Steam Cleaning is a versatile method that can effectively clean various types of paving and hard surfaces, including clay and concrete block pavers, Indian Sandstone, Granite, and other natural stones, PIC stamped concrete, and slabs. This approach can help restore driveways, patios, paths, car parks, yards, and commercial venues to their original condition by removing dirt, grime, stains, and other types of buildup that can accumulate over time.
Hot water is particularly efficient at removing oil stains and other oil-based stains caused by petrol, brake fluid leaks, and grease. The heated water is highly effective in breaking down oil-based greasy stains and removing ingrained dirt, resulting in a thorough and satisfactory cleaning process. Pressures-On is dedicated to providing superior driveway cleaning services in the North West, while maintaining competitive and affordable prices for our valued customers.
Our services include the cleaning and restoration of clay and concrete brick and block pavers, which involves the removal of weeds, moss, algae, and dirt, followed by resanding the joints with block paving sand. Additionally, we offer optional sealing to provide protective benefits and enhance sand stabilization (hardening).
Block paving should be resanded after cleaning to help stabilize the individual blocks and to maintain the structural integrity of the paved surface. Over time, the sand between the blocks can become eroded due to factors such as weathering, foot traffic, and vehicle use, which can lead to the blocks becoming loose and unstable. Resanding helps to fill in the gaps between the blocks and improve their stability, which ultimately prolongs the lifespan of the paved surface. It can also enhance the visual appearance of the block paving by making it look more uniform and even.
Some types of paving sealers are formulated to stabilize jointing sand, which essentially means that they help to solidify the sand and prevent it from being washed away due to rain or weathering.
Sealers come in a range of finishes such as clear, gloss and wet look. Clear, as the name suggests, is a clear / invisible sealer that has no effect on appearance. Gloss is more of a high shine and wet look and can darken paving the way it looks after a rain shower. Additives can be added for colour and non-slip properties.
Benefits of sealer include:
⦁ Protect against oil staining
⦁ Prevent UV fading
⦁ Inhibit weed growth and colonisation by lichen and moss
Lichen are a a fungus/algae that cause unsightly black and white spots on your suraces.
Softwashing is employed as a means of eliminating these substances during the cleaning process, as using regular hot pressure washing alone may not be effective.
Employing the services of a professional can be a practical solution to save both time and money. Attempting to clean your patio or driveway with an electric pressure washer may prove futile as they lack the necessary power to effectively clean the surfaces. Additionally, renting or purchasing professional-grade equipment can be costly, not to mention the expense of chemicals. At Pressures-On, we utilize a state-of-the-art van mounted system, complete with a 150°C boiler and 250bar Pressure Washer, which expertly steam cleans and removes years of accumulated Algae, Moss, Weeds, and Lichens/Blackspot from your driveway in an efficient and secure manner. This approach is not only cost-effective but also helps to alleviate the physical strain that often accompanies such tasks.
