Pressure washing across Luton and south Bedfordshire
Luton’s commercial buildings take a lot of wear. Sites around London Luton Airport, the M1 and the business parks such as Capability Green and Butterfield pick up engine fumes and road grime, while car parks, loading bays and paving build up oil, chewing gum, moss and algae. Left alone, that dirt makes a site look neglected, and algae on paving makes it slippery.
Locus Services pressure washes commercial buildings and hard surfaces across Luton, Dunstable, Houghton Regis and the rest of south Bedfordshire. We clean one-off or on a regular schedule, and we can work at night or at weekends so your site stays open.
Facade cleaning: before and after
What we pressure wash in Luton
Cladding and building exteriors
Metal and composite cladding, brickwork, render and signs on offices, warehouses and industrial units, cleaned from the ground or from MEWPs. See facade cleaning.
Car parks
Multi-storey, surface and staff car parks, including oil stains, gum and the build-up on ramps and stairwells. See car park cleaning.
Loading bays, yards and concrete
Dock areas, service yards and concrete aprons, where diesel, oil and tyre marks build up around busy loading doors.
Paving, entrances and walkways
Shopping and office entrances, pavements and walkways, where chewing gum, algae and moss spoil the look and raise the risk of slips.
Graffiti
Paint and tags on walls, shutters and paving, removed with a method suited to the surface. See graffiti removal.
The right method for each surface
High pressure suits concrete and hard paving, but it can damage soft brick, stone, mortar and some cladding coatings. We test first and adjust the pressure, nozzle and cleaning chemical to the surface. For older brick and stone we use DOFF cleaning, which uses high-temperature steam at low pressure, and our steam cleaners can often get good results without chemicals at all.
We leave the area clean and safe for staff and visitors when we finish.
Working at height and around your site
Our operatives are IPAF-trained for MEWPs and work to risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) agreed with you before we start. On busy sites we fence off the area we are working in and plan the work around deliveries and opening hours.
Pressure washing often goes hand in hand with gutter cleaning and high level cleaning, so we can do them on the same visit.
