Full exterior tidy ups for homes that need a reset

A standard tidy combines several of: pressure washing the driveway and paths, soft washing the front elevation, clearing the gutters, cleaning the windows inside and out, weeding paths and borders, cutting back overgrown shrubs, mowing and edging lawns, clearing debris and dumped items, and removing all the waste.

We scope each job to what the property actually needs. There's no point soft washing a wall that doesn't need it, and there's no point trying to clean windows on the same day you're pressure washing under them. We sequence the work so each task is done once, properly, in the right order.

If you're putting a property on the market, the difference between marketing photos of a clean, sharp exterior and one that's clearly been neglected is significant — both in viewing volume and offer price. A typical pre-sale tidy covers a driveway and path pressure wash, a soft wash to the front elevation, gutter and window clean, and a tidy to the front garden. Most pre-sale tidies on a standard semi are a one-to-two-day job.

End-of-tenancy exterior cleans are about returning the property to the condition described in the inventory: cleared gutters, clean paths and drive, weeded borders, removed waste, presentable bins and bin store, no abandoned planters or garden rubbish. We work with landlords and letting agents directly and can invoice on either party's instruction.

Holiday homes, second properties and houses returning from probate often need a single reset visit before they're usable or sellable again. We clear gutters, deal with whatever's grown over the windows and paths, pressure wash the patio and drive, and remove any wind-blown waste and fallen branches.

Exterior tidies are quoted from a short site visit or a set of photos. The big drivers are scope (how many of the individual services are included), current condition, waste volume, and time on site. We send a single itemised quote so you can see what's included and what each element costs.
