The old town centre
Rochford's Market Square, West Street and North Street have older buildings, some timber-framed and many listed, with painted timber windows and older glass. Those need a gentler approach than a modern uPVC frame. We clean them by hand or with pure water and a soft brush, and we don't use scraper blades, strong solvents or pressure on old glass or paintwork.
If a building is listed, we only clean. We don't treat, seal or alter anything.
New homes on the edges
Rochford, Hawkwell and Ashingdon have all had new housing built on their edges in recent years. New homes come with plaster dust, mortar specks, silicone smears and protective film on the frames. Our after-builders clean floats the grit off with plenty of pure water before anything touches the glass.
Fields, the airport and dust
The district is mostly farmland, and London Southend Airport sits on the edge of the town. Homes beside open fields get dust on the glass and on solar panels at harvest and ploughing time, and homes near busy roads pick up a grey road film. Pure water lifts both without soap. Our solar panel clean is a one-off visit with no contract.
The River Roach
The Roach winds east from Rochford towards the coast, and homes near the river and the marshes get damp air and wind. That's where green streaks build up on north-facing frames and conservatory roofs, which our conservatory roof clean and frame deep clean deal with.
