This can not only clean and restore your exterior it can also help preserve the material for many more years to come. For properties suffering with black algae and other more stubborn pollutants you may require additional cleaning chemicals, we will discuss this with you prior to any cleaning.
If you are unsure if pressure washing is right for your exterior we can arrange for you to arrange to speak to an experienced member of staff. On larger projects and commercial projects, it may be suitable to arrange a test patch.
Render Cleaning & Soft Cleaning
If the exterior of your home has a render surface, it can easily gather dirt, grime and bacteria and discolour from its original condition. Our render cleaning uses a soft wash technology which is a combination of specially selected chemicals and a low pressure washing system to ensure the dirt comes off but leaves your exterior surfaces in excellent condition.
Render cleaning has to be completed using the correct methods and chemicals otherwise it can cause damage to your homes outer surface. With our fully trained and experienced cleaning operatives we can provide you with a bespoke service to clean your render, K Rend, painted and plc surfaces and restore it back to its former glory.
Soft Washing is a low-pressure cleaning technique which uses cleaning solutions specially chosen for each individual project depending on the surface and level of cleaning required.
The cleaning solution is applied at low pressure to the most delicate surfaces which you wouldn’t use a pressure washer on at high output. The soft washing process aims not only to clean your surfaces but also to remove contaminants such as algae, moulds, mildews and bacteria that can actually decompose your exterior surfaces they are growing on.
Solar Panels
Solar panels work by allowing light into the solar cells. The more light that hits a panel, the more power it will generate.
Due to the upwards angle of solar panels, they are more prone to bird droppings and a build-up of general dust and dirt that does not wash off with just rain. This reduces the amount of light hitting the panel and reduces its output making them less efficient.
As the projected energy figures claimed by solar panel manufacturers and installers are based on the optimum performance of clean solar panels, this build-up of dirt can adversely affect the panel’s ability to meet those projections.
So, it is important to clean solar panels regularly in order to protect and maintain your investment. Some solar panel manufacturers and installation companies have started making solar panel cleaning a condition as part of their warranty. Should you have problems with your solar panels, if you do not have proof of regular solar panel cleaning by professionals, your solar panels may not be covered by the warranty. We have made a comparison of solar panel warranties and the message is the same, get your solar panels cleaned.
Patios Decking and Paving
Having a patio or decking is an essential consideration in gardens both big and small. Patios provide a good spot for relaxing outside and having an outdoor seating and dining area.
Decking
Wooden decking patios come in a wide range of styles. You can also install decking on a terrace, away from the house, or low to the ground.
In most cases, the type of wood and varnish you choose ensures a natural look.
Or you can go with different styles of durable plastics, recycled materials, and a range of UV, slip or insect-resistant options. These are more expensive but provide lower maintenance.
Stone / Paving
When it comes to picking a paving or patio material, there’s a wide range of options to choose from, such as: Sandstone, Limestone, Slate or Porcelain.
All of this makes it easier to pick a cost-effective style and material to fit well with your house and garden. A
