Gutter, Solar and Roof Cleaning in Ardleigh

Ardleigh is a spread-out rural parish north-east of Colchester, with the village centred on its church, Ardleigh Reservoir on its edge, and farmland, lanes and scattered houses reaching towards Dedham Heath and the A120.

Country homes come with country-sized outside jobs: long driveways, big roofs, outbuildings and sometimes ground-mounted solar arrays in a paddock. We clean gutters, rooflines, conservatory roofs, solar panels, roofs and hard standing across the parish.

How much does exterior cleaning cost in Ardleigh?

In Ardleigh, gutter clearing costs £100 to £160 by house size, conservatory roofs £80 to £130 and solar panels £8 each, while roofs start from £800. Open farmland brings harvest dust onto panels, while hedges and field trees fill gutters. Driveways and patios are quoted from photos. Book online or call 01206 688698.

Fields, hedges and farm dust

Open farmland means dust from harvest and ploughing settles on panels and conservatory roofs, while tall hedges and field trees drop leaves into gutters. Gravel and tarmac drives on rural properties pick up mud and moss over winter, and outbuildings often have gutters nobody has looked at for years.

Prices are the same in Ardleigh as everywhere else we work. Book two or more different services and the one-off jobs get 10% off.

Keeping solar panels clear

Harvest dust is the main enemy of panels out here, ground-mounted or on the roof. Rain moves dust around but leaves a film behind, and droppings stay put. A proper clean with purified water clears both. £8 per panel for systems of up to 16 panels, £7 per panel for 17 to 25, and a quote for anything over 25. More about solar panel cleaning.

Gutter clearing by vacuum

Outbuildings and garages can be added to a gutter clear; just mention them when you book. Blocked gutters overflow down the brickwork and can let damp into walls. We suck the debris out with a powered vacuum from ground level, then check that water can reach the downpipes again. Cost: £100 (2 bed), £120 (2 or 3 bed semi), £140 (3 or 4 bed detached), £160 (5 bed detached). More about gutter clearing.

Roof cleaning (price on survey)

We take moss off roof tiles by hand, and with steam on roofs that suit it. Guide price from £800; the exact figure comes after we’ve surveyed the roof. More about roof cleaning.

Patio and driveway cleaning

Long rural drives are simply priced to their size. From a small back patio to a double driveway, we wash out the green, the grime and the weeds between the blocks. Each job is priced on its own. More about pressure washing.

Grubby fascias make a whole house look tired. We scrub the fascia boards, soffits and gutter fronts from ground level and rinse the grime away. Same bands as our gutter clearing: £100, £120, £140 or £160 by property size. More about fascia and soffit cleaning.

Conservatory roof cleaning

We clean conservatory roofs with soft brushes and purified water, working from the ground or from a tower. Cost: £80 (2 bed), £90 (2/3 bed semi), £110 (3/4 bed detached), £130 (5 bed detached). More about conservatory cleaning.
