Services
Commercial Window Cleaning
Our water-fed pole system enables safe, ladder-free window cleaning for commercial properties. This method uses purified water to leave streak-free finishes on high-rise buildings, schools, and care homes. We follow strict health and safety protocols while minimising disruption to business operations. Clients receive before-and-after photographic documentation of all work completed.
Gutter Cleaning
Using our GutterVacuum system with real-time camera monitoring, we remove debris from domestic and commercial gutters. Our process includes post-cleaning water flow tests and minor repairs. We specialise in hard-to-reach gutters and offer preventative maintenance contracts to avoid blockages and water damage.
Pressure Washing
Industrial jet washers restore block paving, patios, and concrete surfaces to like-new condition. We use mobile equipment suitable for both small domestic driveways and large commercial car parks. This service prepares surfaces for SmartSeal applications that prevent weed regrowth and extend cleanliness duration.
Roof Cleaning
Our IPAF-certified operatives perform manual moss removal combined with biocide treatments. We apply protective coatings to prevent future algae growth while preserving roof integrity. Each project includes a pre-cleaning inspection to determine the appropriate cleaning method and budget requirements.
Soft Washing
Low-pressure cleaning with biodegradable solutions safely removes mould and lichen from delicate surfaces. This method uses 30% less water than traditional pressure washing while achieving longer-lasting results. Ideal for rendering, cladding, and historic buildings requiring gentle treatment.
