Areas we cover

How we do it

We clean with a pressure washer, which needs water and a power socket. Normally it runs from your outside tap, and if you do not have one we have attachments that connect to a kitchen sink instead. Pressure and nozzle are matched to the surface, so block paving, slabs, concrete and timber decking each get what they can take without being damaged. We work across the whole area in even passes, so the finish is level with no patches left behind.

Moss, weeds and algae come off along with the dirt. Cars and furniture need to be moved off the area before we arrive.

Please note that pressure washing can expose weaknesses that were already there. Joints between paving that are weak or brittle can blow out, and timber decking in poor condition can be marked or damaged on the surface. We do not repair or replace cement joints, or repair decking, and this is a risk the customer accepts when booking. If you are worried about the condition of an area, tell us when you send your photos.

On block paving we also offer to re-sand the joints once it is clean, which helps hold the blocks in place and keeps weeds from coming back. Ask for it when you send your photos.

A cleaned driveway, patio or deck usually stays looking good for a year or more. Shaded areas and those under trees turn green faster.

Pressure washing: common questions

Will pressure washing damage my paving?

There is always some risk with paving, so we take precautions. We match the pressure and nozzle to the surface, and where the joints are cement we work close to them without going directly over them, as strong pressure can blow cement joints out. Joints that are already weak or brittle can still blow out, and we do not repair or replace cement joints: that is a risk the customer accepts when booking. On block paving, some of the sand between the blocks can wash out, which is normal. We offer re-sanding of the joints as a service, so the blocks are locked back in place and the finish looks complete.

Can you re-sand block paving?

Yes, we offer re-sanding of block paving joints as part of the service. Pressure washing can lift some of the sand out of the joints, and fresh sand locks the blocks back in place and helps keep weeds from returning. Just ask for it when you send your photos.

Can you pressure wash decking?

Yes. Timber decking is cleaned at a lower pressure than paving so the wood is not damaged. Cleaning removes the green algae that makes decking slippery, and leaves it ready to re-stain or treat if you want to. If the timber is already in poor condition, pressure washing can damage the surface, even at a lower pressure. We do not repair decking, and the customer accepts that risk when booking. Tell us when you send your photos if the wood is old, soft or splintering.

How long does a pressure-washed driveway stay clean?

Usually a year or more. Areas in shade or under trees turn green faster than those in full sun.

Do I need to be home for pressure washing?

No, as long as we can use an outside tap and a power socket, and cars and furniture are moved off the area to be cleaned before we arrive. If a gate has a lock or keypad, we are happy to take the access code in advance.

Do you need water and power from me?

Yes. The pressure washer runs from your mains water and needs a power socket. We normally use an outside tap. If you do not have one, we have attachments that connect to a kitchen sink, so mention it when you send your photos.
