Dirt, algae, tyre marks, oil and other build-up can affect presentation and create slip risks. The method and timing are agreed around each site’s operations. The work uses surface-appropriate pressure and methods for each material — block paving, concrete, tarmac and decking each need a different approach — with drainage and water containment controlled so run-off is managed, and out-of-hours or low-disruption delivery where required. - Surface-appropriate pressure for block paving, concrete, tarmac and decking - Drainage and water containment controlled so run-off is managed - Chewing gum and graffiti removal assessed per surface - Out-of-hours or low-disruption delivery - One-off clean or a periodic maintenance programme When clients use this service Use pressure washing to restore tired, marked or slippery external hard surfaces at ground level. - • Built-up grime, algae and moss on walkways - • Tyre marks, oil and chewing gum in yards - • Graffiti on walls, shutters and hard surfaces Read more about industrial & commercial pressure washing It is distinct from gutter, cladding and external cleaning, which addresses the building envelope itself, and from internal floor care. Pressure washing is the ground-level external equivalent; the two are often combined in a planned external programme. For the wider specialist programme see our specialist cleaning hub. When it's needed ## Common problems pressure washing addresses Pressure washing is used to restore tired, marked or slippery external hard surfaces. The most common situations we are asked to help with are: ### Built-up grime Dirt and grime built up on heavily used external surfaces over time. ### Algae & moss slip risk Algae and moss making walkways and entrances slippery and unsafe. ### Tyre marks & oil Tyre marks, oil and residue in service yards and loading areas. ### Chewing gum Chewing gum embedded in high-traffic external surfaces. ### Graffiti Graffiti on walls, shutters, fencing and hard surfaces affecting perception. ### Weathering Weathered, tired-looking car parks and external areas. Show all situations we address ### Tired car parks Car parks and external areas that look neglected and affect customer perception. ### First impressions External entrances and walkways that set the wrong tone for the site. Scope ## What pressure washing covers The exact scope is agreed in advance from the survey. Commercial pressure washing commonly covers: ### Typically includes Pressure washing of external hard surfaces Walkway and entrance cleaning Car park and service yard cleaning Chewing gum removal Moss, algae and grime removal Graffiti removal and anti-graffiti treatments Planned pressure washing programmes Out-of-hours or low-disruption delivery where required Survey and scoping We start with a survey to assess the surface type, the contamination level, drainage considerations, access and the times when work can be completed with the least disruption. From there we recommend the right pressure, equipment and schedule for the site. We confirm whether the work is a one-off clean or a periodic maintenance programme, and agree out-of-hours delivery where the area is in use during the day. ### Suitable environments #### Retail parks Retail park car parks, walkways and entrances kept presentable and safe.
