Do you clean gutters at the same time?

Most customers have their gutters cleared in the same visit, since the access is already set up. It's usually better value than booking the two separately.

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 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.

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 areas do you cover?

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

We don't just rinse the surface. A biocide treatment kills the mould and algae at the root, so the boards stay cleaner for noticeably longer than after a quick hose-down, and genuinely chalky or faded uPVC gets a restoration pass to bring the colour back.

Older uPVC in particular tends to chalk and fade with UV exposure, which is where a straight clean isn't quite enough and a restoration treatment earns its keep alongside the soft wash.

Homeowners

Getting a property ready to sell or let

Buyers and tenants notice the outside of a house before they notice anything inside it, and grubby soffits or streaked fascias can make an otherwise well-kept property look neglected in photos and on viewings. A soft wash before marketing is a small job with a disproportionate effect on first impressions.

1960s and '70s estate housing

Roofline fitted to Fulwell'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.

How we approach a larger commercial run

1
Site walk and quote confirmation
We walk the full run of roofline on site to confirm access, extent and any areas needing extra care.
2
Access and containment setup
Equipment is set up to work efficiently along long runs, with care taken around parking, footfall and drains for spill management.
3
Sectional soft wash
The roofline is worked in sections with biocide treatment and low-pressure rinse, keeping a consistent finish across the full length.
4
Signage and detail check
Any signage boards or branded fascia sections get extra attention to keep lettering and colour crisp.
5
Sign-off walkaround
We complete a final walkaround with whoever's managing the site before finishing up.

Soft wash vs pressure washing your roofline

A pressure washer looks like the obvious tool for grubby uPVC, but the force needed to shift ingrained algae can crack panel joints, force water behind fascia boards and strip the factory finish, leaving the surface more porous and quicker to grime up again.

Our soft wash uses a fraction of the pressure combined with a biocide treatment, so the growth is killed rather than just knocked loose, the boards stay intact, and the clean lasts considerably longer than a pressure wash alone.

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.
