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.

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 I need to be home?

Not necessarily, as long as we can access the areas that need cleaning. We're happy to arrange access details in advance.

Is your business insured?

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

What areas do you cover?

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

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.

We soft wash uPVC roofline across Hartlepool 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.

Cobwebs build up behind the fascia and along the soffit vents through autumn and winter, and by the time spring arrives in Hartlepool they've usually collected a good coating of dust and grime with them. Algae and mould get comfortable in the same damp, shaded spot, and black streaking down the fascia tends to be at its worst just as everyone starts noticing the outside of the house again.

Fully insured, so you're covered

Fully insured: Public liability cover is in place for every job, so you're protected as standard.
Biocide trained (2024): Trained in the correct application of biocide treatments, applied safely and effectively.
Asbestos awareness trained: Trained to recognise potential asbestos-containing materials on older properties before work starts.
Spill management trained: Trained to contain and manage any spills, protecting plants, paths and drains.

Exposed properties on higher ground

Properties on higher or more exposed ground around Hartlepool take more wind-driven rain and dust than sheltered streets, and that constant damp-then-dry cycle is hard on both the growth building up and the uPVC itself, which fades faster under sustained weather exposure.

Regular soft washing keeps cobwebs and streaking from building into something stubborn, and it's worth checking the boards for chalking a little more often on exposed elevations than on sheltered ones.

Homeowners

Keeping on top of it with a regular clean

A soffit and fascia clean every year or two keeps cobwebs, dust and early algae from ever becoming the kind of stubborn black streaking that needs a restoration treatment to shift. It's a smaller, cheaper job done regularly than a big one done rarely.

Combined with a gutter clean

Most customers have soffits and fascias cleaned alongside a gutter clear-out, since the access is already set up. Combining the two usually works out better value than booking them separately.

Gutter clean only	typically £60–£100
Soffit & fascia clean only	typically £80–£160
Both combined	typically £120–£220
Add uPVC restoration	from around £40 extra per elevation

uPVC restoration treatment

For chalky or faded uPVC, we use a dedicated restoration product that lifts surface oxidisation and brings the colour back closer to new, rather than a general cleaner that only shifts surface dirt.
