Motorway Road Washing

Specialist motorway cleaning and surface preparation for major highways projects

At Rick Hunter High Pressure Road Washing, we provide specialist motorway cleaning and surface preparation for contractors working on major highways projects across the UK. Motorways present some of the most demanding environments in the construction and maintenance sector, with heavy traffic, weathering, spillages and constant surface contamination. Clean working areas are essential for safety, visibility and efficient progression of the job, and our high pressure cleaning service ensures that surfaces remain in the condition required for fast paced and tightly planned operations.

With more than 35 years of hands on highways experience, we understand the pressure that motorway projects face. Tight deadlines, lane closures, traffic management changes and resurfacing schedules all rely on surfaces being clean and ready. Our Back to Black Road Washing Machine delivers strong and controlled water pressure that removes grime, fuel residue, tyre rubber, loose debris and construction build up while protecting the structure of the asphalt. This allows contractors to prepare for resurfacing, plan traffic switches and complete inspection stages with confidence.

Motorway sites require reliable communication and predictable performance. We work closely with site managers, engineers, TM supervisors and surfacing crews to deliver cleaning that fits neatly into established workflows. We coordinate our attendance around closures, contra flows and live lane operations, ensuring that the cleaning is completed safely and without disruption to the wider project. Because our equipment is designed for continuous and heavy use, we can support both short duration tasks and extended phases of work on long term motorway schemes.

Our motorway cleaning service also improves safety for teams working on site. Clean surfaces improve visibility, reduce slip risks and allow hazards to be identified early. When surfaces are being prepared for resurfacing or surface treatment, removing contamination is essential for proper adhesion and the long term performance of new materials. A clean surface is also important for quality control, as it shows any defects or areas requiring repair before the next construction phase is completed.

We have supported a number of major motorway projects throughout our career, providing dependable cleaning during lane switches, resurfacing nights, planed off areas and multi phase operations. Our service is suitable for new construction, reconstruction, widening works, barrier upgrades and long term maintenance programmes. Whatever the scale of the project, we ensure the motorway remains clean, safe and ready for the next step.

Keep your motorway works clean and safe
