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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Book a soft wash for the soffits and fascias in Felling 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.

A lot of people assume a jet wash or a scrub with bleach will sort a grubby roofline in Felling, but pressure can crack ageing uPVC joints and bleach only ever knocks the algae back — it's usually growing again within a season because the spores were never actually killed.

A soft wash with a biocide treatment does the opposite: low pressure protects the boards, and the biocide gets into the growth at the root, so cobwebs, dust, mould and black streaking clear properly and take longer to return.

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.

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.

A typical soffit and fascia clean, start to finish

1
Initial check
We look over the roofline for cobwebs, streaking, chalky uPVC and any areas needing extra attention before starting.
2
Dry clearance
Loose cobwebs, leaves and debris are cleared from soffit vents and corners by hand.
3
Biocide application
A biocide solution is applied at low pressure to kill algae, mould and lichen at the root.
4
Soft wash rinse
A gentle rinse lifts the loosened dirt and treated growth without stressing the uPVC or joints.
5
Final check
We walk the roofline again to catch any missed patches and confirm the finish is even.
