5. Our Cleaning Methods
- We use the correct pressure and chemistry for each surface. All surfaces are cleaned at controlled low pressure — driveways and block paving at low pressure sufficient to remove growth without damaging joints; roofs, patios, stonework, render and conservatories at appropriately safe low pressure with specialist solutions. We do not use high pressure on any surface.
- Driveways are pressure washed, chemically treated and finished with kiln-dried sand refilled into joints. Patios are cleaned at low pressure with commercial strength bleach for black lichen and spots. Render is cleaned with sodium hypochlorite at the correct concentration for the render type. Brick is cleaned with specialist acids where required.
- For biological growth (moss, algae, lichen), a professional biocide treatment is applied after every clean in accordance with manufacturer guidelines.
- All chemicals used are industry-approved, biodegradable where possible, and applied by trained operatives.
- We are a Smart Seal approved contractor. All sealing products are applied in 2 coats by hand roller in accordance with Smart Seal specifications, over a surface left a minimum of 3–5 days to dry after cleaning.
