Pressure washing in Kensington & Chelsea.

Start with the smallest details at the entrance.

Photograph the step edge, pointing and any decorative tiles before the wide view. Old repairs, flaking coatings and loose bedding matter more to the method than the depth of the visible dirt. Include painted doors, metalwork and vents beside the proposed cleaning area.

We assess an entrance separately from a modern rear patio. The sensible outcome may be controlled surface cleaning, a discreet test or advice to use a specialist. Cleaning cannot make weakened masonry sound, and a uniform new colour is not a reasonable promise for every older surface.

Check the property before treating the surface.

The Royal Borough publishes conservation-area descriptions and maps, including Chelsea, Kensington and Earl’s Court. Consult the current heritage information for the address and ask the council where the status or proposed work is unclear.

Tell us about any listed-building status, landlord conditions or managing-agent requirements before a visit is arranged. Our general cleaning service does not include obtaining permissions or specialist conservation work. We can keep the proposed scope clear so you can discuss the actual work with the responsible person.

Kensington & Chelsea Council: conservation area information

Agree who can authorise a shared-space clean.

For a communal path, shared courtyard or entrance serving several flats, tell us who manages the area and who can approve the work. The person enquiring may not be the person responsible for the surface, the water supply or the building’s access arrangements.

We need an agreed plan for people coming and going, moving possessions and leaving doors secure. Include parking restrictions and the location of the tap. This practical information belongs in the quote before the work is booked, particularly where the entrance is the only way into the building.
