Exterior cleaning for flats: private windows and shared spaces

For a flat, define the windows and surfaces you are arranging to have cleaned, then confirm access and who can authorise any communal work. A quote for one home and a quote for the whole building need separate briefs.

Cleaning a terraced house: rear access, yards and shared boundaries

A terraced-house cleaning brief should show the route to the rear and list the front, back, extension and yard separately. Confirm access before comparing prices for a whole-house clean.

Exterior cleaning for semi-detached homes: include the side properly

For a semi-detached home, list the front, side and rear elevations and make the boundary with the adjoining home clear. Side passages, garages and extensions often change the scope more than the bedroom count.

Planning an exterior clean for a detached home

Price a detached home by its actual surfaces and access, including each elevation and separate structure. A larger plot does not automatically mean every wall, roof, path or outbuilding belongs in one cleaning quote.

Planning & aftercare

How often should you book window cleaning?

Choose a window-cleaning interval around the finish you want, how quickly your own windows become dirty and the scope of the visit. Compare a first clean and a recurring arrangement as separate decisions.

uPVC frames, sills and doors: what belongs in a cleaning quote?

Ask for glass, frames, sills and doors to be listed individually. Identify the finish and any specialist marks before a cleaner chooses products; a window-cleaning quote does not automatically include every uPVC surface.

Planning & aftercare

When should you check gutters and arrange clearance?

Use visible overflow, debris and the condition of your rainwater system to decide when to ask for an assessment. A routine check is useful, but a leaking joint or damaged gutter may need repair as well as clearance.

Block paving: cleaning, re-sanding and sealing explained

Resin-bound driveway cleaning: check the system first

Find the installer or product information before agreeing a method for a resin-bound drive. Ask the cleaner to follow guidance for that system and to assess stains, drainage and existing damage separately.

Patio black spots and stains: what to ask before treatment

Photograph the marks and identify the paving before choosing a treatment. Black spots are a description of appearance, so a provider should assess the cause, surface and likely result rather than promise that one wash removes everything.

DIY pressure washing or a professional clean?

Compare the whole job: identifying the surface, choosing a suitable method, controlling the work and leaving an agreed finish. Owning or hiring a pressure washer does not establish that pressure washing suits the surface.

Checking an exterior cleaner’s insurance and reviews

Our approved providers must show business-insurance evidence and customer reviews before approval. For your particular job, also ask about relevant experience, the proposed method and the work covered by the quote.

Exterior cleaning for older and traditional buildings

For an older building, establish the material, condition and any permissions affecting the work before agreeing cleaning. Maintenance, cleaning, repair and alteration should be described separately.

Timber and composite decking: choose the right cleaning brief

Identify the decking material and product before asking for cleaning. Timber, coated boards and different composite ranges can require different care, so specify the system and condition rather than requesting the strongest wash.

Fascia, soffit and gutter washing: specify the outside clean

An external wash of gutters, fascias and soffits is a different scope from clearing debris inside the gutter. Name both if you want both, and ask how the material and access affect the method.

Arranging an exterior clean when you are not at home
