Kettering's Trusted Exterior Cleaning Team
Kettering might be a market town, but it sure has character. From Victorian and Edwardian terraces in the town centre, and inter-war semis around Wicksteed Park, to modern rendered estates through Barton Seagrave and towards Cranford Road, the town appeals to many. The mix of roof tiles, render types, and cladding varies from one area to another, and specific cleaning strategies are required. We know which method to use each time.
Just 5 minutes from Kettering town centre, we've carried out a 3-day commercial exterior clean at Partridges warehouse in Desborough. Using MEWP cherry picker access with full RAMS documentation, we've cleaned the metal cladding, roof sheeting, box gutters, and a full solar panel array. Every residential job in Kettering benefits from the same equipment, chemicals, and standards.
Our cleaning services cover roof cleaning, render washing, pressure washing, cladding, gutters, and solar panels - all with one team. You pay what we quote, without hidden fees or upfront deposits. We carry £5 million public liability insurance and our technicians working at height possess IPAF and CSCS certifications.
“Peter and his team were brilliant! He was very knowledgeable and answered any questions I had about the cleaning process thoroughly. I am amazed at the transformation of the roof and have already had people commenting on how lovely the roof looks.”
Roof Cleaning in Kettering
While older terraced houses in Kettering's centre have concrete tiles, the newer estates on the outskirts feature clay and interlocking tiles. Regardless of the roof type, they all accumulate moss, lichen, and algae over time - the situation is even more significant on north-facing slopes and around the tree-lined streets near Wicksteed Park. On lighter-coloured tiles, road pollution from the A14 corridor accelerates staining.
High-pressure jets will crack tiles and dislodge pointing, so we never use them. Instead, we use low-pressure soft washing to clean roofs. After manually scraping heavy moss, we soft-wash the roof with a biodegradable solution. This way, we kill organic growth at its roots. To inhibit regrowth for 3-5 years, we follow cleaning with a DDAC biocide treatment. The treatment continues to work 2-3 months after cleaning, improving the roof's appearance.
For a typical terraced house, roof cleaning in Kettering starts from £400, while for semi-detached properties, prices range from £500 to £650, and for detached homes vary from £650 to £900. The roof's size and moss coverage affect the pricing. Most roof cleaning jobs take us 1-2 days.
We Return for the Biocide
For best efficiency, the tiles must be dry before we apply the DDAC biocide. When the weather conditions aren't favourable, we will return another day to apply the treatment. We won't charge extra. The roof will stay cleaner for a long time.
Render Cleaning in Kettering
Many of the newer developments in Barton Seagrave and around Cranford Road have K-Rend and monocouche render - white, cream, and grey finishes that easily show marks. Traditional sand-and-cement render, painted masonry, and pebbledash are common for older areas of Kettering. While different, all these renders require cleaning with the correct method. Using the wrong pressure or chemical will damage the render.
To kill algae, red staining, and lichen at its roots without damaging the render surface, we use low-pressure soft washing with a biodegradable bleach-based solution. Not only do we get results in just one day, but the transformation is pretty impressive. After being streaked or green for years, houses start looking their original colour. To extend the cleaning interval to 3 to 5 years, we follow cleaning with a biocide treatment.
For a standard semi-detached house, render cleaning in Kettering starts from £350, while for larger detached properties, prices range from £500 to £800. Using the same team and methods that Kettering residents benefit from, we've carried out a council render cleaning programme across 27 properties in Northampton.
“Peter, Neil and the team take care and pride in the service they provide. We are very happy with the roof and render clean and it has made a massive difference to our home.”

Pressure Washing in Kettering
Driveways, patios, paths, block paving, steps, walls, and garage doors throughout Kettering benefit from our cleaning services. The new-build estates in Barton Seagrave and towards Burton Latimer typically feature block paving. 3 to 5 years after being laid, block paving will become covered with moss, weeds, and dirt in the joints. For older properties in the town centre with a mix of flagstone, concrete, tarmac, and Indian stone, we employ pressure washing.
For even coverage, we clean large flat areas with rotary surface cleaners - unlike single lance, there will be no stripe marks. To remove oil and grease stains from tarmac and concrete, we use hot water pressure washing. We follow block paving cleaning with re-sanding the joints with kiln-dried sand. Upon request, we can apply a sealant to extend the lifespan of the results.
For a small patio, driveway and patio cleaning in Kettering starts from £150. Full driveways typically cost from £250 to £400. The size and surface material affect the pricing. Typically, we complete the cleaning in half a day to a full day.
Cladding Cleaning in Kettering
We ensure residential cladding and siding cleaning for UPVC, composite, aluminium, and timber panels. Composite or UPVC cladding on upper floors and gable ends is common for many newer homes in Kettering. They all collect algae and atmospheric pollution - especially on north-facing elevations and around tree cover. We adjust the cleaning method to each surface: soft wash for composites and UPVC, controlled pressure for metal panels, and gentle cleaning for timber.
We have the expertise and tools to complete larger-scale cladding jobs. For our Partridges warehouse project in Desborough, we've cleaned the full metal cladding exterior using a MEWP cherry picker - for multi-storey residential properties where it's not safe or practical to access from ladders, we use the same equipment.
Residential cladding cleaning in Kettering starts from £300. Our most requested package is the one that combines roof and cladding cleaning - we clean both surfaces in one visit. We save time on setting up access, and clients save money on access setup costs. Check our commercial exterior cleaning in Kettering for details on our commercial and industrial cladding work nearby.
Gutter Cleaning in Kettering
Many homeowners don't fully understand the damage that clogged gutters can cause. Cracked render, damp walls, rotted fascia boards, and frost-damaged brickwork - all root in the same problem: blocked gutters. In autumn, leaves fill gutters on tree-lined streets around Wicksteed Park and the older terraces in the town centre.
For most residential jobs, we don't lean any ladders against the fascia, but use gutter vacuum systems with extendable poles for ground-level access instead. We will show you what we have cleared and provide you with before and after camera footage. For safe access on multi-storey properties, we use scaffold towers.
For a standard semi-detached house, gutter cleaning in Kettering starts from £80, while for detached properties, the costs range from £120 to £180. The price depends on size and access. Gutter cleaning should be done once a year and even twice if the property has overhanging trees.
Fascia and Soffit Cleaning
Within the same visit, we can clean fascia boards, soffits, and bargeboards. We don't use abrasive pads or high-pressure jets to spruce up UPVC; instead, we use soft brushes and biodegradable solutions. Standalone fascia cleaning costs start at £120.

Solar Panel Cleaning in Kettering
Many of the Kettering's newer estates have solar panels - especially those in Barton Seagrave and around the A14 corridor. When panels are dirty, their output can decrease by 15-30%. After our cleaning, a client reported 30% increase in generation - they've measured across two days with the same weather conditions.
We don't use chemicals or detergents, but pure water fed-pole systems with soft brushes - there's no risk of damaging panel coatings. Since pure water doesn't contain dissolved minerals, it doesn't leave residues or streaks. We don't use scaffolding for ground-floor or single-storey arrays; we will reach from the ground with our telescopic poles.
For a small array, solar panel cleaning in Kettering starts from £80. A typical residential installation (10 to 16 panels) ranges from £150 to £250. At Partridges in Desborough, a 3-day exterior clean also covered cleaning a large commercial solar array - the same pure water system gives the same results, no matter the size of the job. For optimal solar panel performance, cleaning should be done every 12 to 18 months.

“Great customer service and results. Pete explained the process in detail and did a fantastic job cleaning the roof. He used a chemical treatment method - which I prefer as pressure washers can damage roof tiles. A year later, the roof looks like new.”
“Peter and his team did a fantastic job treating our roof, cleaning our driveway, gutters and patio. They gave great recommendations and advice and got the job done quickly.”
“Peter and his colleague came to treat my natural slate roof approx 3/4 years ago. Peter said the results would take a month or 2 to work. The results are amazing as you'll see from attached photos.”
“Peter put together a comprehensive and detailed quote so that we knew exactly what we were getting. He then delivered on everything he said he would. The results speak for themselves.”
