Exterior Cleaning FAQs & Advice

Expert tips and answers to help you maintain your home's exterior all year round.

Window & PVC Care

• How often should windows be cleaned?
  For most residential properties, we recommend a regular 4-week or 8-week schedule. This stops traffic grime, sea salt, and pollen from baking onto the glass and damaging the seals.

• How do you clean fascias and soffits?
  We do not use high pressure on your roofline. Instead, we apply a specialist, eco-friendly cleaning solution that breaks down green algae and dirt. We then gently rinse it away using pure water fed through water-fed poles.

Solar Panel Maintenance

• Why should I get my solar panels cleaned?
  Dust, bird droppings, lichen, and traffic pollution create a "shading" effect on the panels. This blocks sunlight and can drop your energy efficiency by up to 20% to 25%. Regular cleaning ensures you get the maximum financial return on your investment.

• Can you clean solar panels with tap water or a pressure washer?
  Absolutely not. Tap water contains minerals that leave hard water limescale deposits on the glass, which actually reduces efficiency further. Pressure washers can break the seals or shatter the glass. We use 100% pure, de-ionised water and soft bristled brushes to clean them safely and streak free.

• How often do solar panels need cleaning?
  We recommend a professional clean once or twice a year. Spring is the ideal time to clear away winter grime right before the peak summer sun hits.

Gutter & Roof Maintenance

• Why is gutter clearing so important?
  Blocked gutters are the number one cause of dampness in UK homes. When water overflows, it rots your fascias, damages your brickwork, and can leak into your foundations. Clearing them once a year prevents thousands of pounds in structural damage.

Pressure Washing & Surface Restoration

• What surfaces can you pressure wash?
  Our pressure washing gear is perfect for restoring block paving, concrete, stone patios, tarmac, tarmac driveways, and wooden decking.

• Will pressure washing wash away the sand between my block paving?
  Yes, high pressure naturally removes the old, weed-infested sand from the joints. Because of this, our complete service includes coming back once the area is fully dry to sweep fresh, kiln dried jointing sand into the gaps to lock the blocks back in place.

• How do you stop weeds from growing back immediately?
  After washing away the dirt and weeds, we treat the clean surface with a professional-grade biocide or weed inhibitor. This kills off any remaining invisible spores and keeps your driveway looking cleaner for significantly longer.

Booking & Service Details

• Do I need to be home for my appointment?
  No. As long as your gates are unlocked and we have clear access to the exterior of your property, you can get on with your day. We just ask that all windows and doors are securely closed before we arrive.

• Are you fully insured?
  Yes, absolutely. We carry full Public Liability Insurance. This protects your property, your neighbours, and our team for your absolute peace of mind.
