Professional Power Washing Services in Cheshire
Revitalise your home’s exterior with high-performance power washing and soft-wash treatments. We safely eliminate stubborn moss, algae, lichen, and dirt from roofs, driveways, patios, and wall surfaces across Cheshire.
Restore the Kerb Appeal & Integrity of Your Property
Over time, Cheshire’s damp climate causes organic growth such as moss, lichen, black fungi, and dirt algae to build up on roofs, driveways, patios, and masonry. Beyond looking unappealing, heavy moss and lichen retain moisture, which can cause roof tiles to crack during frost cycles, block guttering systems, and create hazardous, slippery surfaces underfoot.
At P D Roofing & Building Contractors Cheshire, we provide tailored high-pressure washing and low-pressure soft-washing services designed to thoroughly clean every exterior surface without causing damage. From delicate clay roof tiles to tough concrete block paving, our expert team restores your property to like-new condition.

Not all outdoor surfaces can withstand traditional high-pressure washing. Using high pressure on delicate modern renders, K-Rend, or clay roof tiles can strip surface coatings, force water under tiles, or wash away essential mortar joints.
Commercial High-Pressure Washing
Used for hard surfaces such as concrete driveways, block paving, and stone flagstones. Combined with flat surface rotary cleaners to ensure uniform cleaning without leaving unsightly wand stripes.
Low-Pressure Soft Washing
Combines high-flow low pressure with specialized, eco-friendly biocide solutions. Ideal for roofs, render, timber cladding, and UPVC elements, safely dissolving biological growth at the root level.
Our Step-by-Step Power Washing Process
We follow a clear, professional approach to guarantee outstanding results and protect your surrounding garden and property.
Inspection & Preparation
We inspect the surface area, identify fragile structural joints or mortar, cover surrounding plants/furniture, and block downpipes to keep debris out of drainage systems.
Deep Washing Treatment
Depending on the surface, we apply appropriate soft-wash biocides or rotary high-pressure water streams to thoroughly lift dirt, moss, algae, oil, and atmospheric pollution.
Finishing & Re-Sanding
Once dried, block paving is re-sanded with kiln-dried sand to stabilise the joints. Anti-fungal biocide is applied to roofs and patios to slow down future moss and algae growth.
Power Washing FAQs
Will power washing damage my roof tiles or render?
No. We do not use high pressure on delicate roof tiles or rendered walls. Instead, we use gentle manual scraping combined with low-pressure soft washing and specialist biocides. High pressure is reserved exclusively for tough surfaces like concrete block paving and stone patios.
How long will my roof or driveway stay clean?
Because we treat surfaces with professional biocidal wash treatments, organic growth like moss and black algae is killed at the root. Treated surfaces typically remain clean for 3 to 5 years, depending on surrounding tree foliage and damp conditions.
Do you re-sand block paving after pressure washing?
Yes. Pressure washing block paving removes jointing sand along with dirt and weeds. Once the drive is completely dry, we sweep kiln-dried sand into all joints to maintain structural stability and prevent block movement.
Are your cleaning chemicals safe for plants and pets?
Yes. We pre-soak surrounding lawns and garden plants with clean water to dilute any overspray and use fully compliant, biodegradable cleaning agents that are safe for pets once dry.
