There's no single answer that fits every property. Here's how to judge how frequently your home's exterior surfaces need a professional clean.
How often you need to pressure wash your home depends on several factors: the local climate, how shaded your property is, the surface types you have, and how quickly moss and algae grow in your area. In the East Midlands, with its wet winters and relatively damp spring climate, most properties benefit from a professional exterior clean every one to two years.
Shaded properties — those with trees nearby or north-facing aspects — tend to accumulate moss and algae faster and may need annual attention. Properties in open, sunny positions will stay cleaner longer. Driveways and patios that see heavy use accumulate dirt more quickly than paths and walls that are rarely walked on.
Rather than sticking to a fixed schedule, the best approach is to inspect your surfaces each spring. If you notice significant green growth, slippery areas, or marked discolouration, it's time for a clean. Regular maintenance is always cheaper than letting surfaces deteriorate to the point where restoration is needed.
