Will a soft wash damage my uPVC?

No — that's the point of using low pressure rather than a jet washer. Soft washing cleans thoroughly without the risk of forcing water behind boards or cracking joints the way high pressure can.

My uPVC has gone grey and chalky — can that be fixed?

Chalky, faded uPVC can usually be brought back closer to its original colour with a restoration treatment, applied alongside the soft wash. A standard clean alone won't fully shift genuine oxidisation.

Is soffit and fascia cleaning safe for my plants and garden?

Yes — we're spill management trained and take care to protect planting, paths and drains around the property during the clean.

Do I need to be home?

Not necessarily, as long as we can access the areas that need cleaning. We're happy to arrange access details in advance.

Can you prove the gutters were actually cleared?

Yes — we use a pole-mounted camera to photograph before and after, so you've got proof of what's come out rather than having to take our word for it.

Can black streaking mean there's a bigger problem with the roofline?

Usually it's just algae and mould feeding on damp and organic debris, which a soft wash clears. Occasionally it points to a gutter overflow issue worth checking while we're up there.

We soft wash the soffits, fascias and bargeboards using a low-pressure system and a biocide solution, working the roofline in Coxhoe from ground level or from an extension pole rather than risking a pressure washer on ageing uPVC joints and seals.

Add a gutter clean to the same visit and we'll photograph before and after with the pole-mounted camera, so you can see exactly what's come out rather than taking our word for it.

A soft wash before spring, or after the leaves come down in autumn, clears the lot and treats the growth at the root so it's slower to return.

Low-pressure soft wash equipment

We use a low-pressure soft wash system rather than a domestic pressure washer, which lets us clean thoroughly without forcing water behind boards or stressing uPVC joints and seals that have gone brittle with age.

When the uPVC also needs restoring

1
Assess the boards
We check whether the uPVC is simply dirty or has genuinely chalked and faded, since that changes the approach.
2
Clear and pre-treat
Cobwebs and loose debris are cleared, then a biocide pre-treatment is applied to any active growth.
3
Soft wash
The full roofline is soft washed to remove dust, dirt and the treated algae or mould.
4
Restoration treatment
A dedicated uPVC restoration product is worked into chalky or faded sections to lift oxidisation.
5
Rinse and inspect
A final rinse removes residue and we check the colour and finish against the rest of the roofline.

What we do — and what we deliberately don't

We do use low-pressure soft washing, a biocide treatment to kill algae and mould at the root, and hand tools to work cobwebs out of vents and corners a hose can't reach. We do check uPVC condition first, since chalky or faded boards need a different, gentler approach to restore rather than just clean.

We don't use high-pressure jet washers on uPVC, we don't rely on bleach, which only bleaches growth rather than killing it, and we don't rush the job — a roofline done properly takes a bit longer than a quick rinse.

1960s and '70s estate housing

Roofline fitted to Coxhoe's 1960s and '70s estate housing is now old enough that the original uPVC has often gone chalky and faded from decades of UV exposure, on top of the usual cobwebs and algae buildup.

A straight soft wash lifts the dirt and kills the growth, but boards this age frequently benefit from a restoration pass as well, since a standard clean won't bring back colour that's genuinely oxidised.

Keeping on top of it with a regular clean

A soffit and fascia clean every year or two keeps cobwebs, dust and early algae from ever becoming the kind of stubborn black streaking that needs a restoration treatment to shift. It's a smaller, cheaper job done regularly than a big one done rarely.

Soffit & Fascia Cleaning in Coxhoe — common questions

A grubby roofline is one of the first things people notice about a house, and left untreated the growth causing black streaking just gets more established. A soft wash sorts it properly rather than papering over the problem for a season.
