At Balo Jetwash, we believe the secret to a flawless clean isn’t just skill – it’s also having the right tools for the job. Each surface presents its own challenges, and that’s why we use a wide variety of pressure washing equipment to deliver outstanding results across Sutton Coldfield and beyond.

In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the key equipment we use daily and explain what surfaces they’re best suited for.

Turbo Nozzle – Powerful and Precise
Our go-to tool for the toughest jobs, the turbo nozzle produces a high-pressure rotating water jet ideal for deep cleaning block paving and heavily soiled hard surfaces. It’s especially effective on areas with stubborn moss or deep-rooted weeds.

Lance Gun – Dual Nozzle Control
This piece of kit combines two nozzles: one with a 20° spray angle and one with a 65° angle. We typically use the lance gun for smaller surface areas or to rinse down and consolidate debris after the main clean. It’s perfect for gathering waste into manageable piles for bagging and removal from site.

20°–40° Gun – Low Pressure, Delicate Finish
When it comes to delicate surfaces, this lower-pressure gun is our tool of choice. It’s perfect for resin-bound driveways, painted surfaces, and even brickwork where high pressure might cause damage. Precision and care go hand-in-hand with this method.

 The Ultimate Guide

A clean and tidy block-paved driveway seriously boosts your home's kerb appeal and overall value. In Sutton Coldfield and the wider Birmingham area, however, our local weather and environmental conditions mean block paving can quickly become grubby, mossy, and slippery. In this post, we'll explain how professional pressure washing can transform your driveway, and exactly what you can expect from Balo Jetwash services.

Why Bother Cleaning Your Driveway?

Your driveway is often the first impression visitors get of your home. Dirty, moss-covered blocks don't just look naff; they're a slipping hazard, especially in our typically wet Brummie weather. Neglecting regular maintenance can also lead to costly repairs down the line.

Why Trust the Pros?

At Balo Jetwash, we've got the gear and expertise to sort out your driveway properly. Using industrial-grade equipment and powerful cleaning products, we guarantee a more thorough, longer-lasting clean than DIY methods.

How We Do It

1. Quotation

We start with a free, no-obligation on-site survey anywhere in Sutton Coldfield. Our experts check your driveway's condition, size, and required workload. We'll then give you a straightforward, transparent quote with absolutely no hidden costs.

2. Pressure Washing

Next up, our industrial pressure washers blitz away dirt, grime, moss, algae, and stubborn stains. This high-powered yet gentle approach restores your block paving without damaging it, bringing back its original good looks.

A kind client of mine recommended their neighbour, who reached out to me wanting their driveway cleaned. According to the homeowner, they also had a pressure washer, but it was clear that their machine wasn’t powerful enough to achieve a proper clean.

Once we agreed on the price and the date for the work, I turned up as arranged and got the job done. As you can see from the photos, the surface was quite discoloured, with dirt and grime settled deep within the gaps of the block paving. The job was made trickier by the fact that the entrance area had a large overhang, making it harder to clean.

Fortunately, within less than an hour of my arrival, I had the driveway looking spotless. Using a high-pressure washer, I removed the algae, moss, and various stains that had built up over time. To ensure long-lasting cleanliness, I then treated the surface with an industrial-grade cleaning detergent, which helps maintain the driveway in perfect condition for longer.

Pleasure to help

The other day, I received a call from a kind elderly gentleman who wanted a quote for cleaning his patio. He told me that the concrete paving stones had become heavily discoloured over the years and had never been properly cleaned before. His main concern was making sure the patio looked beautiful, as his grandchildren often played there, and he wanted them to enjoy a clean and pleasant space.

The following day, I personally went to carry out the job. The task itself was quite straightforward, as concrete paving is relatively easy to clean – especially with the high-quality equipment I use. After pressure washing the entire surface, I applied a specialised cleaning solution to restore the patio’s original beauty and prevent further discolouration.

When I showed the finished result to the customer, he was absolutely amazed. He said he had completely forgotten how stunning the patio could look! Moments like these remind me why I love what I do – seeing a happy customer makes all the effort worthwhile.

If you have a patio that needs a fresh look, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
