Pressure Washing FAQ
-
How much does it cost to clean my patio or driveway?
Every job is unique, and much depends on the surface. Pressure washing a small limestone or concrete slab patio of three by three meters could cost as little as £120. Different surfaces, such as block paving and resin driveways, require a different approach and additional maintenance. For example, pressure washing is very effective at removing weeds from the gaps in block paving, but aftercare is needed to set the blocks in place. After the wash, we brush kiln-dried sand into the gaps to re-secure the blocks. A block paved driveway like the one in the picture would cost £360 to pressure wash and re-sand the joints.
-
Is pressure washing better than softwashing?
Depends on the case. Pressure washing is much faster and provides deeper cleaning. It is ideal for cleaning car parks, driveways, patios, tarmac, block paving, concrete, and brick walls (although there may be exceptions).
Not all surfaces can endure pressure or heat. Most rendered walls, painted surfaces, and natural stone walls should be treated with a soft wash, which we also offer. And, of course, no pressure should be applied to windows.
Soft washing doesn’t damage the surfaces, provides more long-lasting results, and also can be used on brick, render and other surfaces that can be ruined by pressure washing. On the other hand, certain kinds of dirt can’t be removed with soft wash, such as oil, grease, or even chewing gum, in extreme cases. Graffiti removal also sometimes requires pressure washing.
-
What is the difference between standard and hot pressure washing?
Standard pressure washing uses cold water, while hot pressure washing uses heated water to remove oil and grease from tough surfaces, such as concrete and tarmac.
-
Is power washing the same as pressure washing?
Power washing is another name for hot pressure washing. It is essential for heavy-duty cleaning, especially on industrial and commercial properties.
-
Is pressure washing safe?
When used without proper safety measures, pressure washing can cause harm and damage your property. Always rely on professionals, who can recommend alternatives. On the other hand, power washing reduces the need for chemical detergents, making it less damaging to the environment.

Additional Services We Offer
Roof Cleaning
Although pressure washing is excellent for hard ground surfaces, it’s not always suitable for roofs. That’s why our dedicated roof cleaning service uses the right methods for each roof type. We remove moss, lichen, and build-up without damaging tiles or shingles.
Moss Removal
Moss often grows in driveways, patios, and paths — places ideally treated with pressure washing. However, for roofs and delicate areas, our moss removal service uses appropriate techniques for safe results. We tailor our approach based on the surface to protect your property while achieving a deep clean.
