Streets in Tonypandy are steep, the terraces are tightly packed and the back gardens often drop away behind the house. Those conditions produce plenty of damp, shaded concrete and stone, and the steps and paths are usually the worst affected. We use power washing to clear moss, algae and grime from yards, steps, paths, patios, driveways, decking and walls.
Because space is limited, careful planning counts. We work out access, protect pots, doors and washing lines, and keep spray under control so it does not reach neighbouring properties. We also cover Trealaw, Penygraig, Llwynypia, Porth and Clydach Vale, so please ask if you are in any of these areas.
A typical Tonypandy terrace has a small rear yard, a few steps up or down, and woodland on the valley side behind. Shade from the slope and surrounding walls stops the ground from drying, and the combination of steps and wet concrete can be dangerous. Moss grows thickest in corners and along the base of walls, which are the spots people notice first.
We tackle these small spaces with controlled passes and a lower splash setting, which keeps dirty water from bouncing off walls and onto windows. Steps are done last in the sequence so that you are not walking on wet, half-cleaned ground. When it is finished you should have a yard that dries more readily and is safer to use. It is a tidy, methodical way to work.
Access is often the main question on a terraced street. We need to know whether we can reach the back garden through the house, along a lane or via a shared passage, and where the water supply is. Knowing this in advance lets us bring suitable equipment and plan around parked cars, narrow gates and steep approaches in Tonypandy. A quick call or photo of the route saves surprises.
We are mindful that neighbours are close. We keep spray low, avoid blowing debris across boundaries and clean up thoroughly as we go. Concrete and paving take a firm wash, older stone and brick a softer one, and decking is cleaned along the grain. Plants, pots and air bricks are protected, and anything fragile will be pointed out to you. We leave the yard as we found it, only cleaner.
Get in touch with a description of your yard, including its approximate size, the number of steps and how we would reach it. A photo of the worst area helps. We will give you straightforward advice on what to clean, agree the work with you and carry it out tidily, leaving your Tonypandy yard and steps cleaner and safer.

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.

We try to avoid it. We use controlled passes, keep the nozzle low and angle spray away from boundaries and open windows. It can still be noisy for a while, so a quick word with next door beforehand is considerate.
Removing algae and moss usually improves grip a great deal. Wet or frosty weather can still make steps treacherous, so take care and use handrails where you have them. We cannot promise a surface will never be slippery.
