Why Pure Water Works Better on Fascias and Soffits Than a Hose Ever Will

The Direct Answer

Fascias and soffits, the boards along the roofline and underneath the gutter, respond to pure water the same way windows do: because the water has had its dissolved minerals removed, it dries without leaving the white mineral haze a normal hose or tap fill leaves behind. On white uPVC that haze is easy to mistake for the boards still being dirty, when really it is just hard water residue sitting on top of a clean surface.

Why they go grey in the first place

• They sit directly under the gutter, catching drips and overflow first.
• Roof moss washes down and streaks across them.
• They are rarely looked at closely until they are obviously bad.

How the clean is done

From the ground on extension poles, never a ladder propped against the fascia itself. Pure water rinses the grime away and dries completely clear, so the boards come up white without the streaking a tap-fed hose would leave.

What does not come back to white

If the uPVC itself has yellowed from age rather than simply being dirty, a clean improves the look but will not reverse yellowing in the plastic. We tell you honestly which you are dealing with before starting.

FAQ: Is this worth doing on its own?

On its own, usually from £80. Booked with a gutter clear it costs less again, since we are already up there with the poles out.

FAQ: What does it cost?

From £80, less again when booked with a gutter clear. Full detail on the fascia and soffit page.
