High Pressure Cleaning
Block paving
Block paving cleaning and re-sanding is an essential part of maintaining the appearance and functionality of your outdoor space. Pressure cleaning is a highly effective method for removing weeds and dirt from the surface of your block paving.
However, it is important to note that pressure cleaning alone may not be sufficient for removing black lichen stains and spores.
Sodium Hypochlorite Soft Wash is applied to tackle stubborn stains and restore the original look of your block paving.
Additionally, oil and tar stains can be treated, ensuring that your block paving is free from unsightly marks and spills. This process helps to remove most stains, maintaining the overall cleanliness and attractiveness of your outdoor area.
Re-sanding is another crucial step in block paving maintenance. We use high-quality kiln dried sand to fill the gaps between the blocks, providing stability and preventing weed growth. This process also helps to enhance the overall durability and longevity of your block paving.
If necessary, a second re-sand can be performed as part of our comprehensive service. This ensures that all gaps are properly filled, leaving your block paving looking pristine and well-maintained.
Although a commercial pressure cleaning system can remove up to 95% of seasonal weeds, it may not eliminate all the roots, especially perennial weeds.
Therefore, it is essential for the customer to follow up with additional measures to prevent regrowth. Regular maintenance and monitoring are necessary to ensure a weed-free environment.

Under Pressure can safely restore these areas using our 20" surface cleaner, using to much pressure on asphalt can damage the surface so a surface cleaner is used at a reduced pressure.
Brickwork
Brickwork is a popular choice for construction due to its durability and aesthetic appeal.
However, over time, it is common for brick surfaces to accumulate various types of deposits such as lichen, moss, calcium lime, and efflorescence.
To restore the brickwork's original beauty, pressure and chemical cleaning methods are often employed.
Pressure cleaning involves using high-pressure water jets to remove stubborn deposits from the surface of the bricks. This method is effective in dislodging lichen and moss, which tend to cling onto the brickwork.
The force of the water helps to break down these organic growths, leaving the bricks clean and free from any unsightly green or black patches.
In cases where lichen and moss have deeply penetrated the brickwork, chemical cleaning may be necessary.
This method involves applying specialized cleaning solutions that target these organic growths.
The chemicals work by breaking down the bonds between the growths and the brick surface, making it easier to remove them.
Once the solution has been applied and allowed to work its magic, the bricks are rinsed off with water, revealing a revitalized and moss-free surface.
Calcium lime deposits and efflorescence, on the other hand, require a different approach.
These deposits are caused by the presence of mineral salts in the bricks, which can leach out and form white or greyish stains on the surface.
To remove these deposits, a mild acidic solution is often used. The acid helps to dissolve the mineral salts, allowing them to be easily washed away. After the treatment, the bricks regain their natural colour and texture.
Overall, pressure and chemical cleaning are effective methods for removing lichen, moss, calcium lime deposits, and efflorescence from brickwork.
These techniques not only enhance the appearance of the bricks but also help to prolong their lifespan by preventing further damage.
White Rendered Walls, Gable Ends & Cladding
White rendered walls can greatly enhance the aesthetic appeal of a building, exuding a sense of elegance and cleanliness.
However, over time, these walls can become marred by unsightly green algae growth, detracting from their pristine appearance.
This is where pressure and chemical cleaning techniques come into play.
One effective method for treating white rendered walls is through the use of hypo treatment.
Hypo, short for sodium hypochlorite, is a powerful chemical compound that acts as a potent disinfectant and algae remover.
When applied to the affected areas, hypo treatment effectively eliminates the green algae, restoring the walls' original white hue.
By utilizing pressure and chemical cleaning techniques, white rendered walls can be rejuvenated, eliminating the unsightly green algae and restoring their original beauty.
Lower Pressure & Soft Wash
Decking, Fencing and Wooden Garden furniture
Pressure cleaning is an effective method for maintaining the cleanliness and appearance of your decking, fencing, and wooden garden furniture.
However, it is essential to be cautious while using a pressure washer, especially when dealing with delicate wood surfaces.
Our recommended technique is the hypo soft wash, which involves using a lower pressure setting to prevent any potential damage to the wood, followed by a hypo soft wash, this restores the wood, removing all the organic growth.
When it comes to cleaning wooden surfaces using pressure washing, it is crucial to understand why lower pressures are preferred. The main reason behind this is to prevent any potential damage that could occur to the wood.
Wood is a natural material that contains grain, which consists of tiny channels and pores. If high-pressure water is forced into these grains, it can penetrate deep into the wood.
During freezing winter temperatures, this water can expand as it turns into ice, leading to an increase in volume.
As a result, the wood may experience splitting or cracking due to the pressure exerted by the expanding ice within its grain.
By utilizing lower pressures during pressure washing, and using the soft wash process, we can minimize the risk of water being forced into the grain of the wood.
This helps to protect the structural integrity of the wooden surface and prevent potential damage caused by freezing water. It is important to prioritize the long-term health and durability of wooden surfaces by using a lower pressure when cleaning them.
Static Homes & Composite Decking
Low Pressure Cleaning
Static homes, also known as mobile homes or manufactured homes, offer a convenient and comfortable living or holiday home option.
When it comes to maintaining their exterior, one important aspect to consider is the common use of composite decking.
This type of decking is now a far more common material, made from a combination of wood fibres and recycled plastic, provides a durable and low-maintenance solution to wood decking.
Composite decking is fine to pressure clean, however it is always essential that before the process starts, the type of composite is identified, some composite decking is hollow, this type of composite can be compromised if the pressure is to high.
When pressure washing static homes, it is crucial to ensure that low pressure is used on all areas around windows, vents and seams.
This means that water is not forcefully pushed through joints, seams or windows, preventing any potential damage.
By utilizing low-pressure techniques, a soft brush and diluted soft washing process, we can effectively clean the exterior without compromising the integrity of the structure.
During the cleaning process, it is always essential to block off vents to avoid water ingress, which is done prior to cleaning.
This precautionary measure prevents water from seeping into the home through the ventilation system, ensuring a dry and safe interior.
Moreover, a gentle diluted soft wash is employed to clean the static home's surfaces without causing harm to any perishable areas, such as window rubbers. This method ensures that the cleaning solution used is mild enough to avoid damaging or deteriorating these sensitive components.
By employing a low pressure wash and soft wash, we prioritize the preservation of the static home's overall condition and longevity.
