We treat each area on its own terms rather than running the same setting over everything, which is how surfaces end up damaged rather than restored.

When did you last see the actual colour of your driveway? For a lot of homes in Hetton-le-Hole it's been a while - block paving, tarmac and concrete all darken gradually under a film of algae and grime until the original shade is barely a memory.

Black streaks creeping up a driveway, green slime pooling in the shady corner of a patio, moss pushing up between block paving joints - it starts small and then, seemingly overnight, the whole surface looks tired and neglected, even when the house itself is well kept.

Pressure washing near Hetton-le-Hole

As well as Hetton-le-Hole itself, we regularly cover the surrounding area including Houghton-le-Spring, Murton, Dalton le Dale and Silksworth, so if you're just outside Hetton-le-Hole's boundary it's still very much within reach.

Being based in Washington with a working radius of around 45 miles means none of this is out-of-the-way work for us - it's the core of what we cover week to week.

Parking and vehicle access during the job

We ask that vehicles are moved off the driveway or area being cleaned before we arrive where possible, since it lets us cover the whole surface in one pass rather than working around a parked car.

For patios and yards behind the house, side access wide enough for a hose and equipment is normally all that's needed - we'll ask about this when confirming the booking.

Natural stone patios and paths

  • Sandstone, limestone and similar natural stone need a more measured approach than manufactured paving - some stone is soft enough to mark under high pressure held too close. We work at moderate pressure with more passes rather than raw power, protecting both the stone face and the pointing between flags.

Dealing with oil, rust or organic staining

  1. 1

    Identify the stain type

    Oil, rust and organic staining (algae, sap, leaf tannin) each respond to different treatments, so we work out what we're dealing with first.

  2. 2

    Apply targeted pre-treatment

    A suitable degreaser or biocide is applied directly to the stained area and left to work before washing begins.

  3. 3

    Pressure wash the treated area

    Once the treatment has had time to work, the area is washed at a pressure appropriate to the surface.

  4. 4

    Assess and repeat if needed

    Deep or old staining sometimes needs a second treatment - we'll tell you honestly if full removal isn't realistic in one visit.

  5. 5

    Blend with surrounding surface

    The treated area is washed to match the rest of the surface so there's no visible patch where the stain used to be.
