What is pressure washing?

Pressure washing is the use of high-pressure water spray to remove dirt, grime, mould, mildew, stains, and other debris from various surfaces. It’s an effective way to clean exterior surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, decks, roofs, and siding.

Is pressure washing safe for my property?

Yes, when performed by professionals, pressure washing is safe for most surfaces. Our team is trained to adjust the water pressure and use the right techniques to avoid damage. We also use specialised equipment for delicate surfaces, such as soft washing for roofs and siding.

Can pressure washing damage my siding, roof, or driveway?

While pressure washing can be damaging if not done correctly, we ensure the proper pressure and techniques are used for each surface. For example, we use soft washing on roofs and vinyl siding to prevent damage, while higher pressure is used for more durable surfaces like concrete driveways.

How often should I have my home or business pressure washed?

The frequency depends on the environment and the type of surfaces. As a general guideline:

- Homes: Once a year is often sufficient, but areas like driveways and patios may need cleaning more frequently.

- Roofs: Depending on the climate, roofs should be cleaned every 1-2 years to remove algae and moss buildup.

- Commercial Properties: For businesses, especially those with high foot traffic or heavy pollution, quarterly or semi-annual cleaning might be recommended.

Will pressure washing remove mould, mildew, or algae?

Yes! Pressure washing is highly effective in removing mould, mildew, and algae from exterior surfaces. For more stubborn growths, we use specialised detergents and soft washing techniques to ensure thorough removal without damaging the surface.

What’s the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

The key difference between pressure washing and soft washing lies in the water pressure and the use of cleaning solutions. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (1,300-4000 PSI) to blast away dirt and grime, while soft washing uses low pressure (typically under 500 PSI) and specialised cleaning solutions to clean surfaces. 

Pressure washing is suitable for durable surfaces like concrete, driveways, patios, and sidewalks. Soft washing is suitable for delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, and painted exteriors where high pressure could cause damage.

Do I need to be home for the pressure washing service?

It’s completely up to you! If you are unable to be present then we can still carry out the work as long as access is provided to all necessary areas and all pets are safely kept away from the cleaning areas.

Is pressure washing safe for my plants and pets?

Yes! We take care to protect your plants and pets during our service. We use eco-friendly cleaning solutions and ensure that any chemicals we use are safe for the environment. We also make sure to avoid areas where pets are present or take precautions to keep them away from the work zone.

How long will the pressure washing process take?

The duration of a pressure washing job depends on the size and complexity of the area to be cleaned. Small jobs, like cleaning a driveway, can take a couple of hours, while larger projects, such as a multi-story building, may take a full day. We’ll provide you with an estimate for the time required based on your specific needs.

Will pressure washing affect my paint or finish?

If done correctly, pressure washing should not damage your paint or finish. However, surfaces with older, chipped, or peeling paint may be more vulnerable. If you’re concerned about your paint job, we can inspect the surface before starting and discuss the best course of action.

Do I need to prepare my property before the service?

To ensure the best results, please remove any obstacles around the areas to be cleaned (like cars, outdoor furniture, or decorations). We'll handle the rest, but this helps speed up the process and ensures we don’t miss any spots.
