What is included in pressure washing
Follow the path in your photographs from the entrance to its far end. Show where concrete meets slabs, where the route passes beds and whether the surface changes at a step. A path may be more useful to clean than a whole patio when the concern is concentrated on a route. Explain the areas you want included and how you need to use them.
- Assess the agreed walking surfaces and deposits before selecting an approach.
- Plan cleaning around edges, adjacent planting and the movement of water.
- Confirm access to power and water and agree the sections to clean.
What is not included
- Loose steps and cracked slabs are separate repairs.
- Moving heavy fixtures and treating unrelated surfaces are not assumed.
- Sealing, repointing and levelling require a separate agreed scope.
Start where the path is normally used. A side gate, step or bend can interrupt the route even when the paved area looks small. Show the landing at the far end so we know whether it is part of the clean or a separate surface.
Paving at the bottom of a step can be a separate material from the path above it. Show the join and tell us if you want both surfaces considered. If the route goes round a corner, photograph the area on either side rather than trying to fit it all into one shot. Include any existing damage, such as a broken step edge or a slab that moves, so it can be discussed in advance. If other people need to use the route, give us the points they need to reach and when. That helps agree a workable order.
