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

Durham County Council · SR8 · 12 miles south-east of our Washington base

A soft wash before spring, or after the leaves come down in autumn, clears the lot and treats the growth at the root so it's slower to return.

The biocide kills algae, mould and lichen at the root rather than just blasting it off the surface, cobwebs and dust get cleared as part of the same visit, and where the uPVC itself has gone chalky or faded we can follow up with a restoration treatment to bring the colour back.

Victorian terraces and original timber-effect boarding

Many of the Victorian terraces around Peterlee have been fitted with uPVC roofline over the original timber, and the narrow eaves and close-set houses mean soffits sit in permanent shade for large parts of the day — ideal conditions for algae and black streaking to take hold.

Post-war new town estates built from 1948 under the New Towns Act 1946. means access is often tighter than on a modern estate too, so we work carefully around bay windows and shared boundary lines rather than assuming a standard approach will fit.

What we do — and what we deliberately don't

We do use low-pressure soft washing, a biocide treatment to kill algae and mould at the root, and hand tools to work cobwebs out of vents and corners a hose can't reach. We do check uPVC condition first, since chalky or faded boards need a different, gentler approach to restore rather than just clean.

We don't use high-pressure jet washers on uPVC, we don't rely on bleach, which only bleaches growth rather than killing it, and we don't rush the job — a roofline done properly takes a bit longer than a quick rinse.

The biocide we use

  • Our biocide treatment is formulated to kill algae, mould, lichen and moss spores at the root, not just bleach the colour out of them. That's the difference between growth that's actually gone and growth that quietly regrows within a season.

Working on narrower or terraced streets

Older terraced streets around Peterlee sometimes mean working from the pavement or a neighbour's frontage with permission, and we plan the visit around that rather than assuming standard driveway access.

The right method for the surface

  • Softwash, steam and low-pressure methods

    We match the method to the surface rather than defaulting to high pressure.

  • Biocide trained (2024)

    Trained to apply biocide treatments that kill growth at the root.

  • Fully insured

    Covered by public liability insurance.

  • Owned and run by Trevor

    A local, hands-on business — Trevor's name is on the van and on the work.
