Pressure Washing
What is the difference between your service and me doing it myself?
While you can pressure wash your own driveway, our service uses commercial-grade equipment that is significantly more powerful than domestic washers. We also use professional cleaning solutions and techniques to achieve a deeper, more uniform clean that lasts longer. Our process ensures stubborn stains, moss, and algae are completely removed without damaging your surface.
Will pressure washing damage my driveway?
No. Our team is highly trained to use the correct pressure settings and nozzles for different types of surfaces. We take great care to ensure the process is effective at cleaning without causing any damage to your driveway.
How long does the service take?
The time it takes depends on the size and condition of your driveway. A standard driveway typically takes a few hours to complete, but we will provide a more accurate estimate during our initial consultation.
How often should I have my driveway pressure washed?
For best results, we recommend a professional pressure wash every 12-24 months. This will help maintain its appearance and prevent the build-up of dirt, weeds, and organic growth.
Conservatory Roof Conversions
Will a solid roof conversion make my conservatory dark?
While a solid roof blocks out the direct sunlight that a glass or polycarbonate roof lets in, the amount of light in the room is not significantly reduced. Many of our customers opt to install Velux windows or integrated LED lighting to create a bright and comfortable space. The solid roof eliminates harsh glare, making the room more pleasant to be in.
Is a solid roof conversion a complicated or messy job?
We strive to make the process as simple and mess-free as possible. The work is mostly carried out from the outside, and we take great care to protect your property and clear away all waste. The entire project is managed by our professional team, from the initial consultation to the final finish.
Do I need planning permission for a conservatory roof conversion?
In most cases, planning permission is not required for a conservatory roof conversion as it falls under “permitted development.” However, there may be some exceptions depending on your location and the specifics of your property. We can advise you on this during our consultation, and we always recommend checking with your local authority to be sure.
How long does the conversion process take?
The conversion process is surprisingly quick. A typical installation can be completed within a few days, though this can vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. We will give you a clear timeline when we provide your quote.
Does the new roof come with a warranty?
Yes, our conservatory roof conversions are backed by a comprehensive warranty. We use high-quality, durable materials that are built to last. We will provide you with all the warranty information during your consultation.
