Exterior Cleaning – Pressure Washing and Steam Cleaning

We have a minimum job cost of £185 + VAT.

This covers the hot washing of small, easily accessible sites including patios, front steps, terraces, balconies, basement areas, shop fronts and awnings.

Standard hot water pressure washing or steam cleaning: £1.85 per square metre.
These figures are given to provide a guide. However, each job is priced individually depending on the surface area to be cleaned, location of the site, access, surface area, degree of contamination, detergents and after-cleaning surface treatment required.

This does not include the cost of chemical cleaning or surface treatments available such as algae control sealing to prevent further staining or re-sanding of block paving.

Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Masonry Cleaning

Minimum job cost of £245 + VAT

Brick and stone cleaning is more labour intensive than pressure washing. Cold water will not remove all staining that has been absorbed into porous surfaces. However, in some instances steam cleaning will have an effect.

We remove surface grime, traffic film and carbon deposits using steam cleaning, chemical cleaning and, where necessary hand sanding on particularly stubborn areas.

In all instances of brick and stone cleaning it is necessary to either see photographs of the area to be cleaned or to visit the site in order to provide a quote.

Please email photographs to contact@immex.co.uk along with any available information about the work to be carried out.

Masonry paint removal

Minimum job cost £450 + VAT.

Due to the very nature of the task - removing unknown numbers of layers of paint – masonry paint removal is difficult and unpredictable work.

We use hot pressure washing and a non toxic, biodegradable paint stripper that produces non chemical paint waste.
Each job is priced individually depending on location, access and, most importantly, how many layers of paint there are on the building and how easily the paint can be removed. This depends on the age of the paint, whether the paint is water or oil based, the quality of the paint, it's adherence to the substrate, the quality of the substrate.

On older buildings we do on rare occasions come across lime coatings upon which no paint stripper will have an effect. On these occasions we consult with the client. We can remove this but only through mechanical abrasion. The same applies to "stabiliser" products that were applied in past decades in order to bind facades. We can also remove these coatings through abrasion.

It is often a good idea to carry out a small test area of a square metre or less at a cost of £150 + VAT. This will allow the client to see the condition of the brickwork underneath the paint and it will allow us to ascertain the extent of the works to be carried out. A quote is then provided. If the owner wishes to proceed with the project 50% of the cost of the test area is deducted from the invoice.
