Is pressure washing safe for garden walls?

It can be, but walls need a much gentler approach than driveways. We use a soft-wash technique on render, brick and painted walls rather than direct high-pressure jetting, to avoid damaging paintwork or pointing.

What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

Pressure washing uses concentrated water pressure to physically strip dirt and growth off a surface. Soft washing uses lower pressure combined with a cleaning solution, usually a biocide, to treat algae and moss more gently - better suited to walls, render and delicate surfaces.

Will you need access to my water supply?

Yes, we typically connect to an outside tap. If your property doesn't have one, let us know in advance and we'll discuss options rather than finding out on the day.

Can you pressure wash in winter?

Yes, though we adjust technique in colder conditions - lower pressure and extra care around jointing that may be softened by frost, and we'll avoid days where freezing overnight could cause issues with standing water.

Pressure washing strips all of that back to the original surface without guesswork. We match the pressure and technique to what we're cleaning - driveway, patio, path, yard or wall - so the dirt comes off and the surface underneath doesn't.

Not every surface takes the same pressure. Block paving and stone can generally take a firm clean; tarmac needs a much gentler setting to avoid disturbing the aggregate; render and painted walls need something gentler still. Getting that wrong is how surfaces get damaged rather than cleaned.

Exposed and higher-ground properties

Properties on higher, more exposed ground get more wind-driven rain and generally less shelter, which keeps surfaces wetter for longer after weather and speeds up the algae cycle even where sun exposure is decent.

Wind is also a practical factor on the day - we adjust spray pattern and working position to keep run-off and overspray under control on more exposed driveways and patios.

Homeowners

Keeping on top of it, not starting from scratch each time

Once a driveway or patio has had a proper deep clean, an annual or biennial top-up wash keeps it looking right without ever letting things build back up to the same state. We're happy to set up a repeat visit at a time that suits rather than waiting for it to get bad again.

Block paving and concrete block driveways

Block paving generally takes a firm rotary clean well, but the jointing sand between blocks is the part that's easiest to damage - too much pressure held too close washes it straight out. We clean at a pressure that lifts algae and grime without stripping the joints, and offer re-sanding afterwards where they've thinned.
