How fast can you get to Reading?

Is soft washing better than pressure washing?
For render, roofs, painted surfaces, cladding and soft brick or stone, usually yes. High pressure can erode render and stone, wash out pointing, strip paint, break tiles and force water into walls and roof voids, and it often leaves spores behind so growth returns quickly. Pressure washing still has its place on hard surfaces such as concrete driveways and block paving.
