Newcastle back yards and small patios are often shaded by high walls, which keeps them damp and green through most of the year. A flagged yard can turn slippery in weeks. We pressure wash with the nozzle and pressure matched to the flags, brick or block, so the surface comes up clean without being cut into.
Front driveways in the suburbs get oil marks, moss in the joints and weeds along the edges. Once washed, block paving can be re-sanded, and treatment or a sealer helps it stay cleaner for longer.
Where a surface is too soft or old for pressure, such as some natural stone, we soft wash it instead.
Back yards, steps and paths
Behind a typical Newcastle terrace is a walled yard that hardly sees the sun. Algae and black spotting thrive there, and the flags or concrete turn slippery, which is a real concern on steps down to a back door. We wash these yards with pressure and nozzle chosen for the surface, and we take care around drains and the base of walls so dirty water is not left pooling.
Front paths and steps on older houses are often natural stone or old brick. These can be softer than modern paving, so where pressure would damage the surface we use a low pressure soft wash instead, which removes the growth without cutting into the stone.
Driveways and patios in the suburbs
Further out, block paving driveways and patios are the main jobs. Washing lifts the jointing sand out of block paving, so re-sanding is part of the work where needed, and a sealer can be added to slow down how quickly weeds and algae come back. Decking and fencing can be washed on the same visit. Commercial premises such as yards and shop frontages are part of our work too.
