Limitations & Specialist Requests

We aim to be clear about what we can and cannot safely deliver.

  • Delicate or damaged substrates: Some natural stones, grouted joints or painted/rendered finishes may not suit high pressure. We can apply lower-pressure or soft-wash methods, or advise against treatment.
  • Height and access: Elevated areas require safe access solutions. Where towers or platforms are needed, we’ll provide a bespoke quote.
  • Heavy oil, paint and rust: These stains may not fully lift with pressure alone. We can attempt targeted treatments, but results vary by surface and age of stain.
  • Sealing: We don’t routinely apply sealants, but we do provide sealing prep. If you require sealing, we can discuss timings, drying windows and refer to trusted partners where appropriate.
  • Water and drainage: We’ll need access to an outdoor tap and safe drainage. Limited water supply or poor run-off may require adjustments.
  • Fragile features: We avoid washing near loose pointing, cracked render, electrical points, pond liners or low-set door thresholds without precautions.

If your project falls outside standard scope, we’re happy to assess and provide a specific plan or introduce specialist partners. For complex or mixed-material sites, our how it works page outlines what to expect.

How It Works

  1. Enquiry and advice
    Share what you’d like cleaned, approximate area, surface types and any concerns (e.g., oil stains, wobbly slabs). Send photos if possible. You can start via get a quote or contact.

  2. Quotation
    We provide a clear estimate based on the scope, access and likely duration. For larger or multi-surface sites, we may recommend a short site visit.

  3. Booking and preparation
    We agree a date and arrival window. We’ll confirm water access, parking and any items to move beforehand (pots, furniture, ornaments). If needed, we can help move heavier items.

  4. On the day
    Our team sets up hoses and equipment, protects nearby areas as appropriate, and carries out jet washing or soft-wash steps suited to each surface. We work methodically to remove algae and moss safely, lift dirt and improve overall appearance.

  5. Rinse, tidy and walkthrough
    We rinse down, sweep loosened debris and check for standing water. Together we review the results and highlight any areas that may benefit from re-sanding (for block paving) or further treatment.

  6. Aftercare and optional extras
    We can provide drying guidance to prepare hard surfaces for sealing and advice on maintenance frequency. If re-sanding is needed for block paving, we can include it in the quote or schedule as a follow-up.

Pricing Guide

Pressure washing prices depend on:

  • Total area and complexity (steps, edging, narrow access).
  • Surface material and condition (porous stone, timber, heavy lichen).
  • Pre-treatment needs for algae, moss or oil spots.
  • Access, water supply, parking and hose run distance.
  • Frequency of maintenance and how often the area is cleaned.

We can price per job or provide a surface cleaning price per square metre where appropriate. For an accurate estimate, please see our pricing page or request a tailored quote via get a quote.

Quality, Safety & Compliance

  • Trained operatives: Our team is experienced with pressure and flow settings suited to different materials, from softwood decking to porcelain tiles.
  • Method-first approach: We match the method to the surface—jet washing where appropriate, and soft-wash or chemical assists when high pressure could damage joints or coatings.
  • Equipment: Commercial-grade machines, rotary surface cleaners for uniform results, wands for edges, and low-pressure rinsing to protect grout and pointing.
  • Risk assessment: We assess slip hazards, electrical points, drainage and neighbouring property risks before starting.
  • Environmental care: We minimise chemical use, manage run-off responsibly and avoid contaminating planted beds where possible.
  • Insurance and assurances: We’re fully insured for our activities. Learn more at insurance. We provide practical guidance rather than unrealistic promises—especially around historic stains or fragile substrates.

FAQs

  • Which surfaces can you clean?
    Most hard landscaping: patios, paths, block paving, imprinted concrete, resin, tarmac, decking, steps and garden walls. We’ll advise on delicate or painted finishes.

  • Will pressure washing damage my patio or decking?
    Used correctly, no. We adjust pressure, nozzles and technique to the surface. For vulnerable materials or loose pointing, we may use a gentler approach.

  • Can you remove black spots, algae and moss?
    We can remove algae and moss safely on most surfaces. Black spot (lichen) may require treatments and may not fully lift in one visit; we’ll advise on realistic outcomes.

  • Do you re-sand block paving?
    Yes, we can include kiln-dried re-sanding once the paving is dry. We’ll discuss timing during the walkthrough.

  • Do I need to move furniture and pots?
    Please move smaller items beforehand if you can. We can help relocate heavier items—just let us know in advance.

  • What about water access and drainage?
    An external tap is ideal. We assess run-off and take steps to protect planting and neighbouring areas.

  • How soon can I walk or drive on the area?
    Once it’s rinsed and surface water has drained, foot traffic is usually fine. For driveways or after treatments/re-sanding, we’ll advise suitable timings.

  • Can you prepare surfaces for sealing?
    Yes, we provide sealing prep including thorough clean, guidance on drying times and the right window for sealant application.
