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..

 

Reasons to Clean Your Gutters

Dirty gutters can cause damp and structural damage to your home.

Gutter cleaning is an essential part of maintaining your home or business, but it is often overlooked. Simply because it is not something most pay attention to until they see a forest growing from their roof.

You should ideally have your gutters cleaned every 12 months, normally just before winter. In Scotland we are no strangers to rain, in fact, we get it nearly every day so it is essential to have your gutter system working as it should.

There are a few reasons why you need to clean your gutters: 

- A properly working gutter system will prevent dampness and water from finding their way into your property saving you from costly repairs.

- Mold and Mildew forming within your home or place of business can have a few effects, firstly it doesn't look great to anyone who sees it, and secondly or most importantly the particles can cause health issues when you breathe them in especially if you have an underlying condition like asthma.

Gutters are essential for your home. Firstly they keep water flowing away from the building, but gutters also keep homes and buildings safe from a wide range of problems caused by blocked or overflowing guttering. If gutters are blocked or poorly aligned this can lead to water entering your home and cause issues like dampness and if left to continue could cause structural damage to your property.

Keeping up with regular maintenance is crucial in order to prevent costly repairs later on down the line, so it's important that you know when to call a professional gutter cleaning company like us at Caledonia Window Cleaning. We offer a professional window cleaning service in Dunfermline and across Fife.

The Gutter Vaccum system is essentially a very powerful vacuum similar to one in your home although this one is designed to work with extendable poles to reach the height of the gutters of a building while still having enough suction to remove even large blockages.

The benefits of using a Gutter Vacuum include: –

- Grip treads on the ladder feet offer slip resistance, even when wet.

This keeps both employees and customers safe! Also using a Vaccum system ensures there is nothing left behind in the gutter.

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.
