So when it comes to driveway cleaning in Bradford we have the people and professional equipment to get the job done right.

Have a clean or conversely really dirty driveway can impact the overall kerb appeal of your property and can often give of an impression of a dirty property even though your home internally could be clinically clean.

Power Washing Bradford

Whilst a number of people have their own power washer not all jet washers are the same and some jobs which may seem like fun to start with are quite a chore if done properly. Depending on the power of your jet washer you may be limited in the settings of the nozzle to get the right balance of power and area coverage to clean effectively AND clean without damaging the surface or item you are about to clean. The power wash in Bradford that we use is professional grade, so has a lot more power than the jet washers you can pick up from a garden centre. As a result the nozzle, the head attachments and the power control will allow us to clean quicker, safer and with less mess.

The dislodged dirt and algae also need cleaning up, collecting this and taking it away is all part of our service. It simply can't be guided towards the nearest drain as the likelihood is that it will clog and block it up - potentially leading to other flooding issues, which could make you very unpopular with your neighbours.

Driveway Power Cleaning Bradford

Each different type of driveway may require a slightly different approach when cleaning it. As well as the surface itself if there are particular stains and spills along with the usual dirt, moss, weeds and algae utlising the right cleaning fluids, at the right concentration, will make a difference towards the final results you can expect to achieve.

The other critical consideration when driveway power cleaning in Bradford is to ensure the right pressure is used for the right surface. If the same high pressure used to clean block paving was used on tarmac the end result will be clearing up large amounts of tarmac fragments which became dislodged during the pressure washing process. This sort of damage to a drive, once done, will accelerate further issues such as enabling more dirt to accumulate and settle further down into the drive and also allow water to collect. collected water if allowed to freeze will expand and cause further loosening of the surface. It's this process on roads, which eventually leads to pot holes - and we all know what to think of those!

Patio Cleaning Services Bradford

When patio cleaning in Bradford very similar principles and process apply to those associated with Driveway cleaning. We have to ensure that the right cleaning products and jet washing pressure is applied to your paving and patio.

Whilst most patios are made up of paving stones some are block paved and resin. The formation of a patio using paving slabs will have many more joints that would be found with a driveway and these joints can be managed in a number of ways.

If the state of your patio has got to a stage where you are looking to apply fresh jointing between slabs then our cleaning will aim to dislodge and remove as much jointing as possible to provide a better base on which to lay fresh jointing compound. If this isn't the plan then we will provide a gentler clean at the joints to minimise further degrading of the cement between paving slabs.

A patios can be made up of many different pavers and again the cleaning fluids and pressures used will cater for Indian stone, porcelain, marble, slate, granite, limestone and sandstone respectively to get an excellent clean which looking after your patio at the same time.

Decking Cleaning

Deck cleaning can be quite a regular occurrence - especially for timer decking which is more prone to collect algae than either composite or PVC decking. On of the main reasons for this is the safety aspect. As relatively think layer of algae on a decking area can become an ice rink if a little rain falls. It will become very slippery which can make the area dangerous, especially if it is a raised decking area.

Cleaning timber decking prior to treating will ensure that a clean surface can be treated and any oils or stains will be evenly absorbed and will have a uniform look.

Whilst composite decking requires no oil or staining treatment it will also collect dirt and algae, this will definitely be the case if located under or near to large mature trees. Decking in this environment will get more than its fair share of bird droppings, leaves, moss and algae.

Stone & Brick Cleaning

Most of our brick wall cleaning is done on larger properties that are older and have been built with stone block rather than bricks. Depending on the stone itself will again depend on what additional cleaning fluids we may use and whether we use a pressure washer or a BioWash process.

We can also clean  limestone walls which are a little more porous and absorb the dirt and fumes of their environment and those near busy roads get so dirty they begin to look black rather than their natural buff colour.

When it comes to bricks they are more robust than most stones so whether it is the sides of your house that have started to have a subtle build up of green algae or the walls around your house or within your garden we have the cleaning knowledge and equipment to get them looking like new again.

Following cleaning we can also provide an energy saver wall sealer. This sealer prevents water from going into your walls but still allows water vapour escape preventing the risk of damp in your home.

Render Cleaning

For rendered houses having a slightly rougher wall finish than brick and generally being a lighter shade will collect and show dirt after a few years. Whilst is can be tempting to give it a new lease of life with a new lick of paint simply applying this to directly to dirty render will lead to more problems in the near future and a waste of time and money painting it in the first place. If you are planning to repaint your render the fist stage should be to clean it properly. A pressure washer, will dislodge dirt and algae however it can also cause damage to the render. Depending on the age of your property, or rather the age and quality of your render pressure washing can cause dislodge the render especially if some cracks are already showing.

Taking a BioWash approach to clean your render will ensure that it is not damaged in the cleaning process. Following a good clean any new paint will in turn stay on the render, which will remain attached to the wall leaving your with the finish you would have wanted.

Driveway Sealing, Sanding & Restoration

Sealing your driveway helps to protect it from harsh weather conditions, oil stains, and other types of damage. It also helps to enhance the appearance of your driveway and increase its lifespan. The best time to apply a sealant is after your driveway has been cleaned and allowed to dry.  By regularly sealing your driveway you will benefit by preventing costly repairs as well as having a much more aesthetically pleasing driveway. It is recommended to have an imprinted concrete driveway sealed every 3 years.

Re-sanding block paving is an important maintenance task that helps to ensure the longevity and stability of your block paving surface. Over time, the sand between the blocks can become displaced due to weather conditions, foot traffic, and other factors. Re-sanding involves filling in the gaps between the blocks with fresh sand, which helps to hold them in place and prevent movement or shifting. Following cleaning re-sanding helps to prevent weeds from growing between the blocks and promotes proper drainage.

Tarmac driveways will deteriorate over time due to weather and spillages such as car oil or diesel, and simply age. Our tarmac restoration service involves repairing any cracks, resurfacing patches and resealing the surface to improve its appearance and durability.

This is why we will price depending on the type of driveway you have as certain driveway surfaces need to be cleaned much slower than others.

    Power washing can dislodge loose or broken jointing. Whilst we can clean specifically avoiding joints for most customers they want us to clean the joints as this is the area that most most an algae will start to build up from.
