Service Overview
Understanding pressure washing
What it is
High-pressure water cleaning of hard exterior surfaces using rotary cleaners that deliver an even, stripe-free finish across block paving, slabs, tarmac, concrete, stone and brick. Heat-injection available for oil, grease and chewing gum.
Who it's for
Homeowners with stained, mossy or weed-infested hard surfaces; landlords prepping for tenancy change; commercial property managers needing clean forecourts and car parks.
When you need it
Spring to early autumn for best drying conditions. Hot-water cleans work year-round including frost periods. Best done before any re-sanding, sealing or refinishing.
Why professional help matters
Hand-held pressure washers leave 'tiger stripes' — overlap marks that take a year of weathering to disappear. Rotary surface cleaners use two synchronised jets in a closed housing, delivering a perfectly even finish.
If left untreated
The cost of doing nothing.
- Weed root left in joints breaks through within 3 months — every season the problem doubles.
- Algae biofilm on slabs is the #1 cause of slip-and-fall claims at homes and businesses.
- Oil-stained driveways knock 2–5% off kerb-appeal valuations.
- Ground-in moss holds moisture against block paving and accelerates freeze-thaw cracking.
Common mistakes
What we see go wrong.
- Hiring the cheapest quote with a hand-wand — every overlap shows for a year.
- Skipping the joint re-sand — kiln-dried sand stabilises blocks and prevents weed regrowth.
- Pressure-washing tarmac at full power and stripping the binder.
- DIY-ing it — most domestic units take 6 hours to do what we do in 90 minutes.
Our Process
A predictable system, from first call to clean-up
- 01
Inspection
Surface assessment — paving type, joint condition, contamination level, drainage.
- 02
Pre-Treatment
Biocide or degreaser applied where needed, 10-minute dwell to lift biofilm or oil.
- 03
Rotary Clean
Industrial rotary surface cleaner walked methodically across the surface for an even finish.
- 04
Detail Pass
Hand-wand used for edges, kerbs, steps and corners no rotary can reach.
- 05
Re-Sand & Seal (optional)
Kiln-dried sand swept into block paving joints; sealant applied if booked.
The Benefits
What you actually get for the money.
Even finish, no stripes
Rotary tech gives a uniform clean a hand-wand simply cannot.
Restores grip and safety
Removes the algae biofilm that causes most outdoor slips.
Adds visual years to paving
Customers consistently mistake cleaned drives for re-laid ones.
Optional sealing extends results
Joint stabiliser sealant helps protect the finish and slow weed regrowth.
Hot water for tough jobs
Oil, grease, chewing gum and grease all lifted thermally.
Fully insured — £5m cover
Public liability cover up to £5 million. Slurry runoff managed and disposed of responsibly.
Deep Detail
The technical bit — for the people who like to know
Block paving specifics
Marshalls, Brett, Tobermore and Bradstone blocks all respond well. We use the right pressure to clean without dishing the surface. Joint sand re-applied after cleaning is essential — without it, blocks loosen and weeds return.
Patios and slabs
Indian sandstone, porcelain, riven concrete and limestone each take a different setting. Sandstone needs lower pressure to avoid pitting; porcelain handles full power but joints need detail-wand work.
Tarmac and concrete
Tarmac washed at lower pressure with surface cleaner to avoid stripping bitumen binder. Concrete handles full pressure and rotary tools.
Residential vs commercial
Residential drives, patios and paths quoted by m². Commercial forecourts, car parks and loading bays priced by area + access. Out-of-hours scheduling for retail and office sites.
