Pressure washing for driveways and walkways, with the cleaning approach matched to the surface. Tell us about the area, the soiling and how the property is used.
A good cleaning brief sets expectations before work starts. Surface wear, old coatings and embedded stains can affect the result. Altitude provides pressure washing as part of its exterior maintenance work for homes and businesses.
Identify the surface and approximate area if known. Include turning areas, slopes and any part shared with neighbours. Photographs help show the overall condition and which marks concern you, while vehicle access needs to be planned around the work.
Describe steps, narrow passages and doorways that people need to use. A cleaning plan should consider how the work is divided and when the area can be used again. Tell us about tenants, deliveries or customers who rely on the route.
Different surfaces and finishes call for different treatment. Worn concrete, coatings and paving joints should be considered before the cleaning method is chosen. Some staining may remain, so agree the intended result rather than assuming every mark can be removed.
| Include in the brief | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Surface and visible condition | Helps identify suitable cleaning and areas requiring extra care. |
| Type and location of stains | Separates general soiling from marks needing a specific discussion. |
| Water and drainage information | Supports planning for the site and wash water. |
| Vehicles and pedestrian access | Lets the work be coordinated around everyday use. |
Not necessarily. The surface, type of stain and how deeply it has penetrated affect the result. Point out the marks that matter most so expectations can be discussed before work is agreed.
Tell us who uses it, which areas are shared and who can approve the work. Access and timing should be agreed with the relevant property contact before the cleaning scope is finalised.
Yes, ask about both when you enquire. The scope and sequence can be discussed together so the cleaning plan accounts for other exterior maintenance happening at the property.
Send a wide photograph, the address and the areas you want included. Mention stains, surface damage and any access restrictions.
