Hartley's pressure washing specialists

Hartley weather does a number on exterior surfaces, and pressure washing is usually the first thing to suffer. Sweeping driveways and large rear elevations are where the time really goes on these properties.

Why Hartley matters for this kind of work

Hartley weather does a number on exterior surfaces, and pressure washing is usually the first thing to suffer. Sweeping driveways and large rear elevations are where the time really goes on these properties.

Tree-lined pocket of larger family homes north of Mannamead, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. We're frequently in and around PL3, so booking-day flexibility is easier than people expect.

What good pressure washing looks like here

  1. 1Lower pressure and a fan tip on softer surfaces typical of leafy suburb layouts in PL3
  2. 2Grout joints checked before any pressure on flagged areas of 1930s detached and large semis
  3. 3Detergent pre-spray on shaded fences typical of leafy suburb layouts
  4. 4Final rinse from the high side so debris flushes downhill on sloped Hartley sites
  5. 5Salt-loaded surfaces hot-washed twice on sheltered elevations in Hartley

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Hartley properties we treat have render, pebbledash and brick walls and a concrete tile and slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.

  • Method

    Range of nozzles from 0° to 65° - the right tip for leafy suburb hard surfaces

  • Method

    Biodegradable degreaser for oil and traffic film along Hartley Road

  • Method

    Drain covers and gully gratings deployed before any trigger pull on leafy suburb layouts

  • Method

    Composite, hardwood and softwood decking all done with grain-aligned passes - common on 1930s detached and large semis

Common issues we see in Hartley

  • Decking turning slippery green every shoulder season at Hartley's sheltered exposure
  • Render plinths and lower courses on leafy suburb properties showing black tide-marks
  • Slimy stone steps on leafy suburb layouts where they shade out
  • Fence panels and pergolas left to weather-bake at Hartley's sheltered
  • Composite cladding clouded by algae across newer leafy suburb stock
