Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is exterior cleaning, and what benefits does it offer?
Exterior cleaning refers to the process of clearing surfaces like driveways, patios, roofs, and walls of dirt, moss, algae, and other debris. It helps preserve surface quality, improves your property’s visual appeal, and can even enhance its market value.
How regularly should I have the outside of my property cleaned?
This depends on factors like local climate, tree coverage, and surface material. As a general rule, having your exterior cleaned once a year is ideal to avoid buildup and keep your home or premises looking fresh.
Is it safe to use pressure washing on all types of surfaces?
Not always. While pressure washing works well on many hard surfaces, some materials require gentler methods. For example, roofs and timber decking should be treated with soft washing to avoid potential damage.
Can pressure washing get rid of algae and mould?
Absolutely. A professional clean using the right solutions and equipment can effectively eliminate mould, mildew, and algae, helping to prevent regrowth and staining.
Will my plants or garden get damaged during cleaning?
Experienced cleaning teams take care to protect your garden by shielding delicate plants and controlling the direction of water and runoff. Your landscaping should remain unharmed if handled professionally.
Do I need to be at home when the cleaning is carried out?
You don’t need to be present for the cleaning to take place. Just make sure there’s access to an outdoor tap and let us know if there are any areas that need special attention.
How long does it take to complete an exterior clean?
The time required depends on the size of your property and the level of buildup. Most standard home exterior cleans can be finished in a few hours.
Are the cleaning products safe for animals and kids?
Yes, we use eco-friendly and biodegradable solutions that are designed to be safe. We do recommend keeping pets and children indoors during and shortly after cleaning just to be cautious.
What should I do before your team arrives?
Please move any items like garden furniture or toys from the cleaning area, shut all doors and windows securely, and ensure the team can access a water supply.
