitable block paving can be cleaned using professional pressure washing equipment. We take the condition of the paving and joints into consideration when selecting the appropriate cleaning method.
Can pressure washing remove oil and fuel stains?
Pressure washing can help remove some oil, fuel and other staining from suitable hard surfaces. The results can depend on how long the stain has been present, the surface material and how deeply the contamination has penetrated.
Can you pressure wash walls?
Some exterior walls and masonry surfaces can be pressure washed, but the appropriate method depends on the material, condition and type of contamination. In some situations, a lower-pressure cleaning method or softwashing may be more suitable.
Can pressure washing damage paving?
Incorrect pressure or cleaning techniques can potentially damage some surfaces. We assess the surface before cleaning and select suitable pressure levels and equipment based on the material and condition.
Is there much mess when pressure washing?
Pressure washing can move dirt and contaminated water during cleaning. We take care around surrounding areas and carry out appropriate rinsing and cleanup after the work to leave the immediate area as tidy as possible.
How long does pressure washing take?
The time required depends on the size of the area, surface type, level of contamination and access. Smaller domestic areas may be completed relatively quickly, while larger driveways, patios and commercial areas can take longer.
How often should I have my driveway or patio pressure washed?
There is no fixed cleaning schedule because every property is different. The frequency can depend on weather exposure, shade, surrounding trees, foot traffic and how quickly algae, moss and dirt return. Many customers arrange cleaning when visible contamination begins to build up.
How often should I have my driveway or patio pressure washed?
Yes. We provide pressure washing for suitable commercial areas including entrances, paths, yards, communal areas, car parks and other hard surfaces. Commercial cleaning can be arranged as a one-off service or as part of planned property maintenance.
