When Should I Pressure Wash My Building?

Writer: callum jonescallum jones

As winter rears its head, the window for when you should get your building professionally pressure washed narrows. But when is the optimal time to schedule a cleaning?

 

Pressure washing in spring or autumn often yields the best results. These seasons offer milder temperatures, which will reduce the risk of damage to your surfaces. Washing between March and November, when temperatures are more stable, ensures a thorough clean without the risk of freezing or rapid drying. Spring is particularly beneficial, as it removes grime accumulated during winter.



A professional pressure washing service can be highly effective in removing dirt, mould, and mildew from a building's exterior. However, it must be done correctly. Improper use of high pressure or hot water can damage surfaces, stripping paint, cracking render, or even harming the structure. Hiring a professional ensures a safe and effective clean.

 

Aside from seasonal considerations, it's wise to pressure wash if you notice visible build-up of mould, algae, or grime. Regular cleaning, typically once a year by trained operatives like CORE Grounds Maintenance, helps maintain the building's appearance and prevents long-term damage. It's also a great way to prepare for any property-related events or listings. We know how to thoroughly clean buildings so they stay looking great year-round, employing the use of different solutions and chemicals to keep troublesome build-ups at bay for longer.


Pressure washing involves using a high-pressure spray of up to 3000 psi to clean surfaces like brick, concrete, and wood. The process starts with preparation, removing obstacles and protecting plants. Equipment is set up with suitable nozzles, and a cleaning solution may be applied for tough stains but. Water pressure is adjusted to suit different materials, ensuring thorough cleaning without damage. After washing, the area is rinsed and inspected for quality.
