🔧 DIY Tips
Want to tackle your own exterior spring clean? Here's the full approach:
🔧 What you'll need
- Ladder and roof ladder for gutters (safe access!)
- Gutter scoop and bucket
- Hose with spray attachment
- Pressure washer
- Window cleaning equipment
- Bucket, cloths, and cleaning solution
- Full day minimum
📐 Systematic approach
Gutters (allow 2-3 hours):
- Work section by section around the house
- Scoop out all debris into buckets
- Flush downpipes with hose
- Check brackets are secure
- Note any damage for repair
Windows (allow 1-2 hours):
- External clean only (inside is separate)
- Frames and sills too, not just glass
- Remove cobwebs from around frames
- Check seals and note any issues
Pressure washing (allow 2-3 hours):
- Start with lowest pressure, increase if needed
- Work systematically, don't miss patches
- Keep consistent distance from surface
- Rinse toward drains
- Let dry before assessing if second pass needed
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Rushing the gutters (most important job)
- Wrong pressure setting (damages surfaces)
- Not having proper ladder access
- Forgetting to check downpipes flow
- Ignoring obvious damage that needs attention
💡 Pro trick: Do this job on a dry day with more dry weather forecast. Pressure washing needs time to dry to see the results properly, and working at height in wind or rain is asking for trouble.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🌸 Spring property package? Add garden clearance, fence treatment, and outdoor furniture restoration. Get your whole outdoor space summer-ready in one comprehensive visit.
Best time to book is March or early April. Weather's improving, you're motivated, and you get the benefit all summer. Book too early (Feb) and weather works against you. Leave it to May and you've missed the spring cleaning window.
Exeter's older properties benefit massively from annual exterior maintenance like this. Victorian and Edwardian houses have more external features to clean (decorative brickwork, detailed facias, tiled paths) but they look absolutely brilliant when properly maintained.
Thinking of selling? This service pays for itself in kerb appeal. First impressions matter hugely, and "well-maintained exterior" is one of the first things buyers and agents notice. Worth every penny before putting your property on the market.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a full exterior spring clean include?
Everything outside - gutters cleared, windows cleaned, fascias and soffits washed, paths and drives pressure washed, drains checked and cleared, garden furniture cleaned if you want. Basically your whole property exterior gets properly cleaned and checked after winter. Takes a full day typically.
Why do this in spring specifically?
Winter's been harsh on your property - gutters full of leaves and debris, windows grimy, paths covered in algae and moss. Spring clean sorts it all before summer so you can actually enjoy your garden and outdoor space. Plus you spot any winter damage early.
Can you do just parts of this or is it all-or-nothing?
You can absolutely pick and choose - just gutters, or just pressure washing, whatever you want. The full spring clean is popular because I'm already there with all the equipment, so doing everything together makes economic sense. But you decide what your property needs.
How is this different from just booking separate cleaning services?
It's the same work, just packaged together efficiently. Instead of me coming out four separate times for gutters, windows, pressure washing, and miscellaneous, I do it all in one visit. Saves you money on multiple call-outs and your property gets completely sorted in one day.
Will my older Exeter property be OK with pressure washing?
Yes, but I adjust pressure for your property type. Victorian brickwork and render needs gentler treatment than modern block paving. I've worked on loads of period properties in Exeter - I know how to clean them effectively without causing damage. That's why experience matters.
