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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Is your business insured?

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

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.

Roofline in Hebburn takes a battering it doesn't always show straight away. Damp North East air, sheltered eaves that never quite dry out, and the odd overhanging tree all combine to leave soffits and fascias carrying cobwebs, algae and black streaking long before the rest of the house looks in need of attention.

White uPVC that actually looks white again, soffits clear of cobwebs and dust, and no more black tideline running down the fascia below the gutter — that's the difference a proper soft wash makes to a roofline in Hebburn, usually within an afternoon.

Booking a visit that fits your schedule

We're roughly 5 miles from Hebburn, close enough that we can usually offer a choice of days rather than a single slot weeks out, and we'll confirm timing once we've had a look at what the job involves.

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.

Softwash, steam and low-pressure methods: The gentlest method suitable for the surface is used, protecting older or brittle uPVC.

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 Hebburn tend to show the worst black streaking regardless of the property's age.

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.
