JET WASHING
Low and high-pressure jet washing to remove stubborn dirt and restore exterior surfaces.
• Removes built-up dirt, algae, and contamination quickly and safely
• Improves the appearance of buildings, structures, and outdoor areas
• Helps prevent surface deterioration caused by long-term build-up
• Can be adapted to suit delicate or robust surfaces
• Suitable for large-scale industrial sites and smaller commercial areas
UK Based Professionals in High-Quality Jet Pressure Washing
APT ICC provides professional jet washing, soft washing, and power washing services across England and Wales, supporting industrial and commercial clients of all sizes. These services are used to clean a wide range
of surfaces by applying controlled water pressure, with the method selected based on the surface type, condition, and surrounding environment.
Jet washing, power washing, and soft washing are often used interchangeably, but they refer to slightly different approaches. Jet washing and power washing generally involve higher-pressure water to remove heavy dirt and contamination from robust surfaces. Soft washing uses much lower pressure, often combined with specialist cleaning solutions, to safely clean more delicate surfaces without causing damage. The correct method is chosen following an assessment of the surface and site conditions.
APT ICC carries out these cleaning services on a wide range of buildings and structures, including industrial facilities, factories, offices, high-rise buildings, monuments, historic properties, and commercial premises. If dirt, staining, or contamination is present and a suitable water disposal point is available, the area can usually be cleaned safely and effectively.
Jet washing and soft washing are commonly used to remove algae, moss, pollution staining, grease, and general environmental build-up. Regular cleaning helps improve appearance, maintain safety, and extend the lifespan of surfaces by preventing long-term damage caused by contaminants.
With over 35 years of experience, APT ICC is trusted to deliver jet washing and soft washing in live and sensitive environments. Recent projects include large-scale exterior cleaning at AB Ports, Newport, heritage cleaning works at St. Catherine’s Walk, Carmarthen and specialist scrubber tank cleaning for Permali in Gloucester. All works are delivered under strict health, safety, and environmental controls, providing reliable, high-quality results across England and Wales.

We saved thousands of pounds due to Andrew’s expertise of the industry. We will definitely be using APT for all our future projects.”
Lance Wilmott – Health & Safety Manager, Mayphil
“Another great job completed on the Joe Calzaghe Bridge, it looks as good as new! Thank you to all the team in managing the job with this very difficult structure.”
Veronica Tsak – Structures & Highways, Caerphilly Borough Council
Jet washing and power washing use higher water pressure to remove heavy dirt and contamination from hard surfaces. Soft washing uses low pressure with cleaning solutions to safely clean more delicate surfaces. The right method depends on the surface and condition.
These methods can be used on concrete, paving, brickwork, cladding, stone, render, and other external surfaces. Some surfaces need high pressure, while others require a gentler approach. An assessment helps avoid surface damage.
Small areas can sometimes be cleaned in-house using basic equipment. However, larger sites, sensitive surfaces, or heavy build-up usually need professional equipment and experience. Incorrect pressure can cause damage or uneven results.
Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure to avoid damaging surfaces like render, painted finishes, or older materials. It relies on suitable cleaning solutions rather than force. This makes it ideal where protection of the surface is important.
It can if not properly planned. Professional jet washing is carried out with controlled pressure, water management, and containment where needed. This helps reduce splash, runoff, and disruption on live sites.
A combination of the correct water pressure and cleaning solutions is usually most effective. In many cases, soft washing treatments help prevent quick regrowth. The approach depends on the surface and level of contamination.
Yes. These services are regularly carried out on operational industrial and commercial sites. Works are planned to maintain access and minimise disruption to staff and visitors.
Yes. Some cleaning tasks benefit from the right professional-grade chemicals, particularly for algae, grease, or staining. APT ICC can advise on suitable products, including those manufactured by APT Commercial Chemicals, which we use across England and Wales.
