Can you get the black streaking off, or does it come back straight away?

We can remove it, and because the biocide treatment kills the algae and mould causing it at the root, it takes noticeably longer to return than after a standard rinse or a bleach-only clean.

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.

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.

Will the cobwebs just come straight back?

They will build up again over time — it's a natural part of any exterior. Regular cleaning every year or two keeps them, along with dust and algae, from ever getting properly established.

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.

uPVC Roofline Cleaning in Gateshead

Give your roofline in Gateshead a proper clean. Soft wash and biocide treatment for soffits and fascias, plus uPVC restoration where boards have faded.

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.

Semis, terraces, bungalows and detached houses in Gateshead all end up with the same tell-tale signs on the roofline — cobwebs under the eaves, dust that's turned to grime, and black algae streaking down from the guttering — but how badly depends a lot on the property's age, the boards fitted and how sheltered the elevation is.

A lot of people assume a jet wash or a scrub with bleach will sort a grubby roofline in Gateshead, 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.

Homes & businesses

Landlords and managing agents

We work with landlords and managing agents across Gateshead to keep roofline on rented and managed properties looking presentable, usually scheduling it alongside gutter clearance so tenants get one combined visit rather than repeat disruption.

Mixed commercial and retail frontages

Commercial roofline near Team Valley Trading 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.

How we set up on site

Soft wash equipment and extension poles mean we rarely need scaffolding or a cherry picker for standard roofline work. Where parking or access is tight, we're happy to talk through it beforehand so there's no surprise on the day.

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.

Working safely at height on your roofline

Soffits and fascias sit right at gutter height, so most of the work is done from ground level with extension poles, or from a stable platform where reach genuinely requires it — we avoid leaning ladders against uPVC that can flex and crack under pressure.

We're asbestos awareness trained, which matters on older properties where soffit boards or roofing materials may need identifying before any work starts, and spill management trained so biocide is applied and contained properly around plants, paths and drains.

Gateshead and the surrounding neighbourhoods

Gateshead takes in Low Fell and Dunston, and we cover the roofline cleaning needs of the whole area rather than just the main streets.
