Which is better

When it comes to keeping your roof clean and protecting your home from long-term damage, homeowners are often faced with a common dilemma: Should you choose roof pressure washing or roof scraping?

At BALOJETWASH, we specialise in professional roof pressure washing, and in this article, we’ll walk you through the key differences between the two methods, so you can make the best choice for your property.

🧼 What Is Roof Pressure Washing?

Roof pressure washing is a professional cleaning method that uses high-pressure water jets to remove moss, algae, lichen, dirt, and other build-ups from your roof. It’s a fast, powerful, and highly effective way to give your roof a second life.

We use industrial-grade pressure washers combined with specialist roof-safe cleaning detergents (fully licensed and eco-compliant), designed to deep-clean the surface while protecting your tiles and prolonging the life of your roof.

When talking to customers, I often hear the same concerns about pressure washing. Some people believe it will damage their surfaces, harm their plants, or waste too much water. Others think they can achieve the same results with a small pressure washer from a hardware store. There are many myths surrounding professional pressure washing, and in this blog post, I want to clear them up once and for all.

So, let’s go through them one by one.

1. "Pressure washing will damage my surface."

Every surface is different, and that’s exactly why expertise and the right equipment are so important. A block-paved driveway, where weeds, moss, and grime have settled between the joints, requires a completely different cleaning approach than a resin-coated surface. But that doesn’t mean either is impossible to clean. It’s simply a matter of using the right tools and techniques.

Since I do this for a living, I have everything needed to restore surfaces without causing damage. I’ve worked with all types of materials, and there isn’t a surface I haven’t cleaned before.

2. "Pressure washing will harm my plants."

This is a common concern, but the reality is that in most cases, there is no noticeable damage to plants. In very rare instances, the edges of grass or shrubs might get slightly affected, but even if that happens, they bounce back within a week.
