Inspect
Check the surface, condition, access and surrounding areas.
2
Select Pressure
Adjust pressure and choose suitable equipment for the material.
3
Test Area
Where appropriate, start with a small area before continuing.
4
Clean
Work systematically across the surface for an even result.
5
Final Tidy
Rinse surrounding areas and leave the work area tidy.
Need More Than Cleaning?
Weeds or Empty Joints Between Your Pavers?
Water blasting can clean paving very effectively, but if weeds, roots or deep open joints are the main problem, the paving may also need weed treatment and joint restoration.

How Much Does Water Blasting Cost?
The final price depends on the area, surface condition, access and equipment required.
Quoted to Suit the Job
Small areas can often be estimated from clear photos.
Larger driveways, multiple surfaces, difficult access or heavily affected areas are quoted individually after assessing the job.
Tip: Several clear photos plus approximate measurements usually make an initial estimate more accurate.

Paving Water Blasting — Golflands
At first glance, this Golflands paving looked like it simply needed a good clean — but years of weeds and organic build-up were hiding what was happening underneath. Commercial-grade water blasting removed the heavy surface growth and transformed the appearance of the paving. Once the area was clean, another problem that had been hidden between the pavers became clearly visible. See the full project to find out what we uncovered and how the job progressed from the original condition.

Water Blasting FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What surfaces can you water blast?
Suitable surfaces may include concrete driveways, paving, paths, patios, selected timber decking, fences and other exterior surfaces. The surface is assessed before cleaning.
Can high pressure damage a surface?
Yes. Excessive pressure can damage some materials. Pressure, distance and attachments are therefore selected to suit the individual surface.
Can you adjust the pressure for different surfaces?
Yes. Pressure can be adjusted depending on the material, condition and type of cleaning required.
Do you use a surface-cleaner attachment?
Where suitable, a dedicated circular surface-cleaner attachment can be used on flat concrete or paving for a more even clean.
Can you clean higher areas?
Extension equipment is available for selected higher surfaces where access and conditions allow safe cleaning from ground level.
Does water blasting remove weeds between pavers?
Water blasting can remove visible growth and loose material. Where weeds, roots and open joints are the main problem, additional weed removal and paving joint restoration may also be required.
Can you quote from photos?
Often, yes. Clear photos together with approximate dimensions can be enough for an initial estimate. Larger or more complex areas may need a site visit.
Which areas do you service?
We service Botany, Howick, Pakuranga, Golflands, Dannemora, Flat Bush and surrounding East Auckland suburbs.
Still Wondering
Not Sure What Type of Cleaning You Need?
Every property is different. Photos of the surface, approximate dimensions and a short description of the problem are usually enough to determine whether water blasting alone is suitable or whether another maintenance service would make more sense.
