Peter’s Exterior Cleaning
Clay pantile roof half cleaned of moss, Lincolnshire

Moss, grime and green off your roof, drive and gutters — anywhere in Lincolnshire

Roofs, render and conservatory roofs across Lincolnshire, cleaned at the pressure each one takes: low pressure and a biocide on render and tiles, high pressure on drives and patios. Send a few photos of the job on WhatsApp and you’ll get a price back. Every job prices differently, so there’s no list to guess from.

How a price happens

Three photos and a text

There is no price list on this site, and that is deliberate rather than evasive. A north-facing roof under trees and a south-facing one on an open road are the same square metres and a different job, so a list would be wrong for almost everybody who read it.

  1. Photograph the job Stand back far enough to show the whole surface, then take one closer shot of the worst part. Access matters as much as dirt, so a shot showing the ground around it helps.
  2. Send them on WhatsApp Straight to 07504 561937. Add the postcode and say what you want cleaned.
  3. Get a price back For that job, on those surfaces, with what is and is not included spelled out before anybody books anything.

The eight services

What gets cleaned, and how

Each of these is a different surface with a different tolerance, and the method follows the surface rather than the other way round. Gutters, soffits and fascias share a card because they are one visit and one job.

Moss removal

Clay and concrete roof tiles

Tiles need low pressure and a biocide, then time — high pressure dislodges them and forces water under the laps.

Comes off: Moss cushions, lichen crusts and the black streaking that follows them down the slope.

Not included: Loose or cracked tiles get pointed out, not replaced.

Roof moss removal in Lincolnshire

Lower frame edge of a solar panel with bird droppings along it

Solar panels

Roof-mounted and ground-mounted panels

Panels are cleaned with pure water and no detergent — pressure and detergent damage the coating and the seals.

Comes off: The grime film, bird droppings and pollen that shade a cell and cost it output.

Not included: Nothing electrical is touched: no isolators, no inverters, no wiring.

Rotary cleaner edge on block paving, clean strip beside dirty

Driveways and patios

Block paving, concrete and stone flags

Block paving, concrete and flags take high pressure and a rotary surface cleaner, which keeps the water flat and the stripes out.

Comes off: Algae, black spot, the moss in the joints and years of traffic grime.

Not included: Re-sanding joints and sealing are separate jobs, quoted separately.

Window cleaning

Glass, frames and sills

Glass is done with pure water through a pole, worked from the ground — no detergent to dry on and no ladder leaning on the frames.

Comes off: Rain marks, road dust, cobwebs and the dirt line along frames and sills.

Not included: Internal glass is not included, and failed seals are cleaned around.

Window cleaning in Lincolnshire

Black algae run off below a downpipe on cream render

Render

Painted, silicone and monocouche render, and pebbledash

Render needs low pressure and a biocide — high pressure strips the finish and voids the manufacturer’s warranty.

Comes off: Green algae, the black run-off under downpipes and the grey film on north walls.

Not included: Cracked or blown render is reported, not repaired.

Gutters, soffits and fascias

Gutters, downpipes, soffits and fascias

A clearing job first and a cleaning job second: gutters emptied by hand, then the soffits and fascias washed down at low pressure.

Comes off: Leaf silt, moss plugs, sapling growth and the green staining down white uPVC.

Not included: Leaking joints and loose brackets are flagged for a repair, not fixed on the visit.

Conservatories

Polycarbonate sheeting, glass roofs and the frames under them

Polycarbonate sheeting and sealed units take low pressure only — pressure cracks panels and forces water past the seals.

Comes off: Algae on the sheeting, leaf silt in the glazing bars and the green line along the ridge.

Not included: A unit that has already blown stays blown, and interiors are not cleaned.

The part most people are never told

Which surfaces take which pressure

There are two different jobs here and the difference is not marketing. Soft washing means low pressure and a biocide that keeps working for weeks after the visit, and that is what render, roof tiles, conservatory roofs and solar panels take. High pressure on render strips the finish and voids the manufacturer’s warranty. On a clay or concrete tile roof it dislodges tiles and drives water under the laps. On a sealed unit or a polycarbonate sheet it cracks the panel and forces water past the seal.

High pressure is right in one place and expected there: block paving, concrete and stone flags, where a rotary surface cleaner keeps the water flat and stops the stripes a hand-held lance writes into a drive. Windows are a third thing again, pure water through a pole and no pressure at all. Anyone offering to pressure wash a mossy roof is quoting for a different and more expensive job than the one you asked about.

What render cleaning is: low pressure and a biocide on the black run-off that collects under a downpipe.

What driveway cleaning is: high pressure through a rotary cleaner, which is why the edge between done and not done is straight.

Coverage

Areas we cover

Across Lincolnshire. There is no town list on this page on purpose: the county is wide, access matters more than mileage, and a postcode answers the question properly where a list of place names only half answers it. Send yours on WhatsApp with the photos and you will know straight away whether it is a job for us.

Questions that come up

Frequently asked questions

How does pricing work?

Every job prices differently, so there is no list to pick from. Send a few photos of what needs cleaning on WhatsApp and a price for that job comes back.

Why are roofs and render soft washed rather than pressure washed?

High pressure strips a rendered finish and voids the manufacturer’s warranty, and on a tiled roof it dislodges tiles and forces water under the laps. Low pressure with a biocide lifts the growth and keeps working for weeks afterwards.

Will soft washing harm plants or paintwork?

Borders and beds are wetted down before and rinsed after, and the biocide goes on at the dilution the surface takes rather than neat. Paintwork, tarmac and anything delicate gets sheeted where splash is likely.

Do you need access to water and power?

An outside tap and a standard socket are the usual ask. Both get confirmed when the price is agreed rather than discovered on the day, and there are ways round it if neither is available.

How soon can the work be done?

It depends on the weather and what is already booked, because soft washing needs a dry spell to work properly. Send the photos and the next free dates come back with the price.
