Hello, we're Georgie and Paul

We started Take the Pressure Off because we love the moment a mossy, tired driveway comes back to life, and because we think hiring someone to do it should feel easy, friendly and honest.

We're a family run business based in Dumfries, and we cover the whole of Dumfries & Galloway. Whether it's a driveway that's seen better days, gutters full of moss, or a garden that's got away from you, give us a shout.

Get to know us a little better, or jump straight to a free quote. There's never any obligation or hard sell.

What we can do for you

Four ways to make the outside of your place look after itself again.

Freshly cleaned red herringbone block paving

Pressure washing

Driveways, patios, paths, steps and walls brought back to their best. Block paving cleaned and re-sanded, concrete and slabs stripped of years of grime.

Bright white soffit and clean guttering after washing

Exterior cleaning

Gutters, fascias and soffits washed, render cleaned, conservatories brightened. Soft washing and biocide treatments that deal with moss properly.

Exterior cleaning →

Neat garden path with freshly trimmed lawn edges

Garden maintenance

Grass cutting, hedge trimming, weeding, tidy-ups and leaf clearance. Regular visits or a one-off blitz, whatever your garden needs.

Caring for memorials, gently
