Power Washing
Power Washing across East Ayrshire
It is not just how it looks. Green growth on a path is genuinely slippy in the winter. Power washing, pressure washing or jet washing, call it what you like — it is the same job.
This is the job with the biggest before-and-after in the whole list. Drives, patios, monoblock, slabs, decking and paths that have gone green and black over a few wet Ayrshire winters, taken back to the colour they were when they went down.
John does it properly — the right pressure for the surface, and monoblock rejointed with kiln dried sand afterwards, because blasting the sand out of the joints and walking away is how a drive starts to spread.
What gets cleaned
- Monoblock driveways, rejointed with fresh sand after washing
- Patios and slabs gone green, black or slippy
- Paths and steps that are genuinely dangerous in frost
- Decking cleaned back before treating
- Garage and shed bases, and the front of a garage door
- A house going on the market that needs to look sharp for photos
How it goes
How the job goes
No surprises and nothing starts before you know the price.
- LookThe surface, its condition, and what it will realistically come back to. Free.
- TreatHeavy moss and growth loosened first rather than blasted at.
- WashThe right pressure for that surface — enough to clean, not enough to damage.
- RejointKiln dried sand back into monoblock joints, and the run-off cleared up.
What it costs
Priced by the area and the state of it after a look. A patio that gets done every couple of years and one that has not been touched in ten are different jobs.
John will be straight with you about the result. Deep staining, oil, and paving that has started to break up will improve a lot but they will not come back to new, and he would rather say that first than after.

Questions
Common questions
Will power washing damage my slabs or monoblock?
Not at the right pressure with the right technique. Damage happens when too much pressure gets used on soft or already failing paving — which is why he looks at the surface first.
Do you put the sand back in the monoblock?
Yes. Kiln dried sand back into the joints is part of the job. Washing a drive and leaving the joints empty is how the blocks start to move.
How long will it stay clean?
In this climate, a couple of years before the green starts to come back — longer on a drive that gets sun and airflow, shorter on a shaded north facing path.
Do you need to use my water and electricity?
Usually an outside tap is the handy option, and John will ask. He will tell you what he needs when he prices it.
Can you clean decking without wrecking it?
Yes — decking takes a lower pressure and a fan, going with the grain. Done wrong it furs the timber up, which is exactly why it is worth having somebody do it who has done it before.
