Exterior Steam Cleaning
When conventional cleaning needs a helping hand
Outdoor surfaces can accumulate years of dirt, grime, organic growth and stubborn deposits. While conventional pressure washing is effective for many cleaning tasks, some types of contamination benefit from the addition of heat.
Professional steam cleaning uses specialist equipment to deliver high-temperature cleaning. Heat can help loosen particular deposits and support their removal from suitable exterior surfaces.
ELA Pressure Washing provides high- and low-pressure steam cleaning, selecting the approach according to the material, surface condition and work involved.
Commercial Entrances & Walkways
Busy entrances, forecourts and pedestrian areas can become affected by everyday grime and surface contamination. Professional steam cleaning may provide an effective approach for suitable commercial surfaces.
Grease & Stubborn Contamination
Some oily or greasy deposits are difficult to address using cold water alone. High-temperature cleaning can help loosen certain deposits, although results depend on the material and type of contamination.
Chewing Gum Removal
Discarded chewing gum can become firmly attached to pavements and other hard surfaces. Specialist heat-assisted cleaning techniques may help remove gum from appropriate exterior areas.
Specialist Cleaning Equipment
Professional van-mounted steam cleaning
Effective exterior cleaning requires more than simply applying as much pressure as possible. Equipment choice, temperature and cleaning technique all play important roles.
ELA operates specialist van-mounted systems capable of high- and low-pressure steam cleaning. Our equipment is designed to operate without requiring an external water or electricity supply.
This allows us to discuss a range of residential and commercial exterior cleaning requirements, including sites where access to utilities may be limited.

Understanding the Difference
Steam cleaning or pressure washing?
Both methods can be valuable for exterior cleaning, but the most suitable choice depends on the surface and type of contamination.
Water Pressure
Conventional Pressure Washing
Pressure washing uses the force of water to remove accumulated dirt and surface deposits.
It can be effective on suitable hard-wearing materials such as concrete and some paving, provided the pressure and technique are appropriate.
Water Pressure & Heat
High-Temperature Steam Cleaning
Steam or high-temperature cleaning introduces heat as another factor in removing stubborn surface contamination.
Heat can help soften particular deposits, including some greasy residues and chewing gum, but must be used appropriately for the surface.
Neither method is automatically better for every job. Some surfaces are sensitive to heat, pressure or both. We consider these factors when discussing the work required.
Why Choose Professional Steam Cleaning?
A specialist approach to exterior cleaning
ELA combines equipment capability with consideration of the surfaces and contamination involved.
Heat-Assisted Cleaning
High-temperature water or steam can help soften and loosen certain deposits that are difficult to remove with cold-water cleaning.
Adaptable Cleaning Pressure
Pressure must be selected according to the material and condition of the surface. Heat alone does not make a cleaning method suitable for every surface.
Specialist Van-Mounted Equipment
ELA uses van-mounted cleaning systems that can operate at high or low pressure and are equipped to work without an external water or electricity supply.
Residential & Commercial Work
Steam cleaning may be appropriate for selected surfaces at homes, business premises and other exterior locations throughout the service area.

Steam Cleaning FAQs
Common questions about exterior steam cleaning, suitable surfaces, equipment and quotations.
What is the difference between steam cleaning and pressure washing?
Conventional pressure washing primarily uses water pressure to remove surface dirt and deposits. Steam or high-temperature cleaning also uses heat to help loosen certain types of contamination. The appropriate method depends on the surface material and the work required.
Is steam cleaning suitable for patios and driveways?
Some patio and driveway surfaces may be suitable for heat-assisted cleaning, but suitability depends on the material, condition, jointing and any existing coatings or sealants. Not every paved surface should be cleaned using high temperatures.
Can steam cleaning remove chewing gum?
Specialist heat-assisted cleaning may help soften and remove chewing gum from suitable hard surfaces. The results depend on the surface and how firmly the gum has become embedded.
Can steam cleaning remove oil and grease stains?
Heat can help loosen certain oily or greasy deposits, sometimes alongside additional cleaning treatments. Complete stain removal cannot always be guaranteed, particularly where contamination has penetrated porous materials.
Does steam cleaning always work without chemicals?
Not necessarily. Some cleaning jobs can be completed using heated water without additional chemical treatments, while others may benefit from an appropriate cleaning product. This depends on the contamination and surface involved.
Does steam cleaning disinfect exterior surfaces?
Steam cleaning can expose surfaces to high temperatures, but this does not automatically establish that a particular cleaning process achieves disinfection. We do not guarantee sterilisation or a specified level of microbial reduction without an appropriately validated process.
Do you need access to our water or electricity?
ELA's van-mounted equipment is designed to operate without relying on an external water or electricity supply. Any site-specific access or operational requirements can be confirmed when arranging a quotation.
Can steam cleaning damage exterior surfaces?
Unsuitable temperatures, pressure settings or cleaning techniques can damage certain surfaces, coatings and jointing materials. We consider the material and its condition before deciding whether heat-assisted cleaning is appropriate.
How much does professional steam cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on the surface area, material, type of contamination, access arrangements and any additional treatment required. Contact ELA Pressure Washing with details of the work to request a quotation.
