3. Why do patios in Truro turn green so quickly?
Truro experiences:
- High rainfall
- Mild winters
- Shaded gardens
- Coastal humidity
Algae thrives in damp conditions and grows particularly fast on north-facing patios and driveways.
Professional pressure washing removes the visible growth and, when needed, treatments can help slow regrowth.
4. Can pressure washing remove black spot from patios?
Yes — but technique matters.
Black spot (lichen) embeds deeply into porous surfaces like concrete and sandstone. It often requires:
- Pre-treatment
- Correct surface cleaner pressure
- Proper dwell time
DIY jet washers rarely remove it completely.
5. Is pressure washing safe for block paving?
Yes — when done correctly.
Improper technique can:
- Strip jointing sand
- Create uneven “zebra striping”
- Damage edges
Professional surface cleaners provide even results and we can re-sand block paving where necessary.
6. Do you cover villages outside Truro?
Yes. We regularly work in:
- Feock
- Devoran
- Playing Place
- Threemilestone
- Probus
- St Erme

7. How often should driveways be pressure washed in Truro?
In most parts of Truro and surrounding villages, every 12–18 months is recommended.
Shaded properties or those near trees may require annual cleaning due to faster algae buildup.
8. Will pressure washing damage my driveway?
Not when carried out professionally.
We adjust pressure levels based on surface type and condition. Controlled cleaning ensures surfaces are restored safely without etching or cracking.

Absolutely.

It’s a relatively small investment that creates a strong first impression.
14. What’s the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

Soft washing uses low pressure and specialist treatments for delicate surfaces like render.

Spring and summer are popular, but pressure washing can be carried out year-round in Cornwall’s mild climate.
Autumn is also a good time before winter algae becomes slippery.

In many cases, yes.
Oil stains may require pre-treatment with specialist degreasers before cleaning.
Results depend on how long the stain has been present.
