Greenbank pressure washing, done properly

If the pressure washing at your Greenbank property has started looking tired, you're not alone. Slate fronts and painted renders sit side by side along the same street, and each wants its own approach.

What we see on Greenbank properties

If the pressure washing at your Greenbank property has started looking tired, you're not alone. Slate fronts and painted renders sit side by side along the same street, and each wants its own approach.

Terraces climbing the hill above Freedom Fields, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. We tend to batch Greenbank bookings with jobs in Mutley the same week.

What good pressure washing looks like here

  1. 1Detergent dwell before any pressure on stone walls common to Victorian terraces and 1920s semis
  2. 2Drain protection in place before trigger pulls - matters near Greenbank Road run-off
  3. 3Grout joints checked before any pressure on flagged areas of Victorian terraces and 1920s semis
  4. 4Detergent pre-spray on shaded fences typical of urban terrace layouts
  5. 5Final rinse from the high side so debris flushes downhill on sloped Greenbank sites
