When it comes to exterior property care, most homeowners and property managers know to keep an eye on their roof and gutters. But there’s one area that’s often overlooked—and that’s the fascia. While it may seem like a minor detail, fascia cleaning plays a crucial role in protecting your home from weather damage, maintaining curb appeal, and preventing costly repairs.
At APE Cleaning, we provide professional roofline cleaning services that include fascia, soffit, gutter, and bargeboard cleaning. Our expert team ensures your home looks its best and stays in top condition all year round.
What Is the Fascia?
The fascia is the long, straight board that runs along the lower edge of your roof, typically where the gutters are attached. Its main job is to support the bottom row of roof tiles and provide a secure base for your guttering.
Over time, fascia boards can become stained by algae, mould, moss, dirt, and pollution. If left uncleaned, this build-up not only looks unsightly—it can also damage the material and shorten the lifespan of your roofline system.
Why Fascia Cleaning Matters
1. Improves the Appearance of Your Property
Dirty, green-streaked fascia boards can bring down the appearance of your entire house. Regular fascia cleaning restores the clean, bright finish and enhances your home's curb appeal—especially important if you’re planning to sell or host guests.
2. Prevents Long-Term Damage
Algae and grime can cause discolouration, rot, or surface erosion—especially on wooden fascia boards. Cleaning removes harmful build-up before it leads to structural issues or expensive replacements.
3. Supports Gutter Performance
Blocked or misaligned gutters can overflow and stain the fascia. By keeping your fascia and gutters clean, you protect both systems and ensure proper rainwater drainage away from your home.
4. Increases Property Value
A well-maintained roofline is a sign of good property upkeep. Regular fascia cleaning shows potential buyers or tenants that the home is cared for and free from hidden exterior issues.
What’s Included in a Fascia Cleaning Service?
At APE Cleaning, our fascia cleaning is part of a comprehensive roofline care package. Here's what you can expect:
-
Thorough Cleaning of Fascia, Soffits & Bargeboards
We remove algae, moss, mould, dirt, and other contaminants using specialist equipment and cleaning solutions tailored to your material—whether it’s uPVC, wood, or aluminium. -
Safe, Non-Abrasive Techniques
We use telescopic water-fed poles, soft washing methods, or ladders with hand-cleaning where needed—never damaging your paintwork or boards. -
Gutter Inspection & Optional Cleaning
If we notice gutter blockages, we can clean them during the same visit. This helps maintain the entire roofline in one go. -
Detailed Attention to Corners and Edges
We don’t cut corners—literally. We clean the often-neglected areas like internal joints, end caps, and trims for a consistently clean finish.
How Often Should Fascia Be Cleaned?
We recommend fascia cleaning at least once a year, although homes in areas with high rainfall, heavy tree cover, or urban pollution may benefit from more frequent care. Spring and autumn are the best times, as they help prepare your property for the extremes of summer heat or winter storms.
