Modern Slavery Statement — Driveway Jet Washing Services

Team preparing pressure washer for driveway cleaningWe, as a company providing driveway jet washing and related driveway cleaning services, declare a zero-tolerance policy toward modern slavery, human trafficking and forced labour across our operations. This statement sets out how our driveway pressure washing and jet-wash teams identify, prevent and respond to risks, and how we ensure that our workforce and supply chain are free from exploitation.

Our Commitment and Scope

We are committed to ethical labour practices in every area of our driveway power washing business. Our commitment applies to all employees, subcontractors and suppliers who supply goods and services to our driveway cleaning and jet washing driveways activities. We ensure that employment is freely chosen, working hours are reasonable, and pay meets minimum legal requirements.

To the left of the boots, there is a bunch of vibrant yellow sunflowers and other assorted garden flowers, adding natural colour tones to the scene. On the right side, a metal watering can with a spout and handle is placed, partially visible alongside a green plant in a pot. The background shows a lush, green, blurred garden environment with trees and foliage, suggesting a well-maintained outdoor space suitable for gardening activities. The scene reflects an outdoor gardening environment, highlighting tools and floral elements that support garden care and maintenance services, which could be linked with landscaping or garden upkeep efforts in the local area around SE13 or nearby London suburbs.To reinforce this, we require all recruitment to follow transparent procedures, and we prohibit retention of passports or other identity documents. Our teams are trained to recognise signs of exploitation on-site during pressure washing or when working at clients' premises, and to escalate concerns immediately to management.

Supplier Due Diligence and Audits

We carry out risk-based supplier audits and assessments for every supplier involved in our driveway jet washing supply chain, including equipment providers, cleaning chemical suppliers and labour suppliers. Audits include documentary checks, on-site visits and interviews where necessary. Key audit elements include:

  • Verification of legal employment status and right to work
  • Review of wage payment records and working hours
  • Assessment of recruitment fees and third-party labour arrangements

A gardener stands in a well-maintained backyard garden with a neatly trimmed hedge on the right side and a lush lawn in the foreground. The garden features a combination of grass with a dense, green lawn area and border planting beds along the edges. In the background, there are young trees and mature shrubs contributing to a natural, landscaped environment. The lawn appears healthy and evenly cut, while the paving and wooden decking areas are clean and well-kept. The weather is mild with soft natural light, highlighting the vibrant green tones of the plants. The scene reflects outdoor maintenance and gardening activities typical of professional landscaping services in the local area, and it subtly supports SEO signals related to gardening and lawn care offered by Driveway jet washing or similar local companies.If issues are identified, we require corrective action plans and follow-up audits. Persistent non-compliance leads to termination of supply contracts. We use a graded approach that prioritises higher-risk suppliers, such as those supplying casual or seasonal staff for intensive jet-washing campaigns.

Our procurement policy mandates supplier declarations and contractual clauses that prohibit forced labour. We require suppliers to demonstrate compliance with labour standards and to permit reasonable access for audit teams. We also provide supplier training to raise awareness of modern slavery risks specific to driveway cleaning operations and jet-washing services.

The image depicts a close-up view of a garden scene with a foreground of lush, green grass and two metal buckets placed on the ground. One bucket contains various gardening tools including a small hand rake, a trowel, and a pruning shear, along with a ball of natural-colored twine. The other bucket holds a clump of fresh, vibrant green grass or plants. In the background, there is a warm-toned wooden surface, likely a fence or garden shed, contributing to a natural and inviting outdoor environment. The scene suggests a well-maintained garden, possibly in the process of planting or yard maintenance, highlighting elements common in home garden care and landscaping services in the local area, such as SE13 in London. The lighting indicates a bright, possibly sunny day, enhancing the natural appeal of the garden setting, and underscoring the importance of professional gardening and outdoor lawn care services provided by companies like Driveway jet washing and local garden specialists.Reporting channels are available to all workers, subcontractors and stakeholders to raise concerns without fear of retaliation. These channels include internal reporting lines, confidential reporting to designated safeguarding officers, and anonymous hotlines where appropriate. We encourage immediate reporting of suspected abuse, unsafe practices or coercive employment.

Bright sunlight illuminates the scene, creating a lively and inviting outdoor atmosphere suitable for garden maintenance and landscaping services in the local area.All reports are treated seriously; we investigate promptly and, where necessary, refer matters to relevant authorities. We support victims through remedial measures and collaborate with NGOs and enforcement agencies when incidents require specialist intervention.

Training and awareness form a core part of our approach. All staff involved in driveway pressure washing operations receive regular training on recognising exploitation, understanding reporting procedures and supporting vulnerable individuals. Management undergoes enhanced due diligence training to monitor supplier performance.

We maintain records of audits, training attendance and investigations. These records are reviewed to identify trends and to improve our policies and procedures. Our procurement and compliance teams work together to integrate modern slavery risk assessment into tendering and contract management activities.

We will continue to develop and refine our approach to combatting modern slavery across all aspects of our driveway cleaning and pressure washing operations. We commit to collaborating with industry partners, suppliers and civil society to share best practice and raise standards throughout the sector.

Annual Review and Continuous Improvement

We undertake an annual review of this Modern Slavery Statement and of the effectiveness of our policies, audits and reporting mechanisms. The review considers audit outcomes, incident reports, supplier compliance and evolving legal requirements.

Following each review we update risk assessments and action plans, and we publish summary outcomes internally to ensure transparency and accountability. Through ongoing monitoring and improvement, we seek to ensure that our driveway jet washing, driveway cleaning and jet-washing driveways services remain free from modern slavery.
