Frequently Asked Questions
What makes soffits go grey?
Pollution, oxidation, and general grime. UPVC attracts dust and it bonds over time. Green algae grows on shaded areas. Cobwebs collect in corners. All removable with proper cleaning.
Can you reach all soffits?
Most yes - with ladders and extension poles. Very high or awkward access may need discussion. Three-storey properties often need more time.
Do you do soffits with fascias and gutters?
Often done together - makes sense as we're up there anyway. Package deals available. The whole roofline looking fresh makes a big difference.
Will cleaning damage old UPVC?
Proper cleaning technique is safe. Very old, brittle UPVC needs gentler approach. We check condition before starting. Cleaning actually protects by removing grime that degrades surfaces.
