Question 1

How much does exterior cleaning cost in Harrow?

Accepted Answer

Most homes in Harrow should have gutters cleaned at least twice a year, ideally in autumn after leaves fall and in spring. Properties near trees may need quarterly cleaning. Signs you need gutter cleaning include water overflowing during rain, sagging gutters, plants growing from gutters, or damp patches on external walls. Regular cleaning prevents expensive water damage to your property.

Question 2

Is pressure washing safe for my driveway or patio?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when done professionally. We adjust water pressure based on your surface type. Block paving, concrete, tarmac, and natural stone all require different pressure settings. Our experienced team knows exactly how to clean each material effectively without causing damage. DIY pressure washing often causes problems because people use too much pressure. We get it right first time.

Question 3

Will roof cleaning damage my tiles?

Accepted Answer

No. We use soft washing techniques specifically designed to protect roof tiles while removing moss, algae, and lichen. Unlike high-pressure washing which can crack tiles and force water under them, our method is gentle yet highly effective. We've cleaned thousands of roofs across Harrow without a single tile damaged. Your roof is safe in our hands.

Question 4

Do I need to be home during the cleaning service?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. For exterior services like gutter cleaning, pressure washing, and window cleaning, you don't need to be present as long as we have access to outdoor taps and the areas being cleaned. We'll take before and after photos and send them with your digital invoice. Many of our regular customers leave us to work while they're out. Our reviews often mention how much they trust us with property access. Just let us know your preference when booking.

Question 5

What equipment do you use for window cleaning?

Accepted Answer

We use a pure water fed pole system for most window cleaning jobs. This produces streak-free, spotless results without chemicals. The purified water dries naturally without leaving marks. For interior windows or specific requests, we also use traditional methods with professional-grade squeegees and cleaning solutions. Our equipment reaches up to four storeys high safely from the ground.

Question 6

How long does roof cleaning take?

Accepted Answer

A typical residential roof cleaning takes between 4 to 8 hours depending on roof size, pitch, and the level of moss coverage. We work carefully to ensure thorough cleaning without rushing. Most jobs are completed in a single day. We'll give you an accurate timeframe when we quote. The results last for years, making it a worthwhile investment in your property.

Question 7

Can you clean my gutters if they're very blocked?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Heavily blocked gutters are our specialty. We use industrial vacuum equipment that handles even the worst blockages, including compacted leaves, moss, and debris. We'll also clear downpipes and check the entire gutter system is flowing properly. If we find any damage or issues during cleaning, we'll let you know immediately so you can arrange repairs.

Question 8

What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

Accepted Answer

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt, perfect for hard surfaces like driveways and patios. Soft washing uses lower pressure with specialised cleaning solutions, ideal for delicate surfaces like roofs, render, and painted surfaces. We choose the right method for your specific surface to get excellent results without damage. Sometimes we use both techniques on different areas of the same property.

Question 9

Do you offer regular maintenance contracts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many of our five star customers book regular window cleaning every 4 to 8 weeks, gutter cleaning twice yearly, or annual pressure washing. Regular maintenance keeps your property looking great and prevents minor issues becoming expensive problems. We offer flexible scheduling and discounted rates for recurring customers. Our Google reviews frequently mention customers who've used us for years. Just ask about setting up a maintenance plan that suits your property and budget.
