What are the benefits of professional exterior cleaning?

Professional exterior cleaning offers several benefits, including enhancing curb appeal, preventing damage caused by dirt and grime, extending the lifespan of surfaces, and maintaining a healthier living environment by removing mold and mildew. Additionally, it can increase property value and save money in the long run by preventing the need for costly repairs or replacements.

What cleaning methods and equipment do you use to ensure the best results in exterior cleaning?

Professional exterior cleaning involves a combination of methods and specialized equipment. Our exterior cleaning methods here at Cornerstone include soft washing, pressure washing, and chemical treatments. Pressure washing is effective for hard surfaces like concrete, while soft washing uses low-pressure and specialized cleaning solutions for more delicate surfaces such as roof tiles.

Our state-of-the-art equipment includes pressure washers, soft wash systems, and surface cleaners. The choice of equipment depends on the specific surface and the type and extent of cleaning needed. We also use eco-friendly cleaning solutions to ensure effective and safe results.

Ultimately, the method and equipment used will be tailored to the unique needs of the exterior surface being cleaned, to achieve optimal results.

What method do you use to carry out a roof clean?

Our professional roof cleaning service involves a method known as soft washing. Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with specialised cleaning solutions to remove algae, moss, lichen, and other organic contaminants from the roof. This method is gentler than high-pressure washing, which could potentially damage roofing materials.

We begin the soft washing process by carrying out a low-pressure, high heat wash to rinse away all contaminants. We then apply a specialised cleaning solution that breaks down and kills any organic growth on the roof. Soft washing is effective for various roofing materials, including asphalt shingles, tiles, and metal roofs.

The second method we specialise in is manual scraping, followed by a special chemical treatment. This process involves the physical removal of debris, moss, algae, or other contaminants from the roof surface using specially designed telescopic poles. This method is often employed when dealing with stubborn or thick layers of growth that may not be easily addressed by other cleaning methods alone.

It's important to note that attempting to clean a roof without proper knowledge and equipment can lead to damage. Hiring experienced professionals will ensure a safe and effective roof cleaning process.
