Exterior Cleaning in Harwich and Dovercourt

Harwich sits at the tip of a peninsula where the Stour and the Orwell meet the sea, with ships moving in and out of the port all day. Old Harwich is a tight grid of historic streets around the High Lighthouse and the Ha’penny Pier; Dovercourt has its Victorian terraces and seafront, and newer estates stretch inland towards Parkeston and Ramsey.

Water on three sides means wind, salt and a great many seabirds. DB Professional Services clears gutters, washes rooflines, cleans conservatory roofs and solar panels, and pressure washes driveways and yards across the whole town.

How much does exterior cleaning cost in Harwich?

In Harwich, gutter clearing costs £100 to £160 by house size, conservatory roofs £80 to £130 and solar panels £8 each, while roofs start from £800. Gulls, salt spray and the older roofs of Old Harwich each need the right approach. Driveways and patios are quoted from photos. Book online or call 01255 762761.

Salt, gulls and older roofs

Gulls are part of life in Harwich, leaving droppings on panels and conservatories and nesting material in gutters. Salt spray coats glass and uPVC, and in Old Harwich many homes have older roofs that need careful handling. On the exposed Dovercourt seafront, salt crust tends to be the bigger problem than moss; inland, under trees, it’s the other way round.

Harwich cleaning services and prices

Here’s what we do in Harwich and what it costs. Choose two or more different services and you save 10% on the one-off jobs.

Panel cleaning with purified water

Gull droppings are a familiar problem on Harwich panels, and they need softening and rinsing rather than scrubbing. Dust, salt and bird droppings on solar panels reduce how much power they make. We clean them with purified water and soft brushes, using an access tower where needed. It’s £8 a panel for up to 16 panels and £7 a panel for 17 to 25. Bigger arrays are quoted. More about solar panel cleaning.

Gutters cleared from the ground

Nesting debris and feathers are as likely as leaves to block a Harwich gutter. A gutter packed with moss and silt holds water against your fascia boards. We clear it out from the ground, section by section, including the openings into the downpipes. 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.

Conservatory roof cleaning

Moss and algae love the shallow pitch of a conservatory roof. We lift it off carefully and rinse the panels clear. From £80 on a 2-bed home up to £130 on a 5-bed detached house. More about conservatory cleaning.

Fascia and soffit cleaning

Fascia and soffit cleaning tackles the black streaks and algae along the roofline, including the outside of the gutters, so the boards look white again. Priced the same as gutter clearing, from £100 to £160 depending on the size of the property. More about fascia and soffit cleaning.

Moss off the roof

Historic roofs in Old Harwich are surveyed carefully before we suggest any method. We take moss off roof tiles by hand, and with steam on roofs that suit it. Price on survey; as a guide, roof cleaning starts from £800. More about roof cleaning.

Driveways, patios and paths

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.
