Driveways, paths, render, roofs and gutters - the dirt you stop seeing but buyers do not.
Short answer
Exterior pressure washing removes the grey film, moss and mould that builds on driveways, paths, render and roofs. It is one of the most visually dramatic and least expensive pre-listing jobs, and it often makes a property look several years newer in the listing photograph.

Dirt accumulates slowly enough that the people living with it stop seeing it. A buyer sees it in the first photograph. Pressure washing is the closest thing to a free upgrade that exists in home preparation.
Pressure is not always the answer
Render, painted surfaces and older weatherboard damage easily under a high-pressure lance. Those surfaces get soft washing – a low-pressure application of a cleaning solution that kills mould and lichen, then a gentle rinse. Using the wrong method costs more to fix than the wash saved.
What we clean, in order of visible impact
- Driveway and entry path – the first thing in frame
- Render, brick or weatherboard on the street-facing elevation
- Roof and gutters, especially where staining runs down the facade
- Fences, retaining walls and pool surrounds
- External window glass and frames
Time it right
Wet render photographs darker than dry render, and a freshly washed driveway takes a day or more to return to its true colour. We schedule exterior washing several days ahead of photography rather than the morning of.
