How often should soffits and fascias be cleaned?

Every one to two years keeps growth and streaking from becoming stubborn. Shaded or coastal properties may need it slightly more often than sheltered, sunnier elevations.

No. Bleach only bleaches the colour out of algae and mould rather than killing it, so it tends to return quickly. We use a proper biocide treatment instead, which kills growth at the root.

What's the difference between a soft wash and a pressure wash?

A pressure wash uses high force that can crack uPVC joints and strip the surface finish. A soft wash uses much lower pressure combined with a biocide treatment, cleaning just as thoroughly without the risk.

What if my property has asbestos soffit boards?

We're asbestos awareness trained, so we know what to look for on older properties and will flag any concerns before starting rather than working through them.

Do you offer quotes without a site visit?

For straightforward properties we can often give a good estimate over the phone or from photos. For larger or more complicated roofline, a quick look on site gets you a more accurate figure.

Is your business insured?

Yes, we're fully insured, so you're covered as standard on every job we do.

We soft wash uPVC roofline across Darlington and the surrounding County Durham area, killing growth at the root rather than just knocking it back, and restoring chalky, faded boards close to their original colour.

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.

Soffit and fascia cleaning in Darlington typically runs from around £90 for a straightforward semi up to £200-plus for a larger detached property, and it's one of the better-value jobs on the outside of the house — a couple of hours' work that changes how the whole roofline looks from the street.

Water and final rinse

A thorough rinse with clean water after biocide application removes loosened dirt and residue, leaving the finish even across the whole roofline rather than patchy or streaked.

How we soft wash your roofline

We start by clearing loose cobwebs and dust from the soffits, vents and fascia boards, working the full run so nothing gets missed under the eaves or behind downpipes.

Next we apply a biocide solution at low pressure, targeting the algae, mould and lichen causing the black streaking and killing it at the root rather than just moving it around. A final soft rinse lifts the loosened dirt and leaves the uPVC clean.

Mixed commercial and retail frontages

Commercial roofline near North Road Industrial Estate deals with a different set of pressures — general street dust, traffic grime and, in some cases, extraction from nearby food premises — all of which sit on top of the usual cobwebs and algae.

Frontage that's visible to customers gets cleaned to a tighter standard than a domestic job usually needs, with particular attention to signage boards and any fascia that doubles as branding.

Homes & businesses

Industrial and warehouse units

Units around North Road Industrial Estate often carry more airborne dust and grime than a typical residential street, which shows up fastest on pale uPVC roofline. We're equipped to cover larger runs of soffit and fascia efficiently across a full unit or terrace of units.
