Salt and seabirds
Salt spray from the North Sea dries on the glass. The marshes and creeks of the Backwaters attract plenty of birds.
Panels on bungalows towards Frinton are sheltered from the worst of the salt.
Sea on one side, marshes on the other
Walton is unusual in having open sea to the east and the Backwaters, with their creeks and marshes, to the west and north. Both bring birds. Gulls dominate near the seafront, while waders and wildfowl gather around the Backwaters, and droppings on panels are common right across town.
Salt is the other issue. On panels facing the sea it dries into a thin crust that scatters light and holds dust. If your home is close to the front, twice a year is sensible; further inland, once a year usually does it.
Homes on the roads towards Kirby-le-Soken are less exposed, and their panels usually need just one clean a year. Bungalows and family homes in the streets between the town centre and the Naze often have panels on their main roof. They’re less exposed than those right on the front, but they still collect salt on windy days and droppings from the gulls that roam the whole town.
From the pier to the Naze
Walton’s homes range from the Victorian terraces and tall seafront houses near the pier to bungalows and larger homes spread out towards Frinton and the Naze. Panels are more common on the newer and outlying homes, where the roofs are bigger and less overshadowed. On these more exposed roofs, wind brings salt and sand straight off the sea.
Panels on homes near the Naze end of town pick up droppings from all of them. Salt and droppings together form a stubborn layer that pure water and a careful soak deal with.
Why we use pure water
The panels are washed with pure water, filtered until no minerals are left. Because it leaves no residue, there’s nothing on the glass afterwards to attract fresh dirt. Sap and droppings are softened rather than scrubbed. We keep an eye out for damage while we work.
Lichen and moss on the frames
Where Walton-on-the-Naze panels sit in shade or damp air, moss and lichen can start to grow along the bottom edge of the frame, where water and dirt collect. Left alone, it creeps onto the glass. Regular cleaning keeps the edges clear.

Solar panel cleaning in Walton-on-the-Naze: your questions
Do panels near the sea need more cleaning?
Usually. Salt builds up faster near the coast.
Do you cover Kirby-le-Soken?
Yes, along with Walton and Frinton. Call 01255 762761.
Can you clean panels on a tall seafront house?
Usually, from the ground on poles. Unusual buildings are priced after a look.
Are droppings worse near the Naze?
Often, because birds move between the sea and the Backwaters’ marshes all year.
Will cleaning improve my output?
It depends how dirty they were. Panels with droppings or a heavy film often show a noticeable improvement.
