At Rick Hunter High Pressure Road Washing, we provide professional high pressure cleaning for carriageways across the UK. Carriageways endure heavy traffic flow every day, which leads to the build up of oil, rubber, dirt, dust and surface contamination that affects both safety and performance. Clean surfaces are essential during construction, resurfacing, maintenance and inspection work, and our Back to Black Road Washing Machine is designed to remove contamination quickly and effectively while protecting the integrity of the surface beneath.

Carriageway works often run to tight schedules, particularly on live routes where lane closures, contraflows and timed access are required. We understand how important it is to keep operations moving without delay, which is why our service is planned carefully around your traffic management arrangements and site programme. Our team works closely with engineers, TM supervisors, surfacing crews and site managers to ensure that the cleaning phase aligns with the wider workflow of the job. This helps maintain smooth project progression and reduces unnecessary downtime.

Our cleaning process removes contaminants that can interfere with new surfacing layers, patching work or surface treatments. Dirt and residue can prevent materials from bonding correctly, which affects the long term performance of the surface. By using powerful but precise washing techniques, we ensure the carriageway is fully prepared for resurfacing, surface dressing, inspection or joint treatment. Clean surfaces also help identify defects, drainage issues or hazards that may not be visible under dirt or grime, supporting better decision making during planning and quality checks.

Safety is a significant part of our carriageway cleaning service. Removing oil, loose debris and accumulated grime helps improve grip for site vehicles and reduces slip risks for operatives working in the area. Clean, well presented surfaces also support better visibility during night works, inspections and handovers. Our team understands the pressures of working on fast moving routes and always prioritises safe working practices, clear communication and coordination with other teams on site.

With more than 35 years of experience supporting major UK highways projects, we have worked on a wide range of carriageway schemes including resurfacing programmes, structural maintenance, patching works, drainage improvements and route upgrades. Our service is suitable for rural carriageways, dual carriageways, estate roads, bypasses and strategic routes. Whether you require a short cleaning operation or ongoing support throughout a phased project, we are equipped to deliver a reliable, efficient and high quality service every time.
