Fascia & Soffit Cleaning in Colchester and Stanway

Professional Fascia and Soffit Cleaning Across Colchester

Keep your roofline looking clean with professional fascia and soffit cleaning in Colchester, Stanway, and surrounding areas. We remove dirt, algae, cobwebs, and staining using safe methods that protect your property.

Fascias and soffits get forgotten until they're filthy. Regular cleaning keeps them looking good and prevents long-term damage from algae and grime build-up.

What Are Fascias and Soffits?

Not everyone knows what fascias and soffits are. Here's a quick explanation.

Fascias

The fascia is the board that runs along the edge of your roof. It's what your gutters attach to.

Fascias are usually uPVC these days, but older houses have wooden ones.

Soffits

The soffit is the board underneath the fascia, between the wall and the roofline.

Look up at the overhang of your roof. That flat or vented panel underneath? That's the soffit.

Why They Get Dirty

Fascias and soffits are exposed to weather, pollution, and organic growth.

Over time, they pick up:

• Algae and moss

• Dirt and grime

• Cobwebs and insect nests

• Staining from gutters overflowing

• Pollution and traffic residue

Once they're dirty, they stay dirty. Rain doesn't clean them. It just makes the staining worse.

How We Clean Fascias and Soffits

We use two methods depending on what's needed.

Water Fed Pole with Pure Water

For most jobs, we use a water-fed pole system with pure water.

This is the same system we use for window cleaning. Long extendable poles with soft brushes on the end, fed with purified water.

It's gentle, effective, and safe. The brushes agitate dirt while pure water rinses everything away.

No chemicals needed. No risk of damage.

Low Pressure Washing

If there's heavy staining, algae, or grime that won't shift with brushes alone, we use low-pressure washing.

This isn't high-pressure jet washing. That would damage uPVC and strip paint off wooden fascias.

We use a controllable pressure washer with an extendable lance. Just enough pressure to remove stubborn dirt without causing damage.

What's Included

When we clean fascias and soffits, we do the whole roofline properly.

That includes:

• Fascia boards (front and edges)

• Soffit panels (including vents)

• Bargeboards (the angled boards on gable ends)

• Gutter exteriors (not the inside, that's gutter clearing)

• Any cladding or trim around the roofline

You get a consistent clean across the whole area.

Access Up to 3 Floors

Our equipment reaches up to 3 storeys, depending on the property and access.

Bungalows, two-storey houses, and most three-storey buildings are fine.

If we can't reach safely, we'll let you know before we start.

Why Fascia and Soffit Cleaning Matters

It's not just cosmetic. Though that's part of it.

Prevents Long-Term Damage

Algae and moss don't just sit on the surface. They hold moisture against uPVC and wood.

On wooden fascias, that moisture causes rot. On uPVC, it causes discolouration and surface degradation over time.

Regular cleaning removes the organic growth and stops damage before it starts.

Improves Kerb Appeal

Fascias and soffits frame your whole house. When they're dirty, the whole property looks neglected.

Clean fascias make your home look cared for. If you're selling, it makes a difference.

Stops Staining Becoming Permanent

Some stains, if left too long, become permanent. Algae eats into uPVC. Overflow staining from gutters sets into the surface.

Clean them regularly and stains don't get the chance to set.

Works Well With Gutter Clearing

Fascia and soffit cleaning pairs perfectly with gutter clearing.

If your gutters are overflowing, chances are your fascias are stained. Clearing the gutters stops future staining, and cleaning the fascias sorts the damage that's already there.

We offer both services. Book them together and we'll do them on the same visit.

What We Clean

uPVC Fascias and Soffits

Most modern homes have uPVC. It's durable, low maintenance, and doesn't rot.

But it still gets dirty. Algae loves uPVC, especially on north-facing sides that don't get sun.

We clean uPVC safely without damaging the surface or stripping the finish.

Wooden Fascias and Soffits

Older houses often have wooden fascias. Some are painted, some are bare timber.

Wood needs careful cleaning. Too much pressure or harsh chemicals will strip paint or damage the wood.

We clean wooden fascias gently to protect the surface.

Gutter Exteriors

Gutters get filthy on the outside. Algae, dirt, and overflow staining make them look worse than they are.

We clean the outside of gutters as part of fascia and soffit cleaning. It's all part of the roofline.

Note: We don't clean the inside of gutters during this service. That's a separate job called gutter clearing.

Cladding and Bargeboards

If you've got cladding, bargeboards, or other trim around your roofline, we'll clean that too.

It's all part of getting the whole roofline looking consistent.

When to Book Fascia and Soffit Cleaning

There's no strict schedule, but most people book every 1-2 years.

If you've got:

• Trees nearby that drop organic matter

• A north-facing side that doesn't get sun

• Gutters that overflow and stain fascias

You'll probably need cleaning more often.

If your fascias and soffits look dirty, book a clean. Simple as that.

Signs Your Fascias and Soffits Need Cleaning

Not sure if yours need doing? Look for:

• Black or green streaks (algae)

• Cobwebs and insect nests

• Dirt and grime build-up

• Staining below gutters

• Discolouration compared to how they used to look

If you're seeing any of that, they need cleaning.

What We Don't Do

We clean fascias and soffits. We don't repair or replace them.

We don't:

• Repair damaged boards

• Replace rotten wood

• Repaint fascias

• Fix loose or sagging gutters

• Seal joints or fix leaks

If we spot damage while we're working, we'll let you know. Then you can get a roofer or carpenter to fix it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does fascia and soffit cleaning take?

Most houses take 1-2 hours. Bigger properties or really dirty rooflines take longer.

We'll give you a time estimate when we quote.

Do I need to be home?

No. As long as we can access the property, we're fine.

We'll let you know when we're done.

Will you damage my fascias?

No. We use low-pressure methods that are safe for uPVC and wood.

If your fascias are already damaged, we'll spot it and let you know.

Can you clean painted fascias?

Yes. We're careful not to strip paint or damage the finish.

If the paint's already flaking or in bad condition, we'll let you know before we start.

Can you reach 3-storey houses?

Usually, yes. Our equipment reaches up to 3 storeys depending on access.

If we can't reach safely, we'll tell you.

How often should fascias be cleaned?

Every 1-2 years for most properties. More often if you've got lots of trees or algae growth.

What if my fascias are damaged?

We'll clean what we can, but we can't fix damage.

If boards are rotten or broken, you'll need a roofer or carpenter to replace them.

Do you clean gutters at the same time?

We clean the outside of gutters as part of fascia cleaning.

If you need gutters cleared (inside), that's a separate service. We offer both, and we can do them on the same visit.

Can you clean in winter?

Yes. We work year-round as long as it's safe.

Winter cleaning is fine. Fascias still get clean, they just take a bit longer to dry.
