Why choose MC6

Choose the best first time. Save £££s.

Exterior cleaning is one of the few trades where the cheapest quote can be the most expensive decision you make. Here is what the difference looks like — and what we do about it.

The financial risk

What bad workmanship actually costs

Most exterior damage we are called to look at was caused by a previous clean. These are the four we see most often.
  • Roof tiles damaged by the wrong cleaning method: pressure washed from a ladderPressure washed from a ladder

    Roof tiles

    Stripped tile surfaces, slipped tiles, water driven under the lap and moss back within a year.

    The bill: A roofer's invoice — and the roof still needs cleaning properly.

  • Render damaged by the wrong cleaning method: jet washed to remove algaeJet washed to remove algae

    Render

    Blown patches, permanent stripes in the colour coat and water trapped behind the render.

    The bill: Re-rendering a whole elevation to make it match again.

  • Decking & fences damaged by the wrong cleaning method: turbo nozzle across the grainTurbo nozzle across the grain

    Decking & fences

    Furred, splintered boards that soak up water and rot faster than before.

    The bill: Replacement boards or a whole new deck years early.

  • Windows & solar panels damaged by the wrong cleaning method: detergents and tap waterDetergents and tap water

    Windows & solar panels

    Streaks, mineral spotting, residue that attracts dirt and — on panels — a voided warranty.

    The bill: Lost generation and a warranty claim refused.

A fair test

Six questions to ask anyone quoting on your property

Ask us, ask the other quotes. The answers tell you more than the price does.
Our answers

    What method will you use on my roof, render or decking — and why that one?

    Are you insured, and can I see the certificate before you start?

  3. 3

    What training or accreditation do you hold for exterior cleaning?

  4. 4

    Will the price change on the day, and what would cause it to?

  5. 5

    What happens to the moss and debris — where does it go?

  6. 6

    Will I receive photographs of the work when it is finished?
