Using a high pressure water jet-washing machine is usually the best way to clean stone and brick surfaces without damaging them. Great for removing moss and other growth and also taking off accumulated layers of dirt and stains that can't really be removed with a wire brush or other tools.
Patios and stone areas
Pressure washing works like magic on patio stones and paved or flagged areas and leaves the stone looking like new. It is slow and back-breaking job if done properly, but that is what we are here for!
If the stones and concrete pointing are very old and crumbled, the water pressure may dislodge some of the joints, but we can mix up some mortar and replace them like new afterwards and then they won't come out if you have to pressure wash again next season.
Here is a video we took of one of our specialist operators using a Karcher Jet Washer at a client's house.
Cleaning brickwork and tiles
Bricks come up beautifully when pressure-washed and we have also recently done a job where a client wanted us to clean a vertical tiled area. We did it very gently as we were concerned about the tiles being damaged but it was all fine and got a great result that the client was delighted with.

Other uses for jet washing machines
A pressure wash machine can also be very effective on wood panels, fencing, sheds etc. but needs to be done carefully using the right attachments or it can damage the surfaces.
They are also very effective on aluminium and plastic double-glazed window surrounds.

Advice on cleaning tiles with a jet washer
Make sure you have a stable working platform - the jet has a lot of pressure and you don't want to be thrown off-balance on a ladder
Work from above the area you are cleaning and point the pressure jet downwards so water is running off the tiles like rainwater rather than being forced up under the tiles from below, which could cause damage to the tiles and soak the timbers underneath (or worse!)
Start with the jet on lower pressure and see if any damage is caused to a small working area of tiles
If it is OK, turn up the pressure a bit until you get the required cleaning effect
We have done this plenty of times so if you want a great job done without any of the worry, give us a call.
