Old Braintree and Bocking
Braintree and Bocking have a long history as a market and cloth town, and Courtaulds' silk and textile mills shaped much of the town in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The centre and Bocking End have older brick and timber-framed buildings, sash windows and painted timber. We clean old glass by hand or with pure water and a soft brush, with no scraper blades on older glass.
Great Notley Garden Village
Great Notley was built as a garden village on the south-west side of the town from the 1990s onwards, with its own country park. A lot of those homes now have conservatories, uPVC fascias and solar panels that have had twenty-odd years of weather. That's when the green film on conservatory roofs and the grey streaks on fascias really start to show.
Our conservatory roof clean and frames, sills and fascia deep clean are both one visit, quoted from a photo.
Farmland all round
Braintree is surrounded by arable farmland, and homes on the edges of the town see dust on glass and solar panels around harvest and ploughing. Dust on panels usually rinses off in rain on a steep roof, but on shallow roofs it builds up along the bottom edge. Our solar panel clean uses pure water and a soft brush.
The Flitch Way and trees
The Flitch Way, the old railway line to Bishop's Stortford, runs out of the town as a tree-lined path. Homes that back onto it, or onto other mature trees, get sap and leaf mess on conservatories and roof lanterns. Book a roof clean after the leaves are down and it stays clean through the winter.
