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.

Can you prove the gutters were actually cleared?

Yes — we use a pole-mounted camera to photograph before and after, so you've got proof of what's come out rather than having to take our word for it.

Is your business insured?

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

We soft wash uPVC roofline across Norton 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Soffit & Fascia Cleaning near Norton

Soffit & Fascia Cleaning in Norton — common questions

We clear cobwebs and debris by hand, apply a biocide treatment at low pressure to kill algae and mould at the root, rinse the boards clean, and follow up with a restoration treatment on any uPVC that's gone chalky or faded.

A grubby roofline is one of the first things people notice about a house, and left untreated the growth causing black streaking just gets more established. A soft wash sorts it properly rather than papering over the problem for a season.

Combine it with a gutter clean

Our soft wash and biocide treatment clears cobwebs, algae and black streaking, and kills growth at the root so it stays cleaner for longer.
