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.

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.

How long does the job take?

A standard domestic property usually takes a couple of hours. Larger properties, restoration work, or a combined gutter clean will add to that.

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.

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.

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.

Book a soft wash for the soffits and fascias in Whickham and we'll clear the cobwebs, dust, algae and black streaking, treat the growth at the root with a biocide so it's slower to come back, and bring chalky or faded uPVC back close to white.

We soft wash the soffits, fascias and bargeboards using a low-pressure system and a biocide solution, working the roofline in Whickham from ground level or from an extension pole rather than risking a pressure washer on ageing uPVC joints and seals.

Homeowners

Getting a property ready to sell or let

Buyers and tenants notice the outside of a house before they notice anything inside it, and grubby soffits or streaked fascias can make an otherwise well-kept property look neglected in photos and on viewings. A soft wash before marketing is a small job with a disproportionate effect on first impressions.

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.

Soft wash vs pressure washing your roofline

A pressure washer looks like the obvious tool for grubby uPVC, but the force needed to shift ingrained algae can crack panel joints, force water behind fascia boards and strip the factory finish, leaving the surface more porous and quicker to grime up again.

Our soft wash uses a fraction of the pressure combined with a biocide treatment, so the growth is killed rather than just knocked loose, the boards stay intact, and the clean lasts considerably longer than a pressure wash alone.

Soffit & Fascia Cleaning in Whickham — 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.
