Pressure washing for businesses

Winter is when hedges are best reduced, leaves pile up and storms bring trees down. We cover it all right through to spring, for homes and commercial sites.

Meet the founder
Bay Links Maintenance+ is Alex Rutter's business, built on more than ten years of working outdoors. Alex walks your garden with you, talks through your ideas, agrees the work with you and sees the build through, so you deal with the same person from first visit to handover.
How we work

Call, WhatsApp or send an enquiry. Photos of the job help us come prepared.

We look at the job with you and agree exactly what's being done, then confirm it with a written quote.

Carried out at a time that suits you, 7 days a week, with the site left tidy and the waste taken away.

Add it to our maintenance cycle and we'll come back regularly, so it never gets out of hand again.
Questions
Yes. We work 7 days a week, including evenings and weekends, which is handy for businesses that can't have work done during opening hours.
We take it away with us. Green waste and debris are disposed of and recycled responsibly, so there's nothing left for you to deal with.
Light trims are fine most of the year, but bigger hedge reductions are best done in winter. Between March and August we check carefully for nesting birds first, as active nests are protected by law.
No. We match the pressure and method to the surface. Block paving can lose some jointing sand when it's cleaned, so we'll tell you if it needs topping up afterwards.
Either. Plenty of customers book a single clearance or clean. Others join our maintenance cycle for regular visits. Commercial sites can have a scheduled contract.
We reply to arrange a visit at a time that suits you, look at the job together, and then send a written quote for what we've agreed.

Priced after a site visit
Ask about Complete careWhy take a plan
Little and often is far easier than a big clearance once a year. Regular visits keep lawns, hedges and borders under control.
Hedges reduced in winter, leaves cleared in autumn, gutters cleared before the bad weather. Timing is half the result.
Alex gets to know your garden or site, so you don't have to explain what goes where each time.
A blocked gutter, a damaged branch or a slippery path is far easier to put right when it's spotted early.
No mowing, no weeding and no trips to the tip with green waste. Just a garden to enjoy.
Customers on the maintenance cycle get priority for storm clean-ups and one-off jobs.
Care tips
Simple things you can do between our visits to keep your garden, paving and gutters in good shape.
A hedge out of control, paving turning green or a gutter overflowing: send us a photo and we'll tell you what to do. Follow-up aftercare is available on request.
About Bay Links
Founder · Bay Links Maintenance+
Alex started Bay Links to look after gardens and grounds the way they should be: hedges and trees cut at the right time, straight advice, and every job left tidy with the waste taken away.
Alex has been working in landscaping and garden maintenance for more than ten years, and he's still happiest with his sleeves rolled up in someone's garden. For him, the work has always been about being creative outdoors: reading the space, the light and the soil, and shaping something that wasn't there before.
What keeps him going is the transformation. Taking a tired, overlooked patch of ground and turning it into somewhere that makes people stop and look is where Alex gets his job satisfaction, and it's what he brings to every job Bay Links takes on.
“Seeing a tired space become something incredible never gets old.”
Alex Rutter
How Alex works
Hedges reduced in winter and checked for nesting birds in summer, gutters cleared before the bad weather, leaves lifted before they do damage.
If a tree needs a specialist or a job isn't worth doing, you'll hear it at the site visit, before any work starts.
Pet and family friendly working, sites left clean, and all waste disposed of and recycled responsibly.
