Commercial pressure washing services 

From a car park covered in oil stains, to a building exterior stained by the weather, passing traffic or graffiti, our teams have the equipment and expertise to deal with it properly. Whether you’re looking for a one-off jet pressure wash or a regular no hassle contract for scheduled commercial cleaning, our team can help.  

A building’s exterior condition can often be overlooked but makes a big difference to a business’s brand image, first impressions and general hygiene standards.

Dirt, grime, and built-up residue can make a well-run business look neglected. Our commercial pressure washing and jet washing services tackle the areas that regular cleaning can't reach, or that regular cleaning products aren’t designed for. Leaving your premises looking fresh, professional and well-maintained.

Why does your business need commercial pressure washing?

It's easy to overlook the exterior of your building when budgets are tight and everything else is a priority. But the condition of your premises says a lot about your business and neglecting it can have real consequences.

Here are the key reasons businesses across the UK invest in regular commercial jet washing:

Whether it's a customer walking into your shop, a client visiting your office or a delivery driver pulling into your loading bay. The outside of your building is what your visitors will notice first and will probably see things you don’t. A clean, well-maintained exterior signals professionalism and attention to detail. A grimy car park or stained building façade does the opposite.
 
It could mean the difference between a returning customer even your staff recruitment. 

Algae, moss and wet leaf debris on pathways, car parks and loading areas create genuine slip hazards. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Occupiers' Liability Act 1957, businesses have a duty of care to keep premises reasonably safe for employees, customers and visitors. Regular jet washing removes biological growth before it becomes a liability.

Algae, moss and lichen aren't just unsightly, they actively degrade surfaces over time. Left untreated, biological growth retains moisture and accelerates the breakdown of concrete, block paving, tarmac and brickwork.

Regular pressure washing is considerably cheaper than resurfacing or repair.

Bin stores, waste areas and food preparation exteriors can harbour bacteria, attract pests and generate odour if not kept clean. For businesses in food service, hospitality or healthcare, maintaining clean external areas is part of broader hygiene compliance, not just an aesthetic concern.

Regular pressure washing can help towards your hygiene rating and customer confidence. 

Many facilities managers include external cleaning as part of a planned preventative maintenance (PPM) schedule. Keeping surfaces clean makes it easier to spot early signs of damage, cracks, drainage issues, deteriorating sealant, before they become costly problems.

Whether you're expecting a regulatory visit, hosting a corporate event or getting ready to list a commercial property for rent or sale, a professional jet wash can transform the appearance of a site quickly and cost-effectively. 

A clean, well-kept environment reflects positively on how your business treats its employees. It contributes to a sense of pride in the workplace and can improve staff wellbeing. 

Trying to hire commercial pressure washing machines and equipment to do it yourself could be costly and take time to arrange and call for quotes and logistics. Enlisting the services of one provider with everything needed or your building saves time, causes less disruption and and can save you money in the long run. 

Plus, in preventing future damage to your building caused by neglect and biological growth, you can save on future repairs and disruption.

Compliance, chemicals & environmental responsibility

We understand that for many businesses particularly those in regulated sectors, it's not just about getting a surface clean. It's about doing it safely, legally and responsibly.



All cleaning agents and degreasers used during our pressure washing services are selected and handled in line with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002. Our operatives are trained to assess chemical risk before use, store and transport substances correctly, and apply them safely to avoid harm to people, property or the surrounding environment.

Where required, we can provide COSHH documentation and method statements for your records, all uploaded to your Myphs portal for ease and organisation. This is particularly useful for facilities managers who need to demonstrate compliance during audits or inspections.

The cleaning agents used during a jet washing service vary depending on the surface type and the nature of the contamination. Commonly used treatments include:

Degreasers — applied to car parks, loading bays and industrial floors to break down oil, fuel and grease deposits before pressure washing.

Algaecides and biocides — used to treat and prevent the regrowth of algae, moss, lichen and biological matter on external surfaces such as paths, car parks and building exteriors.

Specialist surface cleaners — pH-neutral or low-alkalinity formulas for use on more sensitive surfaces such as natural stone, brick or painted render, where stronger chemicals could cause damage.

Sanitising agents — applied to bin stores, waste areas and high-contamination zones to eliminate bacteria and reduce odour.

All products we use are sourced from reputable suppliers and carry appropriate safety data sheets (SDS). We select biodegradable and environmentally responsible formulations wherever possible.

One area that's often overlooked but legally important is what happens to the water after pressure washing. Run-off from commercial jet washing can contain oils, detergents, biocides and suspended solids. Allowing this to enter surface water drains untreated can breach the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2016 and the Water Resources Act 1991.

Our teams assess drainage on site before starting work. Where run-off poses a risk to surface water or controlled water bodies, we take appropriate steps including directing water to foul sewer where possible or using containment and collection methods to ensure your site remains compliant.

All phs pressure washing operatives work under a site-specific risk assessment and method statement (RAMS). This covers operative safety (PPE including eye protection, waterproofs and non-slip footwear), safe exclusion zones for the public and third parties, and equipment inspection procedures. We carry full public liability insurance and can provide documentation on request.

Frequently asked questions

There’s no set price as each job is bespoke to customer needs and depends on several things. For example, how long the job takes, amount and type of cleaning solution needed, and whether we need to work at height to use more specialist equipment. The best way to find out is to get a free quote.  

It depends on the type of surface and how much traffic or exposure it receives. High-footfall areas like car parks and entrances typically benefit from quarterly or bi-annual cleaning, hospitality and healthcare might be more frequent.

We can advise on the right frequency for your site during your initial consultation. 

Not every surface is suitable for high-pressure washing. Our team will assess your surfaces before starting work and adjust pressure levels and techniques accordingly to avoid any damage.

Where required, we use specialist cleaning agents to treat stubborn stains, algae or biological matter. All chemicals are COSHH-compliant and applied safely by trained operatives.

No, we work with you to schedule cleaning at times that cause the least disruption, whether that's overnight, at weekends or during quieter periods.
