Soft washing for Overberg homes

I clean black mould and algae off roofs, driveways, walls and patios with low-pressure washing that's safe for paint, plaster and tiles. I work alone with my own equipment, and quotes are free.

Roof cleaning

Moss, lichen and black streaks come off the tiles without me walking on the roof or blasting it. Low pressure means no cracked tiles and no water forced under them.

  • Concrete and clay tiles
  • Lichen, moss and black streaks
  • Growth is killed, so it stays off longer

Driveways and paving

Concrete, pavers and cobbles go grey and then green. I lift the grime off and rinse it properly so the surface isn't slippery when it rains.

  • Concrete, pavers and cobbles
  • Slippery green growth removed
  • Paths and walkways too

Walls

Boundary walls and retaining walls are usually the first thing on a property to go green. I clean them without blowing out the mortar or etching the plaster.

  • Boundary and retaining walls
  • Vibracrete and precast panels
  • Plastered and face brick walls
  • Great before painting or selling

Patios and outdoor areas

Pool surrounds, decks, braai areas and stoeps. These get slippery faster than anything else on the property, so I clean the surface and the edges properly.

  • Pool surrounds and decks
  • Braai and entertainment areas
  • Steps, stoeps and pathways
  • Slip hazards removed

It's cleaning with a solution instead of with force. I apply a cleaning mix at low pressure, leave it to kill the algae, mould and lichen, then rinse it off. Because the growth is dead rather than just knocked off the surface, it takes a lot longer to come back, and nothing gets blasted.

It shouldn't, and that's the whole point of doing it this way. The pressure is about what a garden hose gives, so tiles don't crack and paint doesn't strip. On older or flaky surfaces I test a small patch out of sight first and show you before carrying on.

I wet down and cover the garden beds first, rinse the plants while I work and again at the end. Keep dogs and cats inside until I've finished rinsing, then they're fine to go out.

Most driveways, patios and walls take two to four hours. Roofs and bigger properties take longer. I'll tell you roughly how long when I quote. You don't need to be home, as long as I can get to the gate and an outside tap.

WhatsApp me a few details and a photo or two, and I'll send you a price, usually the same day. It's a fixed price, so what I quote is what you pay. If you decide not to go ahead, that's fine.

The Overberg coast, Rooi-Els to Arabella

I'm based here, so I know what the sea air does to a roof or a south-facing wall, and I'll travel a bit further for bigger jobs.
