Can you get the black streaking off, or does it come back straight away?

We can remove it, and because the biocide treatment kills the algae and mould causing it at the root, it takes noticeably longer to return than after a standard rinse or a bleach-only clean.

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.

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'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.

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.

Left alone, cobwebs thicken with dust, algae gets a foothold in the shade under the eaves, and the streaking spreads a little further each winter. A soft wash treats the cause rather than just wiping the surface, so the roofline stays cleaner for longer.

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.

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.

Working on narrower or terraced streets

Older terraced streets around Stockton-on-Tees 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.

Mixed commercial and retail frontages

Commercial roofline near Preston Farm Business Park deals with a different set of pressures — general street dust, traffic grime and, in some cases, extraction from nearby food premises — all of which sit on top of the usual cobwebs and algae.

Frontage that's visible to customers gets cleaned to a tighter standard than a domestic job usually needs, with particular attention to signage boards and any fascia that doubles as branding.

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.

The products behind a proper soffit and fascia clean

The biocide we use is specifically formulated to kill algae, mould, lichen and moss spores rather than just bleaching the colour out of them, which is why growth treated this way is genuinely slower to return than after a bleach-and-rinse job.

For uPVC that's gone chalky or faded, we use a dedicated restoration treatment rather than a general-purpose cleaner, working it into the surface to lift oxidisation and bring the colour back closer to new before the final soft-wash rinse.

Soffit & Fascia Cleaning in Stockton-on-Tees — common questions

We cover soffit and fascia cleaning across Stockton-on-Tees and the surrounding area from our Washington base, using soft wash and biocide methods that are safe on uPVC and effective on the growth causing it to look tired.

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.
