Pressure Washing / By Alex Scott   We recently carried out a pressure washing job in the village of Barrowford, Lancashire — and it’s a perfect example of how careful planning, professional equipment, and a tidy approach can completely transform a space.   Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what we did, what we used, and how we made sure the customer got exactly what they were hoping for, with no mess, no stress, and top results. The Job Brief Our customer in Barrowford had a block paved driveway and composite fencing that had seen better days. Moss and weeds had taken root between the joints, not just unsightly, but a sign that deeper treatment was needed. There was visible moss, weeds, and algae growth, and the homeowner was keen to find someone who could use chemical treatments safely and professionally. His goal was simple: a clean finish, done right, with minimal disruption and maximum care. Our Approach: Careful Planning & The Right Tools Before starting any job, we always assess the condition and any potential risks. In this case, the main concerns were: Drainage on the driveway Making sure nearby passersby weren’t affected during the clean We decided on a two-part approach: Soft washing the composite fencing (gentle but effective) Pressure washing the driveway with a biocide treatment, followed by re-sanding Tools Used We always invest in top-quality equipment to ensure safe, efficient, and long-lasting results. For this Barrowford job, we selected tools and treatments suited specifically to the surfaces we were cleaning: Professional-grade pressure washer:Our industrial-grade pressure washer delivers powerful, controlled cleaning without damaging delicate surfaces. It’s ideal for block paving, allowing us to lift stubborn dirt, moss, and weeds while preserving the integrity of the jointing sand. Chemical soft wash box for fencing:Composite fencing requires a gentler approach. Our soft wash system applies eco-safe cleaning solutions at low pressure, killing algae and organic buildup without risking any surface damage or discoloration. Biocide application:After cleaning, we applied a professional-grade biocide treatment to inhibit regrowth of moss, algae, and lichen. This not only keeps the surfaces cleaner for longer, but also helps extend the time between maintenance cleans.
