Surface Preparation Washing

Professional high pressure cleaning to prepare surfaces for new works

At Rick Hunter High Pressure Road Washing, we provide specialised surface preparation washing for contractors who need clean, safe and fully prepared surfaces before resurfacing, line marking or construction work begins. Effective surface preparation is essential for achieving long lasting and high quality results, and our high pressure cleaning removes dirt, oil, dust, debris, rubber deposits and other contamination that can interfere with adhesion and compromise the durability of the finished surface.

Whether you are resurfacing a carriageway, preparing an estate road for adoption, installing new line markings or planning surface treatment works, our cleaning process ensures the substrate is in the correct condition for the next phase. We use the Back to Black Road Washing Machine to deliver strong but controlled pressure that lifts stubborn contamination without damaging the road or structure beneath. This makes our service suitable for tarmac, concrete, block paving and industrial surfaces.

Contamination can significantly affect the performance of new materials. Residue beneath a new surface layer can weaken the bond, lead to early deterioration and create inconsistencies in texture or appearance. Dust and debris can also prevent line marking materials from bonding properly, causing early fading or flaking. By removing these issues at an early stage, we support contractors in achieving a professional finish that stands up to long term use.

Our surface preparation service is used across a wide range of environments including highways, development sites, private estates, industrial yards, car parks and service areas. We work closely with surfacing teams, engineers and project managers to ensure our work fits seamlessly into your construction schedule. Whether you require preparation immediately before surfacing or cleaning in the early stages of a larger project, we plan our service around your deadlines and access requirements.

We understand the pressures of live construction environments, where progress must be maintained and delays can impact multiple teams. Our service is delivered efficiently and safely, with a focus on communication and coordination. Clean surfaces help identify defects, drainage issues, cracking or areas requiring remedial work before the next stage proceeds. This contributes to better quality control and helps avoid problems later in the project.

With more than 35 years of experience in highways and construction, we bring the knowledge and reliability needed to support large and small scale projects. Our surface preparation washing is trusted by contractors nationwide who require strong results, dependable service and a clean, uniform surface ready for the next step.
