Pressure Washing & Driveway Cleaning Insurance

Exterior cleaning uses high-pressure water and chemicals on surfaces that can be damaged surprisingly easily. Etched block paving, damaged render, water getting into a property, overspray onto cars and slippery runoff are all common sources of claims.

Risks insurers will ask about

Cladding, roofing and high-rise work are often treated as high-risk activities, so declare them clearly to make sure your policy covers them.

• Roof and gutter cleaning, and the maximum height you work at
• Soft washing and the chemicals you use
• Damage to the surfaces you clean, including render and cladding
• Water ingress into buildings and runoff onto neighbouring property

Protecting your equipment

Hot-water pressure washers, surface cleaners, water tanks and trailer-mounted systems are valuable and attractive to thieves. Tools and equipment cover can include theft from locked vehicles and trailers, subject to the policy's security conditions.
