Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions we get asked most about exterior cleaning — from softwash safety to how long a clean really lasts.

Method & Safety

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water and is right for hard, durable surfaces like block paving, concrete and tarmac. Softwashing uses low pressure plus a professional biocide and is the correct method for roofs, render, K-Rend, painted surfaces and anything delicate. We pick the method to suit the surface — never the other way round.

Roof Cleaning

We softwash with a professional biocide that kills moss, algae and lichen at the root. Heavy moss is scraped off carefully by hand first where needed. We never blast tiles with high pressure — it strips the surface and shortens the life of the roof.

Driveways & Patios

No — but they will be cleaned out properly, which is the whole point. We re-sand block paving with kiln-dried sand as part of the job so the blocks stay tight and stable. Without re-sanding, paving can shift over time.

Gutters

Yes — our high-reach gutter vacuum system clears gutters up to 3 storeys from the ground. No ladders against your render, no risk to the brackets, and no mess on the patio.

Results & Maintenance

It depends on the surface and the aspect. Softwashed roofs and render typically stay clean for several years thanks to the biocide. Driveways, decking and patios usually look great for 12–24 months before needing another visit, sooner if they're in heavy shade.

Booking & Practical
