Careful Exterior Cleaning in Dedham and Dedham Heath

Dedham lies at the heart of the Dedham Vale National Landscape, with its Georgian High Street, the tall tower of St Mary’s church and the river meadows that Constable painted. Many homes are listed or inside the conservation area, while Dedham Heath, to the south, adds family houses and bungalows.

Period property needs a gentle hand. We clean gutters, rooflines, conservatory roofs, solar panels, roofs and paving around Dedham, and we always explain what we plan to do before we start.

What exterior cleaning do you offer in Dedham?

In Dedham and Dedham Heath, we clear gutters, wash fascias and soffits, clean conservatory roofs and solar panels, remove roof moss and pressure wash drives. Old, porous materials and mist off the Stour mean we choose gentle methods on older buildings. Conservatory roofs start at £80, and roofs from £800, priced on survey. Call 01206 688698.

Old brick, river mist and big trees

Mature trees, mist off the Stour and old, porous materials mean moss and lichen grow happily on Dedham’s roofs and walls. Soft red brick, lime mortar and handmade clay tiles can be damaged by high pressure, so we choose low-pressure or hand methods on older buildings and keep full pressure washing for modern paving.

Dedham cleaning services and prices

No area surcharges: Dedham pays our normal prices, and you get 10% off the one-off jobs when you book two or more different services.

Gutter clearing

Older cast-iron guttering is common in the village, and the vacuum clears it without putting any weight on the brackets. Nobody needs to lean a ladder on your roofline: a high-reach vacuum pulls the muck out of each gutter from below, and we finish by checking the flow at the outlets. You’ll pay £100, £120, £140 or £160, going up with the size of the property (2-bed to 5-bed detached). More about gutter clearing.

Cleaning roof tiles

Handmade clay tiles and old slate are cleaned gently, if at all, after a careful survey. We take moss off roof tiles by hand, and with steam on roofs that suit it. Every roof gets a survey and a quote first, from a guide price of £800. More about roof cleaning.

Conservatory roof and glazing bars

Conservatory roofs gather moss in the ridges, bird mess and a green film that cuts out the light. We clean the roof panels and the frames. Cost: £80 (2 bed), £90 (2/3 bed semi), £110 (3/4 bed detached), £130 (5 bed detached). More about conservatory cleaning.

Block paving, slabs and paths

Old brick paths and soft stone get a low-pressure clean; modern paving can take the full treatment. Block paving, slabs, concrete and paths are pressure washed to lift moss, weeds and black spots. Every driveway and patio is different, so each one is quoted individually. More about pressure washing.

Fascia and soffit cleaning

Green lines and dark drips along the eaves are lifted off with brushes and plenty of water, worked from the ground. Priced the same as gutter clearing, from £100 to £160 depending on the size of the property. More about fascia and soffit cleaning.

Cleaning solar panels

Birds like a warm roof, and droppings on a panel block the cells underneath. We clean the panels with purified water and soft brushes. Up to 16 panels: £8 a panel. 17 to 25 panels: £7 a panel. Above that, ask us for a price. More about solar panel cleaning.

Questions about cleaning in Dedham

Do I need permission to clean a listed building in Dedham?

Routine cleaning usually doesn’t need consent, but anything that could alter historic fabric might. If in doubt, speak to Colchester City Council’s conservation officer before booking roof work. We’ll tell you exactly how we intend to clean.

Will pressure washing damage old brick paths?

It can, so we don’t use high pressure on old brick or soft stone. We’ll suggest a gentler approach and quote for that.

Is Dedham Heath covered too?

Yes, both the village and the Heath. Call 01206 688698.
