Signs a wall or yard needs washing
- Green algae on a north-facing wall
- Black streaks running down the render
- Lichen and moss on steps and garden walls
- A greasy bin store or yard behind a shop or block of flats
- The frontage needs tidying before a letting, a sale or an inspection
Pressure washing in Llanelli
Terraced houses in the older parts of Llanelli have small walled concrete yards with one gully, and moss and black algae build up in the shaded corners. The gully is cleared before washing, as the water can only leave through it or the back gate.
Outside toilets, sheds and coal houses in these yards can be washed on the same visit. Most walls and yards are washed with plain water.

Gardens and walls at Pembrey and Burry Port near the beaches and dunes collect sand, which is brushed off first. Washing loose sand only drives it into joints and drains.
Drains around Llanelli run to the Burry Inlet, a protected estuary with a cockle fishery regulated by Natural Resources Wales. Where a cleaner is needed, it is applied so that none reaches a drain or the street.
Shop entrances and trolley areas collect chewing gum, oil drips and tyre marks. Work is arranged around opening hours, and oil soaked in for a long time may lighten without disappearing.

How a wall is soft washed
- Checking the surface
Cracked render, loose pointing and nearby ponds or beds are noted before any water goes on.
- Applying the treatment
A biocide solution is applied at low pressure and left to work on the algae and lichen.
- Rinsing
The wall is rinsed gently, and the treatment keeps working on remaining staining over the following weeks.
What the price depends on in Llanelli
- The surface: brick, render, painted wall, cladding or concrete
- The size of the area
- How high the wall goes
- How heavy the staining is
- On occupied sites, when the area around the work can be closed off
- The amount of chewing gum on an entrance, which takes longer per square metre than general grime
- A second, lighter wash on coastal walls where salt bloom returns
Pressure washing in Llanelli: questions
Can a concrete back yard with only lane access be washed?
Yes, if there is a water supply nearby and the yard gully drains. Tell us if the only tap is inside the house.
What is the white powder that keeps appearing on my wall near the sea?
It is usually salt bloom, which forms as salt in the brick or render dries out. Washing removes it, and it can come back once or twice before the wall settles.
Can the bin store at a block of flats in Llanelli be cleaned regularly?
Bin stores can be washed on a set schedule. Send the address, the number of bins and whether the store has a drain.
Yards and walls to wash in Llanelli?
Send the address, the area to be cleaned, its rough size and surface, how it is reached, and where the nearest outside tap is.
