Our pressure washing service can restore:
A pressure washing machine uses two to four high-pressure jets. These are set on a rotating bar that swivels with the pressure of water moving through it. At the heart of the pressure washer is a motor that pushes the water through the system.
Pressure washers have a range of pressure settings from around 1500 PSI up to 3100 PSI or more. Domestic pressure washers will cap out at around 2800 PSI while industrial pressure washers can go up to the highest pressure levels.
The powerful stream of water from a pressure washer is one of the most effective cleaning methods for hard surfaces. It uses this force to physically remove dirt and stains, some of which are very difficult to get rid of with other methods.
These include:
A pressure wash or jet wash is a detergent-free cleaning method. It uses the power of the water alone to remove dirt and stains.
Some surface types don't react well to soap or detergent, so a method that uses only water can help to preserve them. It also means that you won't be left with any soapy residue. This can cling to surfaces, especially porous surfaces, and dull them or make them slippery.
Pressure washing is an environmentally friendly option. It uses far less water than other cleaning methods. For example, a garden hose will use 3,500 litres of water per hour whereas a pressure washer will use only 400 to 600 litres.
You also don't need to use any harsh cleaning chemicals that could be harmful to the environment. Water alone will do the cleaning and you don't need much of it.
There are domestic pressure washing machines available but it is usually better to use pressure washing specialists for several reasons.
Domestic pressure washers are far less powerful than professional jet-washing equipment. A professional company will have access to a more powerful machine that can provide a more thorough and effective cleaning.
Other cleaning methods and lower-powered pressure washers can struggle with more stubborn issues. If you need to remove motor oil stains, chewing gum, algae and moss, you usually need high pressure to lift them.
Using a pressure washer can seem quite simple at first glance. You point the nozzle at the surface you want to clean and press "go". But in reality, it is a lot more complicated than that.
The high-pressure water can easily cause damage to the surface if it is improperly used. Knowing the correct pressure level, nozzle type, angle, technique, and distance from the surface to use comes with training and experience.
Different surfaces need different cleaning techniques. Some can withstand higher pressure than others and some need a more gentle approach. A professional cleaning technician can identify the specific needs of the surface they are working with to suggest the best approach.
Exterior surfaces are generally made of resilient, durable, and hardy materials such as concrete, wood, stone, brick, or tarmac. They are, however, constantly exposed to the elements which means that they are vulnerable to staining.
Driveways can increase your home's curb appeal and are a practical approach to storing your vehicles. But they take a lot of day-to-day wear.
Similarly, car parks are an important first impression for any business. Unsightly and slippery stains can make the area unattractive and unsafe.
Even with the most care, oil spills can happen. And oil can easily stain your driveway or parking space. Removing it is tough because oil isn't lifted by soap. A pressure washer, on the other hand, does have the force to remove oil stains.
Lots of exterior areas can be paved. This could be your driveway, patio, or pathway. Outdoor paving is an attractive way of covering your exterior floor surfaces but is prone to moss and weed growth, especially in the areas between the bricks or stones.
This growth looks unsightly and if it is left untreated, it can cause damage to the paving. The roots snake their way between and underneath the bricks or stones which can eventually start to lift.
Getting rid of moss and weeds can be difficult but precise pressure washing can remove them entirely, leaving your paving completely free from growth.
Decking is a popular option for creating a comfortable and appealing outdoor area. Its wood finish helps to retain a natural look and means that it will blend seamlessly with any garden.
Wood is a natural material that will always retain some moisture. This moisture helps to preserve the wood by preventing it from becoming too brittle. It also, however, provides the perfect breeding ground for algae, moss, mildew, and lichen growth. These types of plants thrive on porous, moisture-rich wood and can easily spread across your decking if they aren't dealt with quickly.
This growth can make the decking slippery and dangerous so it is important to remove it as quickly as possible.
The same can be said of patios. These are also vulnerable to moss, mildew, algae, and lichen growth, particularly in the gaps between the slabs. This growth can also make patios slippery and unsafe.
Pressure washing is one of the few cleaning techniques that can efficiently and effectively remove moss, algae, lichen, and mildew. A regular decking or patio cleaning service will remove these growths and prevent them from coming back.
You can also use pressure washing to strip old, tired paint or wood stain from your decking, leaving you with a clean canvas for repainting and rejuvenating.
Concrete is a hard-wearing and durable material that can be used for a variety of outdoor surfaces. It is also, however, quite porous so is susceptible to algae, moss, mildew, and lichen growth as well as deep staining.
High-pressure water from jet washing can work its way into these pores, removing the stains and any plant life.
Chewing gum is notoriously difficult to remove. Once it dries, it is fixed fast to the surface it has landed on. Getting rid of chewing by hand is time-consuming and ineffective.
Pressure washing, however, has a high enough power to lift chewing gum quickly and effectively.
Getting your outdoor surfaces pressure washed regularly is important. They can easily become tired and run down if dirt and grime are left to build up.
Plant growth, such as moss, algae, and lichen can also cause damage to the material if they are allowed to grow for too long. They trap moisture which can seep deep into the material, leading to dampness. This dampness can, in turn, corrode the material and can leave it susceptible to the freeze-thaw cycle. When the water freezes, it expands, and when it melts, it shrinks. This causes movement in the material which can cause cracks.
The exact cleaning schedule you need will depend on a variety of factors, including your location, the type of material the surface is made from, and how it is used.
Generally speaking, you can expect to need pressure washing services around once a year. In some situations, cleaning in both the spring and autumn can be the best solution to preserve the surface. In other cases, less regular cleaning is needed.
If you need pressure washing services, our team will conduct an on-site assessment to determine the type of schedule that would work best for you.
