yes pablo and no
the patio gets no direct sunlight at all from august to april and we back on to a park with mature trees 50-60 ft tall
so i am guessing thats why i got the gunge

anyway roger sorted it and the romex came up looking like new which was encouraging

Nice I take it it wasn't just a case of blasting it with a power washer.

The South West is out of my area to be honest, but if the size of area/paving etc to be cleaned was large enough then I would consider it.
I'm in Surrey so travel time etc would have to be factored in.

Hello Andy,
I think your near Manchester? I''m about 200 miles south of you so I think it would work out to be a bit expensive.
If you want I do have contacts up there that should/could be able to clean as good as me? (didn't mean to sound big-headed) just that I don't just use water to clean with. I have a couple of commercial contracts so have a data-base for most of the UK for when the work is out of our area, thus making it maybe to expensive for me to cover.
