Soft Wash Exterior Cleaning in Northampton
Pressure washing strips protective coatings, damages surfaces, and forces water where it shouldn't go. Soft washing uses low-pressure water and professional biocide treatments to clean properly — without the damage. We carry out soft wash exterior cleaning across Northamptonshire, covering everything from roof moss removal to fascia restoration, gutter clearing, conservatory roofs, and solar panels. One team, one visit, the whole lot sorted.
What Soft Washing Actually Means
Soft washing is low-pressure water combined with professional cleaning agents — typically biocide treatments that kill moss, algae, lichen, and organic growth at the root level rather than just blasting it off the surface. The difference matters because high-pressure washing damages what it cleans. It strips the factory-applied coating from concrete roof tiles. It erodes mortar. It forces water into gaps in cladding and fascia boards. It makes moss come back faster because the surface is now rougher and more porous than before.
Soft wash cleans the surface and treats it. Results last years, not weeks.
What We Clean
Roof Moss Removal and Roof Cleaning
The most in-demand exterior cleaning job we do. Moss builds up on tiles slowly — it can be years before you realise how bad it's got. By then it's blocking gutters, causing frost damage to tiles, and making the property look neglected. We remove moss by hand, apply a professional biocide treatment across the whole roof, and clear the gutters as part of the job. Results typically last three to five years. No deposit required — we visit the property first, inspect the loft space, and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Fascia, Soffit and Cladding Cleaning
UPVC fascias and soffits go green over time. The discolouration comes from algae and airborne mould spores settling on the surface. Our pure-water heated system lifts it without chemicals that could damage or bleach the plastic. Most fascias come back to near-original white in a single visit. Commercial cladding panels respond well to the same treatment.

Gutter Clearing and Inspection
Blocked gutters cause water to back up against the fascia and run down inside the wall. We clear the gutters, remove the debris, and check for cracks, sagging, or joint failures while we're there. If a mossy roof is causing the blockages, we'll say so — clearing the gutter without treating the roof is a short-term fix.

Conservatory Roof Cleaning
Algae and moss block light and make polycarbonate and glass conservatory panels look permanently grubby. We clean from ground level using our ladderless pole system — nobody stands on your conservatory roof. Most jobs take under an hour and the difference is immediate.

Solar Panel Cleaning
Dirt and algae on solar panels reduce output. Even a light film of grime across the panel surface cuts efficiency. We clean using pure deionised water from ground level — no chemicals, no roof contact, no risk to the panels or your warranty.

Why Soft Washing Beats Pressure Washing
Pressure washing is fast and cheap to deliver. It's also why so many roofs need cleaning again within 12 months of being "done." Blasting the surface removes the visible moss but roughens the tile, strips protective coatings, and leaves the spores and root systems in the tile pores intact. They regrow faster on the newly roughened surface.
The biocide treatments we use penetrate the porous surface of tiles, fascias, and cladding and kill the organic growth at its source. The clean surface stays clean because the biology that causes the growth has been eliminated rather than temporarily displaced.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is soft wash exterior cleaning?
Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with professional biocide treatments to clean exterior surfaces. Unlike pressure washing, it doesn't strip protective coatings or damage surfaces. The biocide kills moss, algae, and lichen at the root level, so results last years rather than weeks.
Do you do driveway or patio cleaning?
We focus on above-ground exterior cleaning — roofs, fascias, gutters, conservatories, and solar panels. For driveways and patios, contact us and we'll let you know our current availability for those jobs.
Can you clean the whole exterior in one visit?
Yes. Most customers who book a roof clean also have gutters cleared and fascias cleaned in the same visit. We'll quote for everything together. A combined package covering the roof, gutters, fascias, and windows is common.
Do you take a deposit?
No. We give you a fixed price after the site visit and you pay when the work is done.
