Professional Jetwashing in Dorking (RH4/RH5)
We provide professional jetwashing services throughout Dorking and the surrounding Surrey Hills area. This beautiful market town features many period properties and larger homes that benefit from expert exterior cleaning.
From Dorking town centre to Box Hill, Westcott, North and South Holmwood, we understand the care needed for properties in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Dorking sits in the Mole Valley, surrounded by the Surrey Hills AONB. This sheltered position creates a particularly damp microclimate, with higher-than-average rainfall and persistent moisture that accelerates moss, algae, and lichen growth on outdoor surfaces. Properties near Box Hill, along the Westcott Road, and through the Holmwoods are especially affected by organic growth.
Many Dorking properties feature natural stone driveways, period brickwork, and Indian sandstone patios that require specialist cleaning techniques. We adjust our pressure settings and cleaning solutions to match each surface type, ensuring thorough cleaning without damage to these often valuable materials.
Why Dorking Properties Need Regular Cleaning
The local environment creates specific challenges for Dorking homeowners:
- Heavy moss and lichen growth: The sheltered Mole Valley position, combined with mature trees throughout the town's conservation areas, creates heavy shade and damp conditions ideal for aggressive moss and lichen growth
- Natural stone care requirements: Dorking's period and character properties often feature York stone, Indian sandstone, or local stone patios that need pH-neutral cleaners and controlled pressure to avoid etching and discolouration
- Leaf staining and organic debris: Properties near the Deepdene Trail, Ranmore Common, and Box Hill experience significant leaf fall that stains driveways and patios with tannins if not swept regularly
- Render and painted surfaces: Both older and newer Dorking properties frequently have rendered walls that attract green algae, requiring soft wash treatment rather than high-pressure cleaning
- Rural property access: Properties in outlying villages like Westcott, Mickleham, and Brockham sometimes have longer driveways and more extensive paved areas requiring commercial-grade equipment

Yes, we serve all areas within the RH4 and RH5 postcodes including Box Hill, Westcott, Holmwood, Brockham, and Betchworth. Dorking is well within our 20-mile service radius from our base in Reigate.
Can you clean natural stone patios in the Dorking area?
Absolutely. Many Dorking properties feature Indian sandstone, York stone, and other natural stone patios. We use appropriate low-pressure techniques and specialist cleaning solutions to restore natural stone without causing damage or surface etching.
Why do Dorking driveways get so much moss and algae?
Dorking sits in the Mole Valley surrounded by the Surrey Hills, creating a sheltered, damp microclimate that encourages moss, algae, and lichen growth. Properties near wooded areas or on north-facing slopes are particularly affected. Regular pressure washing prevents this growth from causing permanent surface damage.
