Exterior House Washing
A full clean of the outside of your home, matched to each surface, so render looks bright again, cladding loses its green film and windowsills stop collecting grime.
The slow build up you stop noticing
Lincoln homes sit through damp winters, still summer days and plenty of passing traffic. Over a few seasons, that mix leaves a fine layer of dirt on every wall. North facing elevations turn faintly green, white render picks up grey streaks below the sills, and uPVC fascias take on a yellow tinge.
Because the change is gradual, most homeowners only notice it when a neighbour has their house cleaned, or when a photo makes the walls look tired. Exterior house washing resets that clock and makes the whole property look cared for again.
What exterior house washing covers
- Rendered, painted and pebble dash walls
- uPVC and timber cladding
- Fascias, soffits and bargeboards from the outside
- Window frames, sills and door surrounds
- Brick and stone elevations at a suitable pressure
- Rinsing of paths and borders once the walls are done
How a house wash is carried out
- Step 1
Walk round and surface check
Each elevation is looked at first so the right method is chosen for render, brick, cladding or painted finishes, and fragile areas are noted.
- Step 2
Protect and prepare
Plants, doors, vents and outdoor fittings near the work area are considered before any water or cleaning solution is applied.
- Step 3
Clean from the top down
Walls are cleaned with low pressure and a suitable solution where needed, so dirt is loosened rather than blasted into the surface.
- Step 4
Rinse and final look
Every wall is rinsed thoroughly, then frames, sills and the ground below are checked and rinsed again before finishing.
Low pressure first, for good reason
High pressure is not the answer for most walls. It can etch render, force water behind cladding and loosen old mortar. A gentler soft wash approach removes organic growth at the root and leaves the surface intact, which also means the clean tends to last longer.
Exterior house washing pairs naturally with gutter exterior cleaning, since streaked gutter faces are often the first thing you see once the walls are bright again.
Questions about exterior house washing
Will washing damage my render?
Render is cleaned with low pressure and a suitable solution rather than a powerful jet, which is the approach best suited to painted and textured finishes.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. Access to an outside tap and clear paths around the property are the main needs. Let us know your situation when you enquire.
