Frequently Asked Questions

Pressure washing is suitable for hard surfaces like driveways, patios, decks, brickwork, and concrete. It effectively removes dirt, grime, mould, and mildew from these areas. However, delicate surfaces such as certain types of wood, painted surfaces, and older brickwork may be damaged by high-pressure water. For these, soft washing is recommended to prevent damage.

On average, professional pressure washing uses about 21 litres of water per minute. The total water usage depends on the duration and scope of the cleaning job. Despite the high flow rate, pressure washing is often more water-efficient than manual cleaning methods due to its effectiveness.

Yes, pressure washing can effectively remove mould and mildew from exterior surfaces. The combination of high-pressure water and suitable cleaning agents eradicates these organisms, preventing damage and health risks associated with mould and mildew growth.

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and grime from hard surfaces. Soft washing employs low-pressure water combined with specialised cleaning solutions to gently clean delicate surfaces without causing damage. Soft washing is ideal for roofs, siding, rendered walls and other surfaces that could be harmed by high pressure.

Pressure washing is eco-friendly as it uses water efficiently and reduces the need for harsh chemicals. We use biodegradable and environmentally friendly cleaning agents that are safe for your property and the surrounding environment.

Yes, access to an outdoor tap is required for pressure washing. If an outdoor tap isn't available, please let us know in advance so we can make alternative arrangements.

Dirt, dust, bird droppings, and other debris can accumulate on solar panels, reducing their ability to absorb sunlight and decreasing energy output by up to 25%. Regular cleaning ensures maximum efficiency and optimises your energy savings.

Solar panels should be cleaned at least once or twice a year. Signs that they need cleaning include visible dirt buildup and a noticeable drop in energy production on your monitoring system.

Rain can wash away some surface dust but isn't effective at removing stubborn grime, bird droppings, or thick layers of dirt. Professional cleaning ensures all residues are removed, maximising panel efficiency.

No, professional cleaning will not void your warranty. In fact, some manufacturers recommend regular cleaning to maintain efficiency and warranty validity. Always refer to your warranty documentation for specific terms.

Moss absorbs and retains moisture, which can accelerate the deterioration of roofing materials. Over time, this moisture can seep into the roof's surface, increasing the risk of water damage and leaks. When temperatures drop, the retained moisture can freeze, causing the materials to expand and crack. Regular moss removal helps prevent these issues.

While DIY roof cleaning is possible, it can be dangerous due to the risk of falls and potential damage to roofing materials. Professional roof cleaners have the proper equipment, experience, and safety training to perform the job safely and effectively.

Absolutely. We use environmentally friendly cleaning solutions that effectively remove moss and algae without harming your roof, plants, or the surrounding ecosystem.
