Pressure Washing
Driveways, patios, yards, car parks, render and cladding cleaned properly — the right pressure and the right method for each surface, so the dirt comes off and the surface underneath does not. We cover homes, commercial premises and industrial sites across York and North Yorkshire.
The right pressure for the surface, every time
A lance at full pressure will strip moss off concrete and also blow the pointing out of a patio or the face off soft brick. We match the method — rotary, soft wash or hot water — to what we are cleaning.
Driveways, patios & paths
Rotary flat surface cleaning across concrete, flags, Indian stone, imprinted concrete and tarmac, giving an even finish instead of the stripes a hand lance leaves.
Block paving, re-sanding & weed removal
Paving cleaned, weeds and moss removed from joints, then kiln-dried sand brushed back in so blocks stay locked and the weeds stay out longer.
Soft washing for render & cladding
Low-pressure treatment with the correct cleaning solution for render, K-rend, painted walls and cladding — removes algae and black spotting without damaging the finish.
UPVC, fascias, soffits & conservatories
Green film, black streaks and traffic grime removed from plastics and glass, including conservatory roofs and the roofline under the gutters.
Car parks, forecourts & service yards
Large area cleaning with rotary heads and hot water where needed, tackling tyre rubber, oil staining, chewing gum and general traffic film.
Industrial units, loading bays & plant
Loading bays, ramps, bin stores, external plant areas and warehouse aprons cleaned around operations and vehicle movements.
Brickwork, stone & graffiti removal
Careful cleaning of masonry and stone at controlled pressure, plus graffiti and paint removal using the appropriate solvent rather than brute force.
Sealing & protective treatments
Patio and driveway sealers applied after cleaning where the surface suits it, slowing down regrowth and making the next clean easier.
Slip risk & safety cleaning
Algae on steps, ramps, walkways and fire escapes removed before it becomes an accident report — a common finding on commercial inspections.
Before & after photographs
Every job photographed so managing agents, landlords and head offices can see the result without standing on site.
Water, waste & runoff handled properly
Water supply arranged, runoff controlled and debris cleared away, with detergents chosen to suit planting and drains where that matters.
Scheduled & multi-site cleaning
Annual or quarterly rounds for blocks, estates and commercial portfolios, priced per visit and booked ahead under one contract.
Homes, landlords & blocks
Driveways, patios and paths around York go green quickly under tree cover and damp winters. A proper clean transforms the front of a house and takes the slip risk away from the back door.

Six steps, start to finish
Tell us the surface
What it is, roughly how big and what is on it. A photo over WhatsApp usually tells us more than a description.
Survey or measure-up
For larger areas we measure on site and check water supply, drainage, access and anything that needs protecting.
Fixed price & date
A clear price for the area and method, with sealing or re-sanding priced separately so you choose what is included.
Clean to the right method
Rotary, soft wash or hot water as the surface demands, with planting, doors, vents and electrics protected first.
Finish, re-sand & seal
Joints re-sanded, debris cleared, runoff dealt with and sealer applied where the job includes it.
Photographs & next visit
Before and after photographs sent through, with an optional schedule so the surface never gets that bad again.
What every pressure washing job includes
Some surfaces should not be pressure washed
Soft or spalling brick, failing pointing, old tarmac, painted render past its life and certain natural stones will come off worse than the dirt does. Where that is the case we will say so and offer a soft wash, a gentler treatment or nothing at all rather than damaging your property to make it briefly look clean. We will also tell you honestly when a driveway needs repair or resurfacing instead of another clean.
External cleaning sits inside our facilities work, not beside it
Gutter cleaning, specialist cleaning, NICEIC Approved electrical work, Gas Safe heating, appliance repairs, planned maintenance and reactive call-outs all come from the same Clifton Moor team. One visit can cover the gutters, the driveway and the fault that has been nagging you inside.
