New-town terraces and big panes
Basildon was designated a new town in 1949, and whole neighbourhoods such as Lee Chapel, Kingswood, Vange and Barstable were built in the decades that followed. Many of those terraces have wide picture windows, long runs of white uPVC and shallow porch roofs. Wide frames show every grey streak, and the porch roofs and sills catch the dirt that drips off them.
A frames, sills and fascia deep clean takes the whole front back to white in one visit: frames, sills, the fascia board, the gutter face and the soffits under the eaves. It's a good job before you sell, or after years of only having the glass done.
Pitsea, Laindon and the newer homes
Pitsea and Laindon have both seen new housing and regeneration in recent years, and new homes start life covered in plaster dust, mortar specks and protective film. Wiping that off dry with a cloth is how new glass gets scratched. Our after-builders clean floats the grit off with plenty of purified water first, then deals with the specks one at a time.
Noak Bridge
Noak Bridge, on the north-west edge of the town, was built as a village-style estate with its own conservation area, and its homes have a mix of small-paned windows, dormers and timber details. We clean those by hand where the panes are small, and we don't use scraper blades or strong solvents on anything older or painted.
Gardens, trees and conservatories
Basildon has a lot of green space, from Gloucester Park to Wat Tyler Country Park beside Pitsea. Back gardens near trees mean sap, leaves and bird mess on conservatory roofs, and the green film grows fastest where the roof stays shaded. Our conservatory roof clean is done from the ground with soft brushes and pure water, never by standing on the panels.
Access on Basildon estates
A lot of Basildon homes are in terraces with rear footpaths and shared alleys rather than side gates. If our only way to the back is through a locked rear gate or a garage, tell us on the form. For outside work you don't need to be in, as long as we can reach the back garden.
