Pressure Washing in Queluz

About our service in Queluz

Old estate paving needs reading before it is washed. Slabs and blocks laid on sand have usually lost some of their jointing already, edges have sunk where cars turn, and beneath a green film there are often loose units that only friction is holding in place. That is why pressure is matched to the substrate rather than set once for the whole site, and why we prove the setting on a hidden section, typically behind a garage bay or on a path along the back of the block. A wide fan across the units lifts the growth without emptying the joints; a narrow jet into the joints hollows out the bed and leaves a trip hazard where there was only a stain. Balcony floors are the other standard Queluz job, and they are done flat by flat with the residents' cooperation. Tiles are checked for hollow sounds and cracked grout first, since a balcony is directly above someone else's ceiling and water forced through a failed joint reappears downstairs. Drainage outlets are cleared and the water is controlled rather than simply hosed off the edge, which otherwise soaks the flats below and everything on their washing lines. Around the site, entry panels, meter boxes, lighting, cabling and planting are protected before the machines start, and gullies are covered so that moss, grit and silt are collected and taken away instead of being flushed into the drainage. We agree the water source with the administration and plan volumes, since municipal restrictions on water use can apply in a dry summer. We are clear about what remains afterwards. Growth on shaded paving and on the north side of the blocks will return, so the useful arrangement is a periodic clean at an interval the condomínio agrees rather than a one-off. Oil under the parking bays, rust runs beneath railings and old paint spills tend to leave a permanent mark, and some stains will not come out however long they are worked on. Cleaned surfaces are handed back dry, not wet. Where the blocks are due for repainting, washing is the first stage and the render needs proper drying time before any coating goes on, never the other way round.
