Utilising Hot and Cold Water Blasting for Effective Exterior Cleaning

Maintaining the pristine appearance and longevity of exterior surfaces is crucial for both residential and commercial properties longevity and value. At Boulevard Services, we specialise in delivering professional-grade exterior cleaning using hot and cold water blasting. Our expertise, coupled with industry-leading equipment, ensures exceptional results for a wide range of surfaces.

The Power of Water Blasting

Water blasting (or pressure washing) is an efficient method of removing built-up grime, moss, mold, algae, oil stains, and environmental pollutants from external surfaces. The technique uses pressurized water to dislodge and wash away contaminants, restoring the surface to its original condition.

At Boulevard Services, we offer both hot water blasting and cold water blasting, each suited for specific cleaning tasks:

Cold Water Blasting

Cold water blasting is perfect for removing loose dirt, dust, mud, and debris from surfaces like:

  • Building facades

  • Concrete driveways and footpaths

  • Timber decking

  • Garden walls

  • Painted surfaces

This method is cost-effective and gentle on surfaces, making it ideal for routine maintenance and general cleaning.

Hot Water Blasting

When contaminants are more stubborn—such as oil, grease, chewing gum, or deeply embedded stains—hot water blasting offers a superior solution. The heated water breaks down greasy substances more effectively, which is essential for:

  • Commercial kitchens and exhaust areas

  • Carparks and drive thrus

  • Industrial zones with oil stains

  • Graffiti removal

  • Outdoor tiles and stonework

The addition of heat enhances the cleaning power, reduces the need for chemicals, and accelerates drying time.

Applications Across Varied Surfaces

Boulevard Services applies water blasting to a broad range of surfaces, tailored to their specific conditions and requirements:

  • Residential Homes: Removing algae and moss from driveways, patios, decks and roofing materials to enhance curb appeal and safety.
