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.

Is soffit and fascia cleaning safe for my plants and garden?

Yes — we're spill management trained and take care to protect planting, paths and drains around the property during the clean.

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.

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.

Is your business insured?

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

uPVC roofline looking chalky or streaked in Spennymoor? Our soft wash clears cobwebs, mould and algae at the root and restores faded soffits and fascias.

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.

Cobwebs build up behind the fascia and along the soffit vents through autumn and winter, and by the time spring arrives in Spennymoor 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.

Semis, terraces, bungalows and detached houses in Spennymoor 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.

Biocide trained, so growth stays gone

Biocide trained (2024): Up-to-date training in biocide application means algae and mould are killed at the root, not just knocked back.
Fully insured: Every job is covered by public liability insurance.
Softwash, steam and low-pressure methods: We choose the right method for the surface rather than using one approach for everything.
Camera proof: A pole-mounted camera lets us show you before-and-after results, particularly for gutters.

What a soft-washed roofline looks like afterwards

By the time we've finished, cobwebs and dust are gone from the soffit vents, the black streaking that ran down the fascia has been lifted, and uPVC that had gone dull or chalky looks noticeably brighter — often close to its original white.

That result comes from the biocide working at the root of the growth rather than a cosmetic wipe-over, which is also why the roofline stays cleaner for longer afterwards instead of streaking again within a few months.

When the uPVC also needs restoring

1
Assess the boards
We check whether the uPVC is simply dirty or has genuinely chalked and faded, since that changes the approach.
2
Clear and pre-treat
Cobwebs and loose debris are cleared, then a biocide pre-treatment is applied to any active growth.
3
Soft wash
The full roofline is soft washed to remove dust, dirt and the treated algae or mould.
4
Restoration treatment
A dedicated uPVC restoration product is worked into chalky or faded sections to lift oxidisation.
5
Rinse and inspect
A final rinse removes residue and we check the colour and finish against the rest of the roofline.

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.

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

Homeowners

For homeowners who can't safely get up there themselves

Cleaning cobwebs and streaking off a roofline usually means a ladder or an extension pole, which isn't something every homeowner wants to be doing themselves. We bring the right equipment and do the whole job from ground level or a safe platform, so nobody in Spennymoor needs to risk it.
