Do you provide water, or must the client supply it?
Clients are asked to supply water onsite for pressure cleaning services. This keeps costs affordable and practical. Our team brings all high-pressure equipment, hoses, and cleaning tools needed to complete the job efficiently. If water is not available, arrangements can be discussed during the quotation.

Can you pressure clean roofs and boundary walls?
Yes, we pressure clean roofs, boundary walls, and fences as part of our service. This removes moss, algae, dirt, and debris, preparing the surface for painting or sealing. Roof cleaning also extends the life of your roof by preventing water damage and rot caused by trapped dirt.

Is pressure cleaning safe for wooden decks and paving?
Yes, when done by professionals. We adjust the water pressure to suit the surface. Wooden decks are cleaned at lower pressure to avoid damage, while paving and concrete can handle higher pressure. This ensures surfaces are cleaned thoroughly without causing cracks, splinters, or erosion.

Do you offer commercial pressure cleaning in the Garden Route?
Yes, we work with commercial properties, body corporates, and businesses across the Garden Route. This includes cleaning shopfronts, signage, warehouses, parking lots, and commercial building exteriors. We provide customised quotes for large-scale projects with competitive square meter rates.
