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.

How long does the job take?

A standard domestic property usually takes a couple of hours. Larger properties, restoration work, or a combined gutter clean will add to that.

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.

What areas do you cover?

We're based in Washington and cover roughly a 45-mile radius, taking in Eaglescliffe and the wider North East around 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.

Soffit & Fascia Cleaning in Eaglescliffe

uPVC roofline looking chalky or streaked in Eaglescliffe? Our soft wash clears cobwebs, mould and algae at the root and restores faded soffits and fascias.

07501060609

The biocide kills algae, mould and lichen at the root rather than just blasting it off the surface, cobwebs and dust get cleared as part of the same visit, and where the uPVC itself has gone chalky or faded we can follow up with a restoration treatment to bring the colour back.

Book a soft wash for the soffits and fascias in Eaglescliffe and we'll clear the cobwebs, dust, algae and black streaking, treat the growth at the root with a biocide so it's slower to come back, and bring chalky or faded uPVC back close to white.

Biocide trained, so growth stays gone

Biocide trained (2024): Up-to-date training in biocide application means algae and mould are killed at the root, not just knocked back.
Fully insured: Every job is covered by public liability insurance.
Softwash, steam and low-pressure methods: We choose the right method for the surface rather than using one approach for everything.
Camera proof: A pole-mounted camera lets us show you before-and-after results, particularly for gutters.

Tree-lined streets and shaded elevations

Overhanging trees are a mixed blessing for a roofline — they're pleasant to look at but they drop sap, pollen and organic debris straight onto soffits and gutters, and the shade they cast keeps the boards damp for longer after rain.

That combination of moisture and organic matter is exactly what algae and mould need to establish, which is why shaded elevations in Eaglescliffe tend to show the worst black streaking regardless of the property's age.

Homeowners

For homeowners who want the roofline looking its best

A clean roofline is one of the quickest ways to lift how a house looks from the street, and it's a job most homeowners in Eaglescliffe only think about once the black streaking or chalky uPVC is hard to ignore. We'll clear cobwebs, dust and growth and leave the boards looking properly cared for.

The products behind a proper soffit and fascia clean

The biocide we use is specifically formulated to kill algae, mould, lichen and moss spores rather than just bleaching the colour out of them, which is why growth treated this way is genuinely slower to return than after a bleach-and-rinse job.

For uPVC that's gone chalky or faded, we use a dedicated restoration treatment rather than a general-purpose cleaner, working it into the surface to lift oxidisation and bring the colour back closer to new before the final soft-wash rinse.

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 restoration is needed

Chalky or badly faded uPVC needs more than a standard soft wash to bring the colour back, so restoration work is quoted as an addition to the base clean rather than included as standard. It's worth it on boards that have gone visibly grey or dull.

Standard soft wash	typically £80–£160
Restoration, single elevation	from around £40–£70
Restoration, full property	typically £120–£220 extra
Clean plus full restoration	typically £220–£380
