Pressure alone isn’t the answer. Too much of it on render, painted surfaces, soft brick or aged mortar does permanent damage that costs more to repair than the clean did. Too little and you’ve just wet the dirt.
We match the approach to the surface: high pressure and appropriate cleaning products for oil and grease on hard concrete, lower pressure and less harsh products for painted walls, render and anything fragile. Flat areas are done with a rotary surface cleaner rather than a hand wand, which is what stops the lines you see on jobs done in a hurry with the pressure washing gun.
Mould, mildew, algae and lichen, oil and grease stains, chewing gum, animal droppings, cobwebs and nesting debris, moss, rust and mineral run-off marks, tyre rubber, and the general grime that dulls a building over time.
Warehouses, distribution centres and factory sites get a different kind of dirt: diesel and hydraulic oil on hardstands, tyre marks and rubber build-up on truck aprons, spills and dust around loading docks, and grime on roller doors and tilt-panel walls.
We pressure clean the external working areas of industrial sites — hardstands, truck aprons and turning areas, loading docks, roller doors, external walls and staff walkways. Oil and grease are pre-treated with a degreaser before cleaning, and run-off is contained where needed so it doesn’t go straight into stormwater.
Industrial jobs are planned around dock schedules and forklift and truck movements, including overnight and weekend work, so the site keeps running while we clean. For warehouse and distribution centre floors inside the building, see our ride-on sweeping and scrubbing.
We inspect the area, identify the surface and its condition, and flag anything that needs care — loose render, aged mortar, painted finishes, existing damage.
Then: pre-treat any growth or staining and allow it to dwell, clean the area at the right pressure for the surface, detailing on edges and corners, and containment and removal of the run-off where necessary.
Work can be done during or after hours, overnight or on weekends to suit your site, with signage and exclusion zones in place where the public has access. We use safe, environmentally friendly products suitable for occupied buildings.
One-off cleans for end-of-lease, make-good, pre-sale, post-construction or a frontage that’s been let go.
Scheduled programs — quarterly, biannual or annual, with more frequent attention to bin areas, entries and shaded paths where growth returns fastest.
It depends on the size of the area, the surface, how heavy the build-up is (oil and ingrained grime take longer than general dirt), access and working hours, and whether run-off needs to be contained. We inspect the site and give you a free, fixed quote before any work starts. Scheduled programs are usually cheaper per clean than one-off jobs.
