Professional Exterior House Cleaning

A good house wash is planned from the top down. Gutters and the roofline come first, walls next and paths and patios last, so dirt and runoff from above never land on a finished surface. Walls are soft washed at low pressure with a treatment given time to work, uPVC is washed gently and paving gets pressure set for the slab. Domestic work is taken on within about fifteen miles of the Dover base.

What makes a good house wash

The best house washing is not about the most powerful machine. It is about choosing the right method for each surface, working in the right order and protecting what is around the house. Plants, ponds, windows and cars are considered before treatment starts. Coloured renders such as K Rend need extra care. The result should be an even, clean finish without streaks, marks or damage.

A clear scope matters too. You should know which walls, which boards and which paths are included, and what each part costs.

Walls: render, brick and pebbledash

Walls are usually the biggest part of a house wash. Rendered walls are soft washed to lift green algae and black streaks. Brick is cleaned with a method chosen for the brick and mortar. Pebbledash needs treatment that reaches into its textured surface. Each has its own page if you want to read about one surface in depth.

Roofline, uPVC and windows

Fascias, soffits and gutters are cleaned and cleared from the ground where access allows. uPVC frames and doors are washed gently so they are not scratched. Window cleaning can be added so the glass matches the rest of the house.

Paths, steps and patios

Hard surfaces are cleaned last, after runoff from the walls and roofline has finished. Paths, front steps and patios get pressure and treatment suited to their material, and block paving joints are refilled where needed. Including them in the same visit means the whole outside of the house is finished together.

How is the outside of a house cleaned safely?

By working at low pressure on walls and plastics, protecting nearby surfaces and planting, choosing treatments for the material and rinsing thoroughly. Anything needing specialist access is discussed and priced before work starts. The house washing guide explains what to expect on the day and how to prepare.
