uPVC fascias, soffits, bargeboards and cladding don't stay white forever. Over the years they go grey with traffic film, green with algae, and develop those telltale black streaks under the gutters — but it's not permanent. We bring them back to bright white.
Across Chelmsford and Essex we restore the roofline on semis, detached homes and bungalows where the brilliant white uPVC has faded to a dull, streaky grey. It's often the cleaning job that makes the biggest difference to how cared-for a house looks from the kerb — and it's surprisingly affordable.
uPVC is soft plastic, and that's where most people get it wrong. Ingrained green algae and the black streaks under the gutters won't come off with water alone — but blast them with high pressure or scrub them with a harsh abrasive and you'll dull and scratch the plastic permanently, leaving a chalky matt finish that grabs dirt even faster.
The right approach is the correct uPVC-safe chemical plus hand-detailing. We apply a specialist treatment that breaks down the algae and traffic film, then work the surface by hand to lift the ingrained green and the stubborn streaking. Higher fascias and soffits we reach safely with pure water-fed poles, which rinse to a spot-free finish. No harsh abrasives, no high pressure, no risk to the plastic — just bright, even white uPVC.
Here's where you get the best value. Your fascias and soffits sit right alongside your gutters, so having both done in the same visit gives you a completely tidy roofline in one go — clear, free-flowing gutters and bright white uPVC, all finished together. It also saves a second set-up at height, which means we can pass on a discount when the two are booked as a bundle.
If you're already thinking about your gutters, it almost always makes sense to do the lot. Take a look at our gutter cleaning service and ask us about combining the two for the smartest-looking, best-value result.
White and woodgrain-effect uPVC fascias and soffits, foiled and coloured uPVC (anthracite grey, black, cream), exterior cladding in uPVC, Hardie board and composite, bargeboards and verge trims, and uPVC or polycarbonate canopy roofs over doors and porches. If you're not sure what your boards are, send a photo and we'll tell you — and price it.
Fascia and soffit cleaning starts from £90 for a small property roofline. A typical semi-detached or detached home averages £110–£180, depending on the length of the roofline, the height and how heavy the green and streaking is. Bundle it with a gutter clean and you'll get a discount on the combined visit. Full breakdown on our pricing page — or send a photo and your postcode for an exact figure, usually the same day.
No. uPVC scratches and dulls easily, so we never use harsh abrasives, scouring pads or high pressure that can leave a permanent matt finish. We use the correct uPVC-safe chemical and hand-detail the surface, or use pure water-fed poles for higher work, leaving the plastic smooth and bright with no damage. We're fully insured for complete peace of mind.
Yes — those black tiger-stripe streaks running down soffits and fascias under the gutters are traffic film and algae, not staining in the plastic. We treat them with the right chemical and hand-detail them away, bringing the uPVC back to bright white. On stubborn ingrained green and black we work the surface by hand rather than just blasting it, which lifts marks a pole alone leaves behind.
It's the ideal combination. Doing your fascias and soffits at the same time as a gutter clean gives you a fully tidy roofline in a single visit, and because we're already set up and at height it saves a second call-out — which means a discount on the bundle. Most customers book the two together for the best value and the smartest-looking result.
