What is pressure washing❓

   Pressure washing is a cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to remove dirt, grime, mold, mildew, algae, and other contaminants from exterior surfaces such as driveways, patios, decks, roofs, and siding.

Is pressure washing safe for all surfaces❓

   Pressure washing is generally safe for most surfaces when done correctly. However, some delicate surfaces may require lower pressure or alternative cleaning methods to prevent damage.

Can pressure washing remove moss from surfaces❓

   Yes, pressure washing can effectively remove moss from surfaces such as roofs, driveways, and patios. However, it's important to follow proper techniques to prevent damage to the surface and ensure effective removal.

Can you simply spray the moss with a solution to eliminate it❓

   The management of moss is governed by the GB and EU Plant Protection Products Regulations (GB PPPR and EU PPPR). Consequently, claims targeting moss cannot be acknowledged under COPR, and any products making such claims must also be authorized under GB or EU PPPR.

According to the law, moss must be removed from every surface through pressure/soft washing or scraping before applying biocide treatment.

Is pressure washing environmentally friendly❓

   Pressure washing can be environmentally friendly when done responsibly. Using biodegradable cleaning solutions and minimizing runoff can help reduce the environmental impact of pressure washing.

Can pressure washing damage my roof❓

   Pressure washing can potentially damage roofs if done incorrectly. It's important to use low pressure and the appropriate cleaning techniques to avoid damaging roofing materials such as shingles or tiles.

How often should I pressure wash my exterior surfaces❓

   The frequency of pressure washing depends on various factors such as climate, surrounding environment, and level of dirt and debris buildup. Generally, exterior surfaces may benefit from pressure washing once or twice a year.

Can pressure washing improve the curb appeal of my property❓

   Yes, pressure washing can significantly improve the curb appeal of your property by removing dirt, stains, and discoloration from exterior surfaces, making them look clean and well-maintained.

Is pressure washing an effective method for removing oil stains from driveways❓

   Yes, pressure washing can effectively remove oil stains from driveways. However , stubborn oil stains cannot be always assured of complete removal. Each tarmac restoration project will require individual assessment prior to determining pricing.

Can pressure washing prevent moss and algae growth on exterior surfaces❓

    While pressure washing can remove existing moss and algae, it may not prevent their future growth. 

A biocide treatment will be required to kill off any spores and algae to prevent moss from regrowing. 

Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and treating surfaces, can help inhibit moss and algae growth over time.

Are there any precautions I should take before pressure washing my property❓

   Before pressure washing your property, we will conduct a risk assessment and survey its condition to identify any areas requiring attention. If there is existing damage, we take photographs and inform you before commencing the job.

Can pressure washing remove paint from surfaces❓

    Yes, pressure washing can remove paint from surfaces if done with high pressure or abrasive cleaning solutions. It's essential to use the appropriate pressure and techniques to avoid damaging painted surfaces.

Can pressure washing damage windows or window seals❓

    Pressure washing can potentially damage windows or window seals if the water pressure is too high or if the nozzle is held too close to the surface. It's important to avoid directing high-pressure water towards windows and seals.

Is it necessary to hire a professional for pressure washing services❓

    While some homeowners may choose to DIY pressure washing, hiring a professional can ensure the job is done safely, effectively, and without damage to surfaces. 

Professionals have the experience and knowledge, and they also hold relevant biocide licenses. Therefore, they have access to a wide range of cleaning chemicals that the general public does not.

What is soft washing❓

   Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses low-pressure water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to gently remove dirt, algae, mold, mildew, and other contaminants from exterior surfaces.

How does soft washing differ from pressure washing❓

   Soft washing uses low-pressure water and specialized cleaning solutions, whereas pressure washing uses high-pressure water to remove dirt and contaminants from surfaces.

What types of surfaces can be cleaned with soft washing❓

   Soft washing is suitable for cleaning a wide range of exterior surfaces, including roofs, windows, glass doors, conservatories and delicate surfaces such as painted or stained surfaces.

Are there any precautions I should take before soft washing my property❓

    Before soft washing, it's important to inspect the area for any loose or damaged surfaces, protect nearby plants and landscaping, and ensure proper ventilation. Protective gear such as goggles and gloves may also be necessary.

Can soft washing damage windows or window seals❓

    Soft washing uses low-pressure water, minimizing the risk of damage to windows or window seals. However, it's important to avoid directing water towards windows and seals to prevent any potential damage.

What does driveway and patio sealing mean❓

Patio and driveway sealing is a process of applying a protective coating to outdoor surfaces like concrete, brick, or stone to enhance their appearance and durability. The sealant acts as a barrier against water, oil, UV rays, and other elements, preventing damage such as cracking, fading, and staining. It can also bring out the natural colours of the surface and make it easier to clean. Sealing is commonly done after pressure washing to ensure a clean and properly prepped surface.

Is it a good ide to seal my driveway or patio❓

Yes, sealing your driveway can be a good idea for several reasons:

1. Protection: Sealing creates a protective barrier against damage from water, oil, UV rays, and other elements, helping to prevent cracking, fading, and staining.

2. Durability: A properly sealed driveway can last longer and withstand wear and tear better than an unsealed one.

3. Enhanced Appearance: Sealing can enhance the colour and appearance of your driveway, making it look newer and more attractive.

4. Easy Maintenance: Sealed driveways are often easier to clean and maintain, as the sealant helps to repel dirt, oil, and other substances.

Overall, sealing your driveway can help extend its lifespan and maintain its aesthetic appeal, making it a worthwhile investment for many homeowners.
