Discovering the Beauty Beneath: The Story of Deepwell Jet Wash

Published on 12 January 2025 at 21:42

We’re Jonny and Lu, the husband-and-wife team behind Deepwell Jet Wash. Ours is a story of passion, precision, and an eye for detail that transformed a small idea into an exciting venture. Today, we’re proud to call North Devon home and serve the community by bringing new life to outdoor spaces, one jet wash at a time.

From Gardens to Grime

During a decade running an estate gardening company in Oxfordshire, days were spent meticulously crafting beautiful green spaces—carefully trimming hedges, planting vibrant flower beds, and mowing pristine lawns. But there was always one part of the job that stood out: no matter how lush and perfectly maintained a garden was, something about it always felt incomplete if the hard surfaces weren’t clean. 

A moss-covered patio or a grimy driveway would steal the spotlight and detract from the overall look of the space. It was frustrating to have the results of hard work tarnished by unsightly areas that could be improved so simply.

That realization stuck with me. Over time, I found myself increasingly drawn to jet washing—the satisfaction of blasting away grime and watching dull, neglected surfaces transform into clean, bright ones. It wasn’t long before I started looking forward to those jet-washing jobs the most.

By 2024, we decided it was time for a change. Inspired by a trip with a friend, we laid out a plan to pack up our life in Oxfordshire and move to beautiful North Devon, and after nearly a decade of jet washing as part of our gardening business, we left behind the hedge trimmers and pruning shears to focus entirely on cleaning hard surfaces. It was a bold move, but it felt like the right one. Nestled among its rolling hills and stunning coastline, we set out to create a business that reflected our commitment to excellence and our passion for transforming outdoor spaces. Deepwell Jet Wash was born.

Our mission is simple: to provide professional, reliable jet-washing services that leave every surface spotless and perfectly complement the beauty of its surroundings. We’re equipped to handle projects of all sizes, from private homes to large commercial properties, and we take pride in delivering results that speak for themselves.

Why Jet Washing?

When people ask us why we chose jet washing as our focus, the answer is simple: because we absolutely love it. There’s something deeply satisfying about the transformation we get to witness with every project. Taking a surface that’s been neglected—covered in years of dirt, moss, algae, or oil stains—and restoring it to its original beauty is immensely rewarding. Often, the results go beyond just "clean." Patterns, textures, and even colors that were long hidden emerge as the grime washes away, and it feels like uncovering a treasure. Driveways with intricate brickwork, patios with vibrant tones, or stone paths with natural details suddenly come to life again.

What makes jet washing even more exciting for us is the sheer variety of challenges it presents. Every surface is different—whether it’s block paving, concrete, or natural stone—each requiring a tailored approach. Some projects demand precision to avoid damage, like delicate patio tiles, while others require a more powerful technique to remove stubborn stains. Each job is a puzzle waiting to be solved, and we relish the opportunity to figure out the best solution to achieve perfect results.

But it’s not just about the technical side of things. For us, running Deepwell Jet Wash is about the people we meet and the joy we bring to their lives. A clean driveway or patio might seem like a small thing, but for many of our clients, it’s transformative. Seeing their astonishment when they realize how much brighter, cleaner, and more inviting their outdoor spaces look is one of the best parts of the job. That sense of amazement and gratitude fuels our passion even further. It’s a privilege to be able to provide that "wow" moment for someone, whether it’s a homeowner rediscovering the beauty of their property or a business owner thrilled to present a cleaner, more professional space to their customers.

Of course, we wouldn’t be able to deliver those results without the right tools. Over the years, we’ve invested in top-of-the-line equipment that allows us to work efficiently and effectively. From powerful pressure washers that cut through grime with ease to specialized attachments for intricate cleaning tasks, our gear helps us tackle even the toughest jobs. We also prioritize using eco-friendly cleaning solutions wherever possible, ensuring that our services are not only effective but also environmentally responsible.

Another cornerstone of our work is our commitment to professionalism and transparency. We know that hiring a service can sometimes feel daunting, especially if you’re unsure about what to expect. That’s why we make a point to keep our pricing upfront and clear. Our quotes include everything—equipment, materials, and labor—so there are no surprises or hidden fees. This approach reflects our belief in running an honest, straightforward business that clients can trust.

For us, jet washing isn’t just a business; it’s a craft and a calling. It’s about more than just cleaning surfaces—it’s about creating spaces that people can be proud of, spaces that look inviting and well cared for. It’s also about running a family business that we’re proud to put our name on, one that reflects our values of hard work, honesty, and attention to detail.

Every day brings new challenges, new people, and new opportunities to make a difference in someone’s life, whether that’s by transforming a dull patio into a vibrant outdoor retreat, improving safety by removing slippery moss, or simply giving someone the peace of mind that their home or business looks its absolute best. That’s why we chose jet washing—and why we wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Deepwell SeniorPath Initiative

When we’re not jet washing, we’re usually busy with something else that’s close to our hearts: the Deepwell SeniorPath Initiative. This program is our way of giving back to the community and supporting those who need it most.

Through SeniorPath, we offer free cleaning services for walkways and stairs used by elderly residents. We all know how dangerous slippery surfaces can be, especially for seniors, so we’re committed to doing our part to make North Devon a safer place. By keeping these areas clean and safe, we’re helping to prevent slips and falls and giving peace of mind to families and caregivers.

The SeniorPath Initiative is more than just a cleaning service—it’s a reflection of our values and our belief in the importance of community. We’re proud to offer this service and grateful for the opportunity to make a difference.

Let’s Make It Shine

Looking ahead, we’re excited about the future of Deepwell Jet Wash. Our goal is to continue honing our skills, expanding our services, and finding new ways to serve our community. We’re constantly learning and exploring new techniques, and we’re always on the lookout for ways to improve what we do.

At the same time, we remain committed to the values that have guided us from the start: professionalism, precision, and a genuine passion for transforming outdoor spaces. Whether it’s a small residential project or a large commercial one, we approach every job with the same level of care and attention to detail. 

There’s a real sense of satisfaction in knowing that our work has made a tangible difference, whether it’s improving the safety of a walkway, boosting the curb appeal of a home, or simply giving someone a clean, inviting space to enjoy.

If you’re in North Devon and need a reliable, professional jet-washing service, we’d love to hear from you. Whether it’s your driveway, patio, or any other outdoor surface, we’re here to help. And if you know a senior who could benefit from our SeniorPath Initiative, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thanks for taking the time to read our story. Here’s to a cleaner, brighter future—one jet wash at a time!
