Is your home looking a little worse for wear

1. Roof Check and Clean

Your roof faces the harshest weather, so it’s no surprise it can end up covered in dirt, moss, and mould.

Left untreated, these growths can cause leaks, weaken tiles, and lead to expensive damage.

Keep an eye out for dark streaks, green patches, or cracked tiles in particular. Cleaning your roof now can save you thousands later.

2. Gutter Cleaning

Blocked gutters don’t just look bad—they can overflow and cause water damage to your walls and foundations. Worse still, damp areas can attract pests.

Be sure to clear gutters at least twice a year, especially after storms. Make sure downspouts are directing water away from your home.

3. Driveway and Path Cleaning

Dirty driveways and paths don’t just look untidy—they can also become slippery and dangerous. Oil stains, algae, and moss build-up can lead to accidents if ignored.

Wash concrete regularly and seal it for some added protection. Fix small cracks early to avoid costly repairs.

4. Deck and Patio Maintenance

Your deck or patio should be a space to relax—not an eyesore covered in dirt, moss, or mildew. Dirty surfaces can also become slippery, putting your family at risk.

Sweep often and deep clean at least once a year. Regular maintenance keeps outdoor areas safe and ready for entertaining.

5. Windows and Screens

Clean windows don’t just improve your view—they brighten up your home and make it feel fresher. Dirty screens can block airflow and let bugs inside.

It’s best to wash windows and frames every few months, and check screens for damage. Replace any torn screens as they happen to keep pesky insects out.

6. Walls and Siding

Over time, walls collect dirt, cobwebs, and mould. Left untreated, grime can cause damage and lead to costly repainting or repairs.

Soft washing is the best way to clean delicate walls and siding without damage. It’s also great at preventing mould from coming back.

7. Concrete Sealing

Concrete driveways, patios, and paths are prone to cracks and stains. Sealing them not only makes cleaning easier but also protects against wear and tear.

Make sure to clean concrete thoroughly before sealing to lock in the fresh look and extend its lifespan.

8. Fence Cleaning and Repairs

Fences create the first impression of your home, so keep them clean and sturdy. Mould, dirt, and rust can cause fences to rot or fall apart.

Wash wooden fences and re-seal them if needed. For metal fences, remove rust and repaint to prevent corrosion.

9. Eaves and Overhangs

These hard-to-reach areas often collect cobwebs, dirt, and insect nests. Keeping them clean improves your home’s look and deters pests.

Low-pressure washing methods are the best way to safely clean tricky spots.

10. Solar Panel Cleaning

Dust and bird droppings reduce the efficiency of solar panels, costing you money. A quick clean can boost performance and protect your investment.

Clean panels regularly to keep them working at their best!
