The Complete Guide to Jet Washing Your Manchester Home (Without the Hassle)
Share
Manchester weather isn't kind to our outdoor spaces. Between the rain, moss, and general city grime, your patio probably looks nothing like it did when you moved in. Good news: jet washing can transform it in just a few hours – and with Tooltap's jet wash hire service, you don't even need to leave the house.
Why Manchester Homes Need Regular Jet Washing
Living in Greater Manchester means dealing with:
- Constant moisture – Perfect conditions for algae and moss growth
- Urban pollution – Especially if you're near main roads in areas like Stretford or Eccles
- Fallen leaves – Those beautiful trees in Heaton Park mean blocked drains and stained patios
- General wear – Manchester's 150+ rainy days per year take their toll

Our jet wash hire customers in Manchester and Salford use them for:
✅ Safe to Clean:
- Block paving driveways
- Concrete patios and paths
- Brick walls (Victorian terraces, we're looking at you)
- Wooden decking (with care)
- Wheelie bins
- Garden furniture
- Cars and vans

❌ Avoid Jet Washing:
