What Are Fascias & Soffits?
Your roofline is made up of several components that frame the edge of your roof. Over time, these collect dirt, algae, and weathering that makes your whole property look tired — even if everything else is clean.
Fascia Boards
The vertical boards that run along the lower edge of your roof, usually where gutters are attached. Most visible from street level.
Soffits
The horizontal boards underneath the roof overhang, connecting the fascia to the wall. Often ventilated to allow airflow into the roof space.
Bargeboards
The boards on gable ends (the triangular wall sections). Follow the roof slope and are highly visible on properties with gable roofs.
Common Materials We Clean
Common Problems We Remove
Recognise any of these on your fascias and soffits?
Black Algae Streaks
Dark streaks running down fascias, especially below gutters and in shaded areas. This is algae growth that wipes off with proper cleaning.
✓ Removed with UPVC cleaner
Green Mould & Mildew
Green patches common on north-facing and shaded soffits. Thrives in damp conditions and spreads if left untreated.
✓ Killed and removed
Grey Weathering
Overall dull, grey appearance where white UPVC has weathered. UV exposure and pollution cause this gradual discolouration.
✓ Restored to bright white
Cobwebs & Insect Debris
Spider webs, wasp nests, and insect debris accumulate in soffit corners and under roof overhangs.
✓ Cleared completely
Leaf Staining
Tannin stains from leaves that have sat against fascias, especially where gutters overflow. Orange-brown discolouration.
✓ Lifted with treatment
Bird Droppings
Acidic bird droppings that stain and can damage UPVC if left. Common under roof edges where birds perch.
✓ Safely removed

Fascia & Soffit Cleaning FAQs
How much does fascia and soffit cleaning cost?
Fascia and soffit cleaning in Leicester costs £60-£180 depending on property size. Terraced houses from £60, semi-detached around £90, detached homes £120-£180. Best value is combining with gutter cleaning — we're already at height with equipment set up.
Can you remove black marks from UPVC fascias?
Yes, those black streaks are usually algae growth which we remove using specialist UPVC cleaning solutions. In most cases we restore fascias to near-original whiteness. Severely weathered or oxidised UPVC may retain some permanent discolouration, but we'll be honest about what to expect.
Will cleaning damage my UPVC?
No, we use cleaning solutions specifically designed for UPVC that are effective but non-abrasive. We never use harsh chemicals, high-pressure jets directly on surfaces, or abrasive tools that could scratch or remove the protective coating.
Do you clean wooden fascias and soffits?
Yes, we clean painted wooden fascias and soffits using appropriate methods. We can remove dirt, algae, and mould effectively. Wooden rooflines may also need repainting if the paint is flaking — we can advise on this during the clean.
How often should fascias and soffits be cleaned?
We recommend every 1-2 years, ideally at the same time as gutter cleaning. North-facing and shaded areas may need more frequent cleaning as they're more prone to algae and mould growth. Regular cleaning prevents buildup becoming ingrained.
Is it worth cleaning fascias or should I replace them?
Cleaning is almost always worth trying first. Professional cleaning costs £60-£180 vs £1,500-£3,000+ for replacement, and in 90%+ of cases restores appearance dramatically. We'll be honest if we think cleaning won't achieve good results on your specific fascias.
Do you clean the gutters at the same time?
Yes, most customers combine fascia/soffit cleaning with gutter cleaning — we're already at height with equipment set up. This is the most cost-effective approach and gives your whole roofline a complete refresh.
Can you clean bargeboards and cladding too?
Yes, we clean all roofline components including bargeboards (on gable ends), UPVC cladding, and decorative trim. Same UPVC-safe methods apply. We'll quote based on what needs doing.
What about the outside of the gutters?
The exterior of gutters and visible downpipe sections are included in our fascia/soffit cleaning service. We clean all the UPVC roofline components together for a consistent finish.
