The right method
Steam or softwash? It depends on the surface.
We don't blast everything the same way. Here's how we match the method to what we're cleaning.
| Method | Best for | Pressure | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steam | Block paving, slabs, concrete, brick, steps | Medium | Heat and water break down grime, moss and organic growth so it lifts away. |
| Softwash | Render, coated walls, roofs | Low | A cleaning treatment applied gently does the work, so the surface isn't blasted. |
| By hand | Heavy roof moss, gutters | None | Thick moss and debris come off first, so less is washed into gutters and drains. |
| Finishing | Paving after cleaning | None | Re-sanding, regrouting and sealing where suitable, so the result lasts longer. |
