Why it matters
Most of what looks like permanent staining on a wall, a path or a drive is a living film of algae sitting on top of the surface. The skill is not the machine — it is knowing how much pressure a given surface can take before you start removing the surface itself.
Leeds roofs and walls, specifically
The roofline in Leeds is Welsh slate on the terraces, concrete tile on the 1930s stock, and a good deal of shared or near-touching gutter line where terraces run together. Brick takes a moderate pressure across the face but the mortar joints do not, and a lance held on a soft joint will empty it. The pointing is what sets the limit.
Terraced gutter runs often cross more than one property, so access and neighbour agreement matter more here than anywhere else on the patch.
How the job runs
Identify what the surface actually is, because that decides the method rather than the other way round.
From there the method is the same wherever we do it — the pressure washing page sets out all five stages, and what a proper job includes.
What it costs in Leeds
What we are usually quoting in Leeds is mostly terraced and back-to-back through the inner ring, with interwar semis further out — and that is half the price on its own, because it sets the size of the job.
The other half is access: the terraced runs are the constraint — a gutter often crosses two or three properties, so the neighbours have to be squared away before the van arrives, and residents’ parking decides where we can actually set up.
Every quote is free and fixed before anything starts, and there is no call-out fee. As a guide, £150–£500 for a typical drive, path or patio is the typical range for this work in the UK — large areas, soft washing and sealing sit above this. That is the market rather than a quote: yours is priced on your actual property, and the pressure washing page lists everything that moves it.
When to do it
Anything from spring to autumn. The surface wants a few dry days afterwards, which matters most for sealing, and hard frost stops the job because standing water freezes in the joints.
City air keeps a film of traffic soiling on north elevations that reads as damp when it is dirt. Leeds is about 16 miles from our base in Harrogate, comfortably inside the patch we cover.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is softwashing better than pressure washing?
They are different tools, not better and worse. Soft washing uses low pressure and a biocide to kill growth and let it weather off — right for roofs, render, painted walls and soft stone. Pressure washing removes what is on the surface mechanically — right for block paving, flags and concrete. Using the second where the first belongs is how surfaces get damaged.
When should you not power wash your house?
On render, on painted masonry, on soft limestone, on roofs, and anywhere the pointing is already loose. All of those are coatings or soft surfaces where pressure removes the material rather than the dirt. They want a soft wash instead — same result, no damage.
