When you're looking to start cleaning the outside of your home, whether that is a dirty patio, block paving, or even just your parking space, you'll likely find a range of washing services. Some places in Middleton Rochdale will offer pressure washing services, some will offer jet washing services and others might offer power washing services. But what's the difference? Which one's worth doing?
A jet washing service and pressure washing service are exactly the same. They use highly pressurised water at a relatively low temperature to blast away dirt. They're an incredibly effective cleaning method and professional jet washing is super fast and affordable.
Power washing on the other hand uses the same high-pressure water but at a high temperature. A power washing service is not offered as often when it comes to jobs like patio cleaning and is not as good of a cost-effective method as pressure washing services. However, when used in the right way on the right surfaces, both can do an excellent job.
When it comes to your patio cleaning or washing any outdoor surfaces, though, a pressure washing/jet washing service is definitely the way forward. You'll know why once you've had your home pressure washed! Contact our Middleton Rochdale team today to discuss a jet wash and find out more!
Once you reach out to NW Wash about our pressure washing service in Middleton Rochdale, one of our jet-washing operatives will come to see you. As a gardening specialist, they will be able to assess what kind of jet washing services you need and will measure the outdoor surfaces to ensure they can give you an accurate quote.
From there, the specialist pressure washing equipment will be prepared (please consider that this requires both electricity and a running water source). They will use the powerful stream of water to easily remove motor oil stains, dirt, grime, and anything else from the exterior surfaces.
The pressure washing machine will make easy work of most substances, giving you your outdoor space back in no time.
Too many people pay the inside of their homes way more attention than the external aspects, but this is dangerous. By ignoring the outside of your home, you risk not catching potential signs of damage, and you encourage the growth of harmful substances like mould.
The outsides of our home are constantly exposed to the elements. Whether you're talking about a parking space, dirty patios, or outdoor paving, accumulated grime can build up anywhere and cause damage and slippery stains.
With the help of NW Wash's expert pressure washing services, you can avoid harm coming to your property. Our pressure washing specialists know exactly which jet washing service you will benefit from, and can target the patio cleaning service or wall cleaning job to suit your specific needs.
Since pressure washing uses such a high-pressure stream of water, it does a fantastic job of removing accumulated dirt from patios, walls, and other surfaces. The beam of water blasts away any marks, leaving you with a spotless outside.
Since your exterior surfaces are always being subjected to natural elements, they are a breeding ground for mould, mildew, algae, and even fungi. To tackle this, we can use biocides and detergents that help protect your surfaces from organic growth.
Driveways, car parks, and parking spaces often find themselves covered in various oil and grease stains. These can be really hard to tackle, and when left alone, they can be really slippery and quite dangerous. With only water, our pressure washing service can jet wash these stains away.
Often people think that pressure washing sounds great and that since it's only water, they can jet wash themselves. However, there are a number of reasons why you should leave the jet washing to the professionals.
Jet washing equipment is not cheap, and renting it can be quite difficult to do. When you hire our pressure washing services, we bring all the equipment with us.
Jet washing involves using incredibly high-pressure streams of water. This is fine when done by a professional, but in untrained hands, it can be incredibly harmful to your property. Damage to your property may include harm to plants, harm to lawns, cracked tiles, cracked brick, and even discolouration. We cover roof tile damage in our post “Does pressure washing damage roof tiles?”.
Using pressure washing equipment without training can lead to injury. Just as with the potential damage to your property, there is the risk of jet washing causing injury, too. The high-pressure washing can be hard to control and can cause strain on the wrists. If other people get in the way of the stream of water, they could suffer any number of injuries. Should you choose to jet wash and use a chemical detergent, you could make your pet or children unwell if they are allowed to go near the surface before the detergents are dry.
The amount of water that comes out when jet washing is extreme, and jet washing professionals are trained to work in such a way that when they are doing a patio cleaning service they do not waste too much water. Doing your own jet washing service could lead to huge water bills!
Anyone who hasn't used a jet washer before will likely find that the equipment is not super straightforward. There are all kinds of attachments and nozzles for each type of pressure washing service. Trying to navigate this without training can be incredibly overwhelming.
As well as causing damage to the surfaces you have pressure washed, doing your own pressure washing can cause damage to the flower beds, lawns, and even block drains if not done correctly.
In the UK it is illegal to dump wastewater in the storm drain. As a result, wastewater has to be dealt with accordingly. If you do your own pressure washing service and do not come up with a way to deal with your own wastewater, you could face a hefty fine.
Our jet washing services in Middleton Rochdale are comprehensive. We will clean almost all outdoor materials, even at short notice. We will clean:
All of these surfaces can benefit from being pressure washed and can be brought back to life by our professional jet-washing team.
Depending on what it is that you need cleaning, and what your outdoor areas are suffering from, it may be worth talking to us about protecting your outdoor surfaces. There are coatings that you can get for things like your driveway, patio and even decking that can make a huge difference in how often you have to clean the surface.
For exterior surfaces that are particularly prone to mould, mildew, or organic growth, you can invest in coatings that prevent your patio or driveway from spores and moisture. As a result, you will see a reduction in growth.
You can get driveway coatings that protect your driveway from those nasty oil and grease stains. These coatings make it easier for you to clean them off, preventing the need for pressure washing on a regular basis. We cover this in more detail in our post “why pressure wash your driveway?”.
Our pressure washing services cost will depend on a number of factors. It will in part depend on what material it is that you'd like us to clean (terracotta, brick, patio, driveway, wood). Then we will look at how large the surface is (obviously a large service will take more time). For example, cleaning garden furniture is likely to cost less than cleaning an entire garden's worth of paving slabs!
Another factor that might impact our quote for our pressure washing services is whether there are any issues with drainage, water sources, electricity, or access. All of these things are needed in order to provide a top-quality pressure washing service, and without them, we may struggle to use the pressure washer. You can get a rough estimate for driveways in our post “how much does driveway pressure washing cost?”.
To find out our final price and get your property jet washed, contact NW Wash today to discuss our competitive price list and our expert cleaning services. We will arrange for someone to come and visit your property to get you an official final price quote as soon as we can.

The frequency of pressure washing depends on your property's exposure to dirt and grime, but a general recommendation is to have it done annually to maintain its appearance.
Pressure washing can clean a variety of surfaces, including driveways, sidewalks, decks, siding, fences, and more, effectively removing dirt, algae, and stains.
Yes, when conducted by professionals, pressure washing is environmentally friendly as it typically uses less water than traditional cleaning methods and can avoid the need for harsh chemicals.
