Pressure Washing in Odivelas
We work in Odivelas and travel out to Pontinha, Famões, Póvoa de Santo Adrião, Olival Basto, Caneças and Ramada. Much of the concelho is built on slopes, and the houses show it: driveways that fall towards a garage door, walls that retain the garden next door, terraces on the low side of the plot and yards squeezed between buildings. Some of these streets are older and well settled, others were finished recently, so on one job we are washing weathered concrete and blockwork and on the next a new paved forecourt. In both cases the useful step is the same, which is looking at the surface and testing it before deciding how it should be cleaned.

About our service in Odivelas
A driveway that falls towards a garage is the job we get called to most, and it is the one where careless washing does real harm. Everything the jet lifts travels downhill towards the door, the threshold and often a drainage channel that has silted up over the years, so the sequence has to be planned: the channel and gully are cleared and covered first, the surface is swept, and the work runs in bands with the residue collected at the low point rather than pushed under the door into the garage. Here pressure is matched to the substrate, tried on a discreet section near the gate before anything else, and kept moderate on the smooth cement finishes that mark so easily. Retaining and boundary walls are the other constant. They stay damp because they hold wet ground, so algae and dark growth cover them, and the honest conversation is about cause rather than colour: a wall whose drainage has failed will be green again quickly, and no amount of pressure changes that. We clean, treat the growth to slow its return, and report what we can see about the drainage instead of quietly washing over it. Around the property, gate motors, intercoms, lighting, sockets, irrigation and planting are protected before we start, and metal gates and railings are washed gently, since a jet strips paint from ironwork and leaves the rust underneath exposed to the next rain. Water is planned rather than assumed. We agree at the survey where the supply and power will come from, and how much water the job needs, because summers here are dry and municipal restrictions on use can apply. And we tell you in advance what will still be there afterwards. Oil where a car has stood for years, rust bleeding from a gatepost fixing, cement smears from building work and dark staining under a leaking gutter usually fade rather than clear, and some stains will not come out. Yards and drives are handed back dry. Where a wall or a gate is going to be painted, the washing comes first and the surface must dry properly before any coating is applied.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Odivelas homeowners want to know:
The retaining wall behind the house is black. Is that mould?
It is usually a mixture of algae, mould and lichen living on moisture coming through the wall, which is what retaining walls do: they hold back damp ground. Cleaning takes the growth off and a treatment slows its return, so the wall looks and smells better. What it does not do is dry the wall out. If the drainage behind it has blocked or was never adequate, the growth comes back, and the real fix is drainage work. We will tell you which of the two you are looking at instead of selling you the same clean twice a year.
Our driveway slopes to the garage. Where does the water end up?
Wherever we plan for it to go, and that plan is made before the machine is started. The channel across the door and the gully are cleared and covered, the surface is swept so grit is not carried down, and we wash in bands from the top with the residue gathered at the low point and lifted out rather than pushed under the door. Where the threshold seal is poor or the channel is broken, we point it out first, because that is the moment to fix it rather than after your garage floor has been flooded.
Can the gate and railings be washed at the same time?
Yes, and they are done differently from the drive. Painted ironwork is washed at low pressure and often by hand, because a jet gets under the paint film at any chip and lifts it, exposing rust that then bleeds down the wall or the paving. Aluminium and powder-coated gates take a gentle wash with the right detergent. If we find the paint already failing or rust under the surface, we will say that cleaning is cosmetic and the gate needs rubbing down and repainting to actually stop the deterioration.
