Services
Window Cleaning
Our window cleaning service utilises Reach & Wash technology with pure water filtration to deliver streak-free finishes. Certified technicians clean up to 60ft heights safely from ground level, removing all dirt and mineral deposits without chemical detergents. This environmentally friendly method leaves windows sterile and maintains clarity longer by preventing residue build-up.
Gutter Cleaning
Professional gutter clearance using Gutter Vac technology removes leaves, debris, and blockages from ground level. Our team cleans gutters up to five storeys high, ensuring proper water drainage and preventing property damage. Regular maintenance prevents overflow issues and extends gutter system longevity while maintaining kerb appeal.
Solar Panel Cleaning
Specialist solar panel cleaning restores energy efficiency using de-ionised water and soft brushes. Our ladder-free system safely reaches panels up to 80ft, removing dirt build-up that can reduce output by 25%. Regular cleaning maintains optimal performance and maximises return on investment for residential and commercial installations.
Softwashing
Softwashing safely removes algae, moss, and organic stains from rendered walls and cladding. This chemical-assisted method uses low pressure to protect surfaces while eliminating deep-seated mould and lichen. Ideal for K-rend properties, it restores appearance without damage and prevents future biological growth.
Conservatory Cleaning
Comprehensive conservatory restoration includes UPVC treatment, glass cleaning, and gutter maintenance. Our pure water system removes algae and discolouration from frames while specialist products revive white finishes. Both interior and exterior cleaning options available to restore light transmission and structural appearance.
