Before You List: The Exterior Cleaning Checklist That Sells Homes Faster

Thinking of selling?

Then the first thing buyers are going to see — is everything outside your front door.

Estate agents call it kerb appeal.
We call it stage one of the sale.

Because when your roof is mossy, your gutters are green, and your patio looks like it hasn’t seen sunlight since 2020, you’ve already lost ground — before the viewing even starts.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the exact cleaning checklist you should follow before listing your home — so you sell faster, higher, and without excuses.

1. Roof Cleaning — Because Buyers Look Up

Your roof covers 30–40% of your visible property.
If it’s covered in moss or algae, buyers start mentally deducting value — or worse, suspect unseen damage.

What we do:
✔️ Steam clean tiles
✔️ Hand-remove moss
✔️ Apply biocide to prevent regrowth
✔️ Clear all gutters after
✔️ Leave it spotless and photo-ready

2. Driveway & Patio — Your Welcome Mat

First impressions are made in the first five seconds.
If your driveway is stained, weedy, or uneven, it kills the premium perception instantly.

What we do:
✔️ Pressure clean block paving, concrete or resin
✔️ Re-sand and seal (optional but powerful)
✔️ Treat algae and black spots
✔️ Restore that “just-laid” look

3. Gutter & Fascia — Small Details, Big Impact

Overflowing gutters and tired white plastics = neglect.
And buyers notice.

What we do:
✔️ Clear internal guttering
✔️ Wash all fascia, soffits and downpipes
✔️ Brighten UPVC with purified water systems

4. Render Cleaning — Because Stains = Worry

Patchy render instantly signals “cost” to a buyer.
It might be harmless, but it looks like a problem.

What we do:
✔️ Softwash with biocide (no pressure damage)
✔️ Kill algae at the root
✔️ Even out tone for that freshly-built appearance

5. Windows & Conservatories — The Finishers

Nothing elevates a home like sparkling glass and clean frames.
We clean what most overlook — and buyers see everything.

What we do:
✔️ Pure water window cleaning
✔️ Frame, sill and surround detail
✔️ Full conservatory roof & panel cleaning
