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.
Wetherby roofs and walls, specifically
The roofline in Wetherby is clay pantile and Welsh slate. Magnesian limestone is soft and porous and it scours. Too much pressure leaves a permanently lighter, rougher patch that no amount of later work will blend back in, so limestone is a soft wash surface.
Magnesian limestone is soft and porous, and scours visibly under too much pressure — one of the surfaces where the wrong lance leaves a permanent mark.
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 Wetherby
What we are usually quoting in Wetherby is Georgian and Victorian limestone townhouses near the centre, and a large stock of modern detached housing around it — and that is half the price on its own, because it sets the size of the job.
The other half is access: among the easiest on the patch — the newer estates have driveways and side access, and the older centre is mostly two storeys.
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.
It is sheltered, low-lying and drier than the moor-edge towns to the west. Wetherby is about 11 miles from our base in Harrogate, comfortably inside the patch we cover.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
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.
Do you pressure wash from top to bottom or bottom to top?
Wash downwards, so the dirt runs off surfaces you have not cleaned yet rather than back onto ones you have. On walls, wetting from the bottom up first stops the dry surface drawing dirty water in and streaking — but the cleaning pass itself runs down.
