Jet Washing New Builds for Persimmon Homes

Persimmon Homes housing development Buttercup Leys in Derby, is a landmark residential project spanning 375 acres and delivering more than 1,000 houses. Brooklands Service Group have been contracted on the development since construction started for over ten year period providing specialist jet washing services to ensure every property was presented at its best for new buyers.

Challenge

During construction, brickwork and external surfaces inevitably accumulate mortar snots, dust, and general debris. On a project of this scale, maintaining a consistent, high-quality finish across hundreds of homes was essential. For Persimmon Homes, kerb appeal and first impressions were critical to buyer confidence, making professional jet washing a key part of the handover process.

Our Approach

We delivered jet washing services across multiple phases of the development, working closely with site managers to align with construction schedules. Our process involved using pressure washing techniques to safely and effectively remove mortar residue, dust, and construction debris from brickwork and external surfaces.

Each home was treated individually, ensuring a uniform finish across the entire site. By integrating our work into the build programme, we avoided delays and ensured homes were ready for presentation as soon as construction was complete.

Results

The jet washing programme transformed the appearance of the homes, enhancing kerb appeal and reinforcing the quality of the build.

Buyers were welcomed by properties with clean, sharp brickwork and immaculate external finishes. Persimmon Homes benefitted from consistent presentation across all phases of the project, strengthening their reputation and reducing the need for remedial cleaning after handover. Over ten years, our services contributed to the successful delivery of a thriving community that reflected care and attention to detail.

Jet washing is not simply a finishing touch, it is an essential step in presenting new builds to buyers. Large-scale developments require a phased, strategic approach to cleaning, and professional jet washing ensures consistency, efficiency, and buyer satisfaction. Attention to detail in external presentation builds trust and reinforces the reputation of the developer.

Our decade-long partnership with Persimmon Homes at Buttercup Leys demonstrates the importance of jet washing in large-scale residential developments. By ensuring every home was presented with pristine brickwork and clean external finishes, we helped Persimmon deliver a community that reflects quality, care, and attention to detail—key factors in attracting and retaining buyers.
