Pressure washing and house washing in Cardiff

What do Cardiff's homes by Winding Creek need?

The town was first called Winding Creek, then Lymington after a local mine, and was renamed after the capital of Wales in 1889. Its history runs through coal mining, orchards and the Sydney to Newcastle railway, and its railway workshops ran from 1928 until they closed in January 1994.

Winding Creek, a main tributary of Cockle Creek, still floods the town centre in big rain events, most notably in 2007. Silt and grime left on paths and driveways after a flood come off with pressure washing matched to the surface, and walls can follow with a house wash. Homes here are mostly separate houses, with 11.0% townhouses or semi-detached and 6.2% flats.
