Autumn Exterior Cleaning Guide

As the leaves start to fall and the weather cools down, autumn is the perfect time to give your home’s exterior a thorough clean. Preparing your property now can help prevent damage and keep it looking its best through the wetter months ahead. Here’s your autumn exterior cleaning checklist from the team at Chemwash Wellington.

Wash Away Summer Build-Up

Over the summer, your home collects dust, pollen, and grime. If left unchecked during Autumn’s damp conditions, this can lead to mould and mildew buildup. A professional low-pressure soft wash removes these contaminants, keeping your surfaces clean extending the life of your paint and external cladding and preventing long-term damage.

Clear Gutters & Drains

Falling leaves and debris can quickly clog your gutters and downpipes, leading to water overflow and potential ground and sidewall damage. Clearing them out now helps protect your roof, walls, and foundation from leaks and water stains.

Refresh Paths, Decks & Driveways

Autumn’s cooler, wetter weather creates the perfect conditions for mould, moss, and lichen to thrive, especially on decks, driveways, and shaded walls. Our environmentally friendly treatments help reduce health and safety risks by stopping growth before it becomes a concern, keeping your property safe and slip-free.

Prepare for Winter Weather

Getting your home cleaned in autumn means fewer maintenance issues in winter. Removing grime from your walls, fences, and outdoor areas now helps them withstand rain, wind, and colder temperatures.

Extend the Life of Your Roof

Over time, dirt, moss, and lichen accumulate on your roof, trapping moisture and increasing the risk of leaks and structural damage. A professional roof cleaning eliminates these harmful contaminants, preventing costly repairs and preserving the integrity of your home. Regular maintenance not only extends the lifespan of your roofing materials but also ensures your home stays dry, clean, and well-protected.
