Power washing
On an exterior job the walls get washed down before they are painted. It can be booked on its own too, for driveways, patios and paths.
Every job is done by Robbie.
Paint needs a clean surface to hold onto, so on an exterior job the walls and render are washed down before anything is coated. That wash is part of the exterior work, and if the drive or paths around the house need doing, they can be done in the same visit.
It can also be booked on its own. Years of dirt, algae and moss come off a driveway or patio in an afternoon, and the surface underneath is usually in better shape than anyone expected.
