A lot of Cowbridge properties come with generous gardens, long drives and a good deal of paving to look after. Over a few seasons that ground picks up algae, moss and dark staining, and it becomes a chore to keep tidy. Our power washing service restores patios, driveways, block paving, paths, steps, decking and garden walls, and does it in a careful, orderly way.
We begin with a walk round, so we know which surfaces need gentler treatment and which can take a firm wash. Plants, pots and doors are protected, and we clear up before we leave. We also work in Llanblethian, Llantwit Major, Llandough and St Hilary, as well as the town itself.
Village-edge gardens near the farmland around Cowbridge often stretch well beyond a single patio. There may be a sweeping drive, a side path, a seating area and a run of garden wall, and each one weathers differently. Open stretches in full sun stay fairly clean, while ground under boundary trees or beside tall hedges turns green and slimy within a season or two.
Rather than treat everything the same, we split the job into zones. Drives and wide hard surfaces are cleaned in steady, overlapping passes to keep the finish even. Shaded paths and corners get a little more time, because that is where growth is thickest. Working this way keeps the result consistent across the whole garden instead of patchy, and it means nothing gets missed.
The look of a power-washed surface in Cowbridge depends on technique as much as pressure. Too close and the nozzle can etch stripes into concrete or wear the face off paving. We keep a steady distance and consistent movement, and we change nozzles to suit the material. Natural stone and older flags get a softer approach than modern concrete or block paving.
Cleaning can leave the joints thin on block paving, so we offer to re-sand and seal the surface if you want a longer-lasting result. We also mind the small details, such as air bricks, door seals and delicate planting near the edges. Run-off is steered away from borders and the house wherever the ground allows, and we sweep up properly before leaving.
If you are tidying up before visitors, an event or just a long-overdue spring clean, tell us the areas you have in mind and roughly how much paving there is. Cowbridge gardens vary a lot, so a short conversation helps us suggest the right approach. We will agree the plan with you, do the work carefully, and leave the surfaces looking fresh.

Most South Wales patios need a proper clean about once a year, though shade, damp and nearby trees can mean more often or a little less.

Tree surgery is priced job by job rather than from a fixed list, so this guide explains what moves the cost up or down and how to get a firm figure.

There is no single perfect month for every tree, but winter suits many species, and this guide shows how timing, nesting birds and weather affect the choice.
Read the guide →Often we can, but it depends on how much surface there is and how heavily it is stained. We will talk through the size of the job with you beforehand and be straightforward if it is better done in stages.
Yes. Boundary and retaining walls collect green growth and dirt just like paths do. We use a softer approach on old brick or stone and take care with the pointing, so the wall is cleaned without being weakened.
Sealing is optional. It can help block paving and patios resist staining and slow regrowth, but not every surface needs it. We will explain the pros and cons for your particular paving, so you can decide with the facts.
