Exterior Cleaning services in Fife

Cladding cleaning service

Our uPVC cleaning service can take away the years of built up grime caused by traffic and bring your home back to looking its best. When cleaning Fascia and soffits there are two methods depending on how dirty the uPVC is.

Our first option is using pure water only. We apply our pure water using a telescopic brush. The combination of brush head and the water being pumped through disrupts the dirt and carries it away leaving bright clean cladding.

On some occasions a cleaning fluid is needed to strip away the traffic film that has built up over the years. For this we start the same as option one but after we have wet the area and removed the top layer we spray the chemicals and leave them for ten to fifteen minutes to let them work. Then we simply brush and rinse.

How to clean uPVC above a conservatory

One of the main advantages of the reach and wash system is its ability to handle jobs that would be difficult or dangerous by ladder. With the extendable poles and spotless water we can easily clean hard to reach areas to our usual high standards without the risk of injury or the use of things like conservatory roof ladders.

Conservatory roof cleaner

Conservatories can be a great addition to your home adding value and somewhere to hide from the weather in Fife. Over time the roof panels can become dirty blocking light and generally not looking great. Over time this can affect your seals and lead to leaks.

Much like our procedures for soffit cleaning the approach to cleaning your conservatory roof comes down to the extent of the build up of grime or moss. Firstly we would use the combination of our water and facelift pole to clean the panels as much as possible before applying chemicals.

To finish we do a double clean on the conservatory windows to rinse away any debris or chemicals from the roof for a perfect finish and another five star review.

Gutter Cleaning

Local gutter cleaning in Dunfermline and across Fife. Depending on access we may use ladders where downpipes are inspected close up and any blockages removed by hand. This also gives the opportunity to carry out any gutter repairs.

As gutter specialists we can carry out most repairs and routine maintenance clearances on residential or commercial properties.

How to clean gutters above a conservatory

Depending on the positioning some gutters can be accessed from either side of the conservatory with an extendible pole which is pulled along the gutter pulling any blockages with it.

Where ladders are not an option we use our gutter vac system, with up to a 40ft reach it can easily remove any blockages leaving sparkling gutters. Contact the gutter guys in fife today for a no obligation quote..

Cleaning Tips for Windows and Frames

Cleaning Tips for Windows and UPVC

Unlike its predecessor wood U.P.V.C is very durable and so needs little maintenance to maintain a fair aesthetic look. In this blog, I've put together some of our tricks of the trade to try and show the best methods of keeping your U.P.V.C looking and functioning how it should. If You can think of anything we have missed please let me know in the comments.

How we clean U.P.V.C Frames and surrounds:

The majority of the time It is very simple to keep U.P.V.C clean. A little fairy liquid In warm water will take the majority of the dirt away and restore your window frames and surroundings back to their former glory.

In some circumstances, there can be heavier build-up or staining caused by pollution in the air or neglect. In these, situations it may be necessary to use a stronger cleaning agent. I would recommend a particle-based cleaner for example as Cif or Pink Stuff. Due to the small particles in the solution, it acts as an abrasive helping to remove stubborn stains.

If you are not sure of which cleaner to use or if it is suitable I would highly recommend using a test patch. Pick a small area that isn't easily noticeable such as a corner and try the cleaner on there first. This will show the results and avoid any marks that will infuriate you every time you see it.

You can also purchase Traffic Film removers specially designed to remove the build-up caused by pollution in the air. Whatever cleaning agent you use make sure to rinse the area after cleaning so that there is no residue or dirt left behind after cleaning.

Now that the cleaning agent is sorted you need a method of cleaning. A cloth something similar. As professional window cleaners in Dunfermline and across Fife we mainly use but you could use things like old towels, sponges with soft scrubbers. Do not try things such as steel wool as this Risks scratching and damaging your U.P.V.C and we don't want that.

How to clean your windows yourself:

We are a professional window cleaning service and exterior cleaning specialists due to years of experience cleaning windows, conservatory cleaning, and cleaning conservatory roofs. We are registered with Fife Council and are fully insured to carry out the work. I could go on forever about the best or easiest methods I have developed over the years to clean your windows, solar panels, and everything else but admittedly that would be boring even for me and I love my job so I will spare you.

Depending on the equipment you have available at home would depend on the best or most effective cleaning method you can use. As we carry out a lot of residential and commercial window cleaning we have a reach and wash system that provides purified water through telescopic water-fed poles so that we can carry out the tasks safely.

If all you have at home is some glass cleaner and a soft cloth then that will be your method. Spray some cleaner on generously and with a bit of elbow grease wipe the window until it's dry.

If you have a squeegee and an applicator at home simply wet the applicator and add some dish soap. Apply the soap to the window and use the squeegee to remove using straight pulls from top to bottom. With a cloth to tidy up any bits, you may have missed. This way you minimize the chances of streaks and marks.

The Best way to clean U.P.V.C Sills:

Just as with the Frames and surrounds warm soapy water and a cloth should bring your sills back to life. If there is any heavier staining or dirt then add some cream cleaner and the abrasive side of a kitchen sponge before rinsing. Rest assured you will be happy with the results.

Pure Water Window Cleaning

Purified Water Window Cleaner Dunfermline

What is water-fed pole window cleaning?

Water-fed pole Window cleaning has been around for over a decade and is still evolving with new techniques and equipment to further improve the system. 

Water-fed pole Window Cleaning uses extendable poles made from fiberglass or carbon fiber most commonly with an internal hose supplying the water to the jets on the brush head. This hose can be fitted with a valve which stops the flow of water. This can be very useful especially when working around open windows. These extendable poles provide easy access to windows above the ground floor and also make it possible to clean windows that would be difficult to reach traditionally due to building/ garden layouts.

The development of water-fed pole window cleaning has almost completely removed the need to work from height using ladders. Providing the ability to reach windows twenty to sixty meters from the ground safely and still guarantee a perfect finish after each clean has largely helped the success of this new method.

As a professional window cleaning service, we are licensed by Fife Council and fully insured so our customers can rest assured their property is in safe hands. Operating both commercial window cleaning and residential our team of professional window cleaners are exterior cleaning specialists.

Purified water is pumped through the internal hose of the pole and through the jets in the brush head. Pure water is used to clean the window, frames, and sills leaving a smear and streak-free clean every time without the need to wipe the window after cleaning.

How does water fed pole cleaning actually work

The key to success with water-fed pole window cleaning comes down to two things. 

1. Cleaning method

2. Water quality 

Water that has been purified removing any minerals or impurities prior to use. In Dunfermline, we are quite lucky in that our water is around 35 - 36 parts per million from the tap meaning a single filtering vessel should provide pure water. The water is then either used straight from the tap - window or into a reach and wash system where it is kept until used.

The pure water is pumped through the pole onto the glass while the brush head agitates and disrupts the dirt. The pure water then carries the dirt away followed by the most important part a pure water rinse. This ensures any dirt or other impurities are carried off the glass leaving nothing behind.

What are the Advantages of water fed pole window cleaning

Safe Stringent Work at Height [2005]

Water-fed pole window cleaning is now the H.S.E recommended method of safe working for carrying out window cleaning and they are keen to see it widely adopted within the industry to reduce injuries and deaths. 

No chemicals needed The water-fed pole window cleaning system only uses pure water This system combining the purified water with specially designed brush heads leaves a crystal clear finish when dry. Unlike traditional Window cleaning where soap is applied by an applicator and then removed with a squeegee, this method leaves nothing behind on the glass so that windows stay cleaner longer.
