Home›Gutter, Fascia & Soffit Cleaning›Charlwood
Under Charlwood’s oaks, white plastic eaves rarely stay white for long. Gutter fronts, fascia boards and soffits are washed by hand, shifting green bloom, grey grime and those inky drip lines with soft bristles rather than brute force.
Fresh country air carries plenty of moisture, and damp is what algae needs. On a house tucked among hedgerows and old trees, the uPVC around the roof slowly takes on a green tinge, the soffits go a dusty grey, and the gutter fronts pick up vertical black streaks wherever rain has slopped over the lip. Through careful fascia and soffit cleaning in Charlwood, that discolouration is lifted from the outside of your roofline by hand, so it looks fresh against the brick, render or tile-hanging again.
We stay well away from aggressive blasting. A specialist plastics cleaner is brushed onto the surface with soft-bristled heads carried on long poles, left briefly to loosen the film, then rinsed off with plenty of clean water so the finish is streak-free. Nearly everything is reachable from the ground, keeping ladders off fragile gutters and out of cottage borders. Because the black streaks are usually caused by overflowing gutters, many owners have the inside cleared on the same visit, which deals with the cause as well as the symptoms. Porches, bay roofs, dormers, garages and garden studios can all be included. Our method suits uPVC; owners of painted wooden boards should flag that up so we can judge if a light wash is appropriate.
Charlwood sits in a green, low-lying part of the Weald, surrounded by fields, copses and some of the oldest hedgerow oaks in Surrey. All that greenery is lovely to live among and a big draw for residents, but it also means many homes sit in dappled shade for hours each day, and moisture lingers on walls and eaves long after rain has passed. North-facing rooflines and those close to big trees develop a green algae film first, and soffits hidden from the sun collect dust, pollen and cobwebs.
The housing here is varied. Alongside the timber-framed and tile-hung cottages of the conservation area, the parish has post-war houses and bungalows, barn conversions and farmhouses, and newer detached homes on the village edges and towards Hookwood and Norwood Hill. Many of these have white or coloured uPVC fascias and soffits that were fitted to save on painting, and after years of country weather they can look much older than they are.
Black streaks on gutter fronts are especially common locally because so many gutters fill with oak leaves and overflow in heavy rain, carrying dirt over the edge. A wash restores the roofline, and clearing the gutters at the same time helps stop new streaks forming. We clean fascias and soffits across Charlwood and the wider RH6 area, including detached garages, stables and outbuildings.
Gentle, methodical and finished from the ground wherever possible.
Send pictures of every elevation and any outbuildings, plus your address. The level of staining is usually clear from those, so a fixed price can normally be confirmed that day.
We wet the eaves, then work a uPVC-specific detergent over the gutter fronts, fascias and soffit boards, leaving it a few minutes so the green film starts to release.
Long-reach poles fitted with soft bristles scrub every surface, with extra work on the black drip lines and the shady undersides where grime has built up.
Clean water rinses away loosened dirt and cleaner. We then check each side of the property from the ground and re-treat any spots that need another pass.

Visitors notice the front, but algae prefers the sides and back, so a proper wash goes all the way round the building, outbuildings included if you wish. On a typical Charlwood house, the list of surfaces we work through looks like this:
Fancy the gutters emptied too? Say so alongside your photos, and one combined price will cover both jobs, saving a second visit later in the year.
Village homes come in every shape, from a tiny two-up two-down to a sprawling farmhouse with stables, so each quote is worked out individually. What we weigh up:
A picture of each elevation is plenty for a fixed figure, which is free and carries no commitment.
In most cases, yes. Algae sits on the surface of the uPVC, and a suitable cleaner with soft brushing lifts it away cleanly. On very old, weathered plastic, a slight discolouration can sometimes remain, but we will let you know beforehand if we think that is likely.
It almost always comes down to shade and moisture. Elevations facing north, or overshadowed by oaks and hedges, stay damp for much longer, and that lets algae establish. In a village as leafy as Charlwood, rear and side elevations often need more attention than the front.
No. A powerful jet risks forcing water in behind the boards and leaves the plastic surface slightly roughened, so it soils again faster. Soft bristles, a detergent formulated for uPVC and a gentle low-pressure rinse give a better finish and keep the material in good condition for years.
Yes. Barn conversions often have long, high eaves and broad gable ends, while garages and stables pick up exactly the same green tinge as the house. Including them in the same visit means the whole property looks consistent rather than leaving one gleaming building beside a grubby one.
Our roofline washing is intended for uPVC, and painted wood can be more fragile, particularly if the paint is old or peeling. Mention the timber when you first contact us, ideally with a close-up photo, and we can say honestly whether a gentle wash would be appropriate.
Not if the gutters keep brimming over, because each overflow paints a fresh stripe down the front. Having the inside of the gutters emptied during the same appointment deals with the cause rather than just the symptom, and the roofline then stays smart for considerably longer.
