The right method for each surface

Tested and chosen before we start, not after.

Open six days a week

Monday to Saturday, closed Sundays.

Nine services, split between the outside of a building and the inside of it. Outside: window cleaning, gutter cleaning, conservatory cleaning, and patios and driveways. Inside: deep cleaning, regular domestic cleaning, commercial cleaning, end of tenancy cleaning, and carpet cleaning. Every one of them is quoted on the property rather than read off a price list, because a three-storey villa in Edgbaston and a two-bed terrace in Stirchley are not the same job whatever you call the service.

The pages below set out what each service covers, how the work is actually done and how often it is worth having. If you are not sure which one you need, the comparisons further down this page set out the differences, and they include the cases where the cheaper service is the right one and the cases where you do not need us at all. If you want more than one thing doing, say so when you get in touch: the windows, the gutters and the conservatory roof on a single visit costs less than three separate call-outs, because it is the same van, the same water and the same setup already on your drive.

Which one do you need

Which service do you actually need?

The usual question before a booking is about the difference between two services that sound similar. Here is how we would answer each one if you rang up and asked.

Deep clean or end of tenancy clean?

Similar work, different standard, different purpose. A deep clean is for a property you are living in: room by room, with the kitchen and bathrooms taken back to the surface, and you decide what matters most. An end of tenancy clean is measured against somebody else’s checklist, the inventory, so it covers everything whether it looks dirty or not: inside the oven, behind the appliances, the tops of doors, inside every cupboard and drawer, the extractor filter, the window interiors. It also assumes an empty property, which is what makes it possible to do properly. If you are moving out and want the deposit back, book the end of tenancy clean and not the deep clean, because the two are judged differently. If you are staying put and the house needs a reset, the deep clean is the cheaper and more useful of the two.

Regular cleaning or a one-off deep clean?

They solve different problems, and one is not a budget version of the other. Regular cleaning, weekly, fortnightly or monthly in a fixed slot, holds a house at a level: surfaces, floors, bathrooms and kitchen to an agreed list. It will not undo years of build-up, because there is no time in a routine visit to do the oven and the grout as well as everything else. A deep clean does that once. If a house has not been properly cleaned in a long while, the sensible order is one deep clean and then a regular slot to hold it, and the regular visits stay short and cheap precisely because the deep clean happened first. If your house is basically fine and you are simply short of time, skip the deep clean and go straight to a regular slot.

Gutter clearing, or fascia and soffit washing?

Two jobs at the same height that have nothing else in common. Clearing is functional: getting the leaves, moss and silt out of the channel and proving the downpipes run, so water goes where it is supposed to instead of down your wall. Fascia and soffit washing is cosmetic: cleaning the white uPVC boards under the gutter and the outside face of the gutter itself, which go green and streaked with weathering. If water is coming over the front edge of your gutter, you need clearing, and washing will not help you at all. If it drains perfectly well and the boards just look grubby from the pavement, you only need the wash. They are worth doing together when you want both, because the access is already set up and the second one costs far less alongside the first.

Patio cleaning, or sealing as well?

Cleaning is the job. Sealing is optional and frequently not worth it. On block paving, what actually keeps weeds and moss down is cleaning followed by re-sanding the joints, and a sealant on top of that mostly slows regrowth and darkens the colour, which some people like and some regret. On porous natural stone a sealer genuinely does help against oil and staining. On tarmac it does nothing useful at all. Sealing also has to go onto a fully dried surface, which in Birmingham means coming back a day or two after the clean rather than doing both in one visit, and it needs redoing every few years. If nobody has mentioned any of that to you, be careful about what you are being sold. Our default advice: clean it, re-sand it, live with it for a season, and seal it only if the staining comes back.

Is it worth cleaning the carpet, or should I just replace it?

Cleaning is worth it when the fibre is intact and the problem is soil, dulling, odour or a stain. Hot water extraction brings back colour people had assumed was gone for good, and it deals with smells that sit at the base of the pile rather than masking them. What it cannot do is repair wear. If the pile is crushed flat down the traffic lanes, if the backing is showing through, if the carpet has been soaked by a leak and the underlay is contaminated, or if pet urine has gone through into the floorboards, cleaning buys you a fresher-looking worn carpet and nothing more. We will tell you which of those we think we are looking at before we start, and we would rather say replace this than take your money for a clean that disappoints you.

Conservatory roof, or just the frames and glass?

The roof is where the work is and where the difference shows. Green algae, moss packed into the roof bars and the gritty film that settles on the outside of the panels are what make a conservatory feel dim, and none of it can be reached from inside. Frames-only cleaning, the uPVC, the seals and the vertical glass, makes the room look tidier at eye level but does not change the light coming in. So the usual answer is roof and frames together, once or twice a year, and if the budget only stretches to one of them, do the roof. The exception is a conservatory whose polycarbonate is already crazed or whose seals are visibly failing, where cleaning will not restore clarity. We would tell you that at the quote rather than after the invoice.
