Steam Cleaning | Pressure Washing | Chemical Cleaning

Steam Cleaning / Pressure Washing is a form of cleaning using high pressure water (low – 4,500 P.S.I.) and either cold or hot (up to 150 degrees) in order to remove dirt, grime, algae, moss, and loose paint.

We use a self contained trailer unit for this work with its own integral water tank which requires no external power source.

Very little damage – if any – can be caused using this cleaning method but it sometimes has its limitations unless a chemical is used.

Chemical Cleaning is where a chemical is applied to the area being cleaned in order to remove harsh staining or paint. This is normally applied by hand using a brush or a low pressure sprayer and then removed with a hot / cold pressure washer. This process might have to be applied more than once, especially when a degreaser is required first, then the cleaning agent and finally a neutraliser.
