A new local business, doing it properly from the start

Who you are dealing with

JT Cleaning Services is run by Jazz, based in Darwen. When you ring the number on this site, that is who answers, and that is who turns up and does the work. There is nobody in the middle.

The business is new, and there is no point pretending otherwise. What that means in practice is straightforward: every job matters more than it would to somebody with a twenty year order book, and the reputation is being built one driveway at a time. It also means the prices are sharp and the diary has room in it.

Why local actually matters here

Search for jet washing in Darwen or Blackburn and most of the first page is not local at all. They are national websites with a page automatically generated for every town in the country, and their business model is collecting your details and selling them to whoever is nearest. You end up dealing with a stranger anyway, having gone through a middleman who took a cut.

This is a Darwen business covering the towns around it. If something is not right you can get hold of the person who did the work, and he is ten minutes away rather than in a call centre.

How the work gets done

The equipment and method get matched to the surface rather than the other way round. Block paving gets a rotary cleaner and fresh kiln-dried sand in the joints afterwards. Render and roofs get soft washed, because high pressure destroys both. Old stone and timber get eased rather than blasted. It is slower than pointing a lance at everything, and it is the difference between a job that lasts and one that causes damage.

You get before and after photos on every visit, including inside the gutters where you cannot check for yourself. Everything is quoted as a fixed price before it starts.
