Learn how to properly maintain your specific surfaces
Understanding Your Surfaces
Different exterior materials have different cleaning requirements. Using the wrong techniques or pressure can cause damage that's more expensive to repair than the original problem.
Click on your surface type to learn about proper maintenance, common problems, and the best cleaning approaches.
Concrete
Concrete is a durable popular surface for driveways and patios. However, it requires regular professional maintenance to prevent staining, algae growth, and deterioration.
Block Paving
Block paving creates attractive, practical driveways and patios. Regular professional cleaning maintains appearance and prevents damage from biological growth and staining.
Tarmac
Tarmac driveways are practical and cost-effective. However, they require regular professional maintenance to prevent deterioration from weather, staining, and biological growth.
Brick & Stone
Brick and stone facades are beautiful and durable but require expert cleaning to prevent damage. Professional care maintains appearance and protects these valuable materials.
Timber & Wood
Timber requires specialized cleaning to prevent damage while maintaining appearance. Professional care protects wooden features and prolongs their lifespan.
