UPVC Cladding
The most common domestic cladding and the most easily damaged by high pressure, which can score the surface and leave it holding dirt faster afterwards. Soft washing lifts green growth and staining without touching the finish.

Exterior cleaning
Low pressure cleaning for UPVC, composite and metal cladding across Haywards Heath and Sussex.
Cladding rarely looks dirty close up. It goes dull, then green along the shaded elevations, and the change is slow enough that most people only notice when they see a photograph of the building or compare it with next door. What is sitting on the panels is almost always organic growth rather than dirt, which is why washing it down with a hose achieves so little.
The right method is soft washing. A cleaning solution does the work chemically at low pressure, instead of a lance doing it mechanically at high pressure. That matters more on cladding than on almost any other exterior surface, because the damage a pressure washer does here is not always obvious on the day.
Cladding is soft washed, not lanced. The solution lifts the growth and the panels are rinsed, so nothing is forced behind the boards or into the joints.
Julian looks at the elevation, the material and the access first. Cladding at height needs a different setup from a single storey run, and the quote reflects the actual building.
Biodegradable, pet safe and non acidic products, which matters here because the runoff goes straight onto whatever is planted below.
Organic growth comes off. Oxidation and UV fade on older UPVC do not, because that is the surface itself having changed rather than something sitting on it, and you will be told so before anything is booked.
The method is matched to the panel material:
The most common domestic cladding and the most easily damaged by high pressure, which can score the surface and leave it holding dirt faster afterwards. Soft washing lifts green growth and staining without touching the finish.
Composite boards hold algae in the grain and along the shadow lines between boards. Low pressure and the correct solution clear it without raising the surface or driving water into the board ends.
Common on commercial units and modern extensions. The powder coat is the thing being protected, so products are chosen to avoid stripping or dulling it.
Cladding usually meets render, fascias, soffits and guttering, and cleaning one and not the others leaves an obvious line. These are normally quoted together.
The process is straightforward. The elevation is assessed and the material identified, planting and anything sensitive below is protected, then a biocide based solution is applied at low pressure and left to work. The growth dies at the root rather than being knocked off the surface, which is what changes how quickly it returns. The panels are then rinsed down.
North facing elevations, anything under trees and anything tight against a hedge or fence line are always the worst, because they stay damp longest, and those are the ones worth doing first if a whole building is not in budget. What cleaning will not do is reverse age. Chalky, oxidised UPVC and sun faded panels will come up clean but they will not come up new, and if that is what a building needs then it is a replacement or an overpaint job rather than a cleaning one.




























Had 2 patios, side passage and drive powerwashed and treated. Patios and side passage were also re-grouted with cement. Julian's workmanship is outstanding. Quotes and Invoices are sent via email and clearly laid out. Can highly recommend Fresher Pressure. Thank you Julian! Julian keeps in touch regarding arrival times or changes.

Julian was absolutely phenomenal! Very punctual and efficient with both the inspection and work appointments. The entire process from initially reaching out to completing the work took 4 days. The transformation of our deck and patio was unbelievable. We will definitely be requesting Julian’s services again, and would highly recommend him for any outdoor cleaning work!
