Pressure washing

Block paving, concrete, asphalt and terraces cleared of ground-in dirt — at the right pressure for each material, so joint sand and timber stay intact.

When paving needs washing

Block paving and concrete build up a layer over the years that a brush no longer reaches. Pressure is the only thing that lifts it out of the joints.

Algae makes it slippery

Shaded paving turns green and gets slippery when wet. That's a safety problem, especially in a car park or at an entrance.

Oil and soot soak in

Car park and driveway stains work into porous concrete. The longer they sit, the harder they are to lift.

Weeds in the joints

Dirt in the joints is growing medium. A clean joint with fresh sand keeps weeds out for years.

The property looks neglected

The driveway and car park are the first thing a client sees. Dirty paving drags down the impression of the whole site.

The right pressure for each material

Pressure washing isn't one setting. Block paving takes heavy pressure, a timber deck doesn't — the wrong pressure blows joint sand out and leaves timber furred up. We pick pressure and nozzle by material, not by speed.

  1. 01

    Inspection

    We check the material, the surface condition, the joints and the drainage. That's what the quote is built on.

  2. 02

    Preparation

    We cover sensitive areas and planting, and check where the wash water will drain.

  3. 03

    Pre-treatment

    Algae, oil and soot stains get a solution applied first, so the pressure lifts them more easily.

  4. 04

    Washing

    We wash the surface evenly at the pressure the material takes. Decking gets gentler pressure and a wider nozzle.

  5. 05

    Joint sand

    Block paving gets fresh joint sand where it's needed — without it the joints stay empty and the blocks start to shift.

  6. 06

    Protective treatment

    On request we impregnate the surface or oil the decking, which holds the result longer and makes the next wash easier.

Frequently asked questions

What does pressure washing cost?

Paving and terrace washing starts at €90. The exact price depends on the area, the material and how dirty it is. Send a photo or the measurements and we'll send an exact quote within 24 hours — free and with no obligation.

Does pressure washing wreck the joint sand?

At the wrong pressure, yes. That's why we pick pressure and nozzle by material, and top up joint sand after washing where it's needed. Without that step the joints stay empty and the blocks start to shift over time.

Can decking be pressure washed?

Timber decking can, but only at gentler pressure with a wider nozzle. Too much pressure furs up the timber and shortens the boards' life. On very sensitive surfaces we soft wash instead.

When is the best time to wash paving?

Spring is the most common, once the winter grit and salt are off. Paving, driveways and terraces are worth pressure washing once a year.

Do you clean car parks and commercial grounds?

Yes. Car parks, driveways and walkways are everyday work for us. For larger properties we set up a maintenance contract with a regular schedule.
