Choosing the Right Nozzle: A Guide to Our Pressure Washing Equipment in Action


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.

What Happens to Moss and Debris After Roof Cleaning?

What Happens to Moss and Debris After Roof Cleaning? Gutter Cleaning

 

At Balo Jetwash, one of the most common questions we get from customers before a roof clean is: “What happens to all the moss, dirt, and water used during cleaning?” It’s a fair concern—no one wants to swap a mossy roof for a blocked gutter!

During a typical roof cleaning service, we remove a significant amount of moss, algae, and accumulated grime. While some of this debris naturally washes away through rainfall or flows into your gutter system, a good portion of it can remain lodged in the guttering. Left unattended, this build-up can cause blockages, poor water flow, and even damage to your property’s fascia and foundations.

That’s why, at Balo Jetwash, we always take an extra step after every roof clean. We use our professional-grade gutter vacuum system to clean out the guttering thoroughly. This equipment allows us to safely and effectively clear gutters from ground level—even on buildings up to four storeys high. It ensures that your drainage system remains free-flowing and that your property is protected from potential water damage.
