How Our Exterior Cleaning Services Can Help

Storms can be unpredictable, leaving a trail of damage and debris in their wake. As a property owner in the UK, it’s essential to assess your home or business after a storm to ensure it remains safe, clean, and structurally sound. The powerful winds, heavy rain, and even hailstorms can affect various aspects of your property, often in ways that are not immediately visible.

At Ex Clean (Formerly known as Elite Wash Exterior Cleaning), we understand how overwhelming it can be to inspect your property after a storm. That’s why we offer professional exterior cleaning services to help you keep your property looking its best and ensure everything is in top condition.

Here’s a helpful guide on what to check for after a storm and how we can assist you in restoring your property to its former glory.

Roof Inspection


Your roof is one of the most vulnerable parts of your property during a storm. High winds, fallen branches, and heavy rain can cause damage that might not be visible from the ground. It’s crucial to check for any missing or loose tiles, cracks, or other signs of damage.

How We Can Help: Our roof cleaning service is designed to not only remove dirt, moss, and algae but also to spot any potential damage. After a storm, we can safely assess your roof for issues, provide a thorough cleaning, and even repair minor damage. This will help prevent further deterioration and extend the life of your roof.

Gutter Cleaning and Inspection


Storms often bring a lot of debris, such as leaves, twigs, and even loose tiles and pointing, which can clog your gutters. Blocked gutters can lead to water damage, foundation issues, and even interior leaks.

How We Can Help: Our professional gutter cleaning service will ensure your gutters are clear of debris, allowing water to flow freely. We also inspect the condition of your gutters and downpipes to make sure they are intact and functioning properly. If necessary, we can carry out minor repairs to prevent future blockages.

Exterior Walls and Windows


Strong winds and rain can leave your walls and windows covered in dirt, stains, and even algae or moss. This not only affects the appearance of your property but can also lead to long-term damage if left untreated.

How We Can Help: We offer expert pressure washing and soft washing services to clean the exterior of your property. This removes dirt, grime, and biological growth such as moss or algae that may have formed on your walls.

We also clean windows, ensuring that both your home and business look pristine after the storm. 

Driveways and Pathways


Your driveway and pathways can take a beating during a storm, especially if you live in an area prone to flooding or fallen debris. Mud, dirt, and even oil stains can make these areas look unsightly and slippery, creating safety hazards for you and your family.

How We Can Help: Our driveway and pathway cleaning services include pressure washing to remove stubborn stains, moss, and dirt, restoring the appearance and safety of these high-traffic areas. We can also treat the surfaces to prevent future moss and algae growth, ensuring your driveway stays in excellent condition year-round. Let us help you, click here. 

Garden and Outdoor Spaces


After a storm, your garden may be scattered with debris, fallen branches, and dirt, and your patio or decking might be slippery or covered with organic growth. It’s important to check these areas not only for cleanliness but for safety, too.

How We Can Help: We offer garden cleaning services to tidy up your outdoor spaces, clear debris, and ensure that patios, decking, and pathways are safe to use. Our team can also pressure wash decking and patios to remove grime, algae, and moss, helping to maintain their condition and prolong their lifespan.

Structural Safety Checks


While exterior cleaning is important, storm damage can sometimes affect the structure of your property in more subtle ways. Cracks in walls, shifted fences, or weakened foundations are all signs of damage that should be addressed as soon as possible.

How We Can Help: While we’re primarily focused on exterior cleaning, we can help by pointing out any obvious signs of structural damage during our inspections. We’ll advise you on the next steps to take and may recommend a professional structural surveyor if necessary.
