Home›Gutter, Fascia & Soffit Cleaning›Merrow
Grubby white plastic at the top of the house drags the whole frontage down. Across Merrow we scrub the outer face of gutters, plus fascia boards and soffit panels, lifting green film, black drip lines and grime so the roofline looks bright again.
White uPVC never stays white on its own. Within a few years the face of the gutter picks up vertical black lines where dirty water has dribbled over the lip, the fascia board turns faintly green on the shady side, and the soffit underneath collects cobwebs, fly spots and dust. It does no immediate harm, yet a lovingly kept Merrow house ends up looking tired to anyone walking past. Our fascia and soffit cleaning in Merrow tackles the outside surfaces of the roofline – gutter fronts and undersides, fascia boards, soffits and bargeboards – as opposed to the channel where the rain runs.
A mild solution made for uPVC goes on first, pole-mounted brushes with soft bristles scrub it in, and fresh water rinses the lot away. The team stays down on the lawn for nearly all of it, so nothing leans on glass or squashes the borders. Stubborn tiger stripes get extra attention by hand. Because the gutter interior is the source of much of that staining, many customers book a gutter clear at the same visit, so the newly cleaned fronts are not re-streaked by the next overflow. The result is a roofline that looks freshly fitted, without the cost of replacing anything.
Tucked under the chalk ridge of the Downs, Merrow gets more shade and lingering moisture than the middle of Guildford. Houses on the higher roads, near Merrow Downs and Guildford Golf Club, sit among mature beech and yew, and the north-facing fascias on those properties hold damp for days after rain. Algae love that, and a green bloom spreads along the boards and into the corners of soffits. Homes on tree-lined stretches around Merrow Woods and Boxgrove see the same pattern, along with sap and pollen spots in spring.
Then there is the A246. Properties facing Epsom Road, one of the main routes into Guildford from the east, collect a fine film of road grime on everything at first-floor height. White gutter fronts show it first. Meanwhile the classic black tiger stripes form when a gutter has been full and water carrying fine dirt has trickled over the edge again and again; the residue bonds to the plastic and will not wash off in the rain.
The housing mix means rooflines here vary from the modest eaves of post-war semis on Bushy Hill to the long, multi-gabled fascias of large detached homes near the Downs. We clean them all across GU1 and GU4, and for the bigger properties a combined gutter clear and fascia wash is usually the most efficient way to get the whole roofline sorted in one visit.
Here is how a grubby fascia and soffit becomes clean, bright plastic again.
First we inspect how the plastic has aged, mark up the worst staining or algae on shaded sides, and confirm which elevations, porches and bays are being washed.
Our uPVC-friendly mix goes onto every gutter front, board and soffit panel. It loosens algae, road film and the oily residue that forms tiger stripes without harming the finish.
Long-reach soft brushes work the solution into the surface. Stubborn black streaks get extra passes, and soffit vents and corners are cleared of cobwebs and debris.
Everything is rinsed down with clean water to leave no residue, the area below is tidied, and we check each elevation in daylight before calling it done.

A fascia and soffit wash covers the outside of everything along the eaves, not just the board you notice first. On a typical Merrow home that includes:
Fancy the gutter channels emptied too? Mention that in your first message and it goes on the same visit.
Every quote is tailored to the house rather than taken from a standard rate. The things that make a difference are:
Pictures showing every elevation usually let us confirm a firm figure without visiting.
In almost every case, yes. Algae sits on the surface of uPVC rather than in it, so a mild wash plus soft bristles shifts it easily. Properties under trees near Merrow Downs tend to regrow it faster, so an occasional wash keeps them looking their best.
They form when dirty water repeatedly spills over the gutter lip, usually because the gutter is full or blocked. Fine particles stick to the plastic and harden into lines. We clean the stripes off, and clearing the gutter at the same time helps stop them coming back.
Never. A powerful jet drives water up behind fascia boards and through soffit vents, and it can chip older, sun-brittle plastic. Instead the boards get a mild wash, a going-over with soft bristles and a gentle rinse – far kinder to both the uPVC and the timber or felt behind it.
Yes. Exhaust film from a main road gives white plastic that dull pewter tone. Fortunately it shifts readily under our wash, a thorough scrub and a rinse, and the difference between the cleaned and uncleaned sections is usually obvious straight away.
We work almost entirely from ground level with soft-headed telescopic poles, so ladders are only used where an area cannot be reached safely any other way. That keeps your windows, flower beds and conservatory roof free from ladder contact.
It can, and it is a popular combination. We empty the gutter channels first, then scrub the gutter fronts, boards and soffit panels, so you get a clean roofline inside and out from a single visit.
