Where photographs are agreed, they can document the visible condition of the surface and the completed work. Reviews are on Google, Facebook and Checkatrade — a mix that makes it harder to game the numbers. We're happy to work weekends when the surface actually wants it, especially for driveway seals. Cameras go on the vac pole as standard so you see the gutter before and after, not just take it on trust. K-Rend, Weber and silicone-render manufacturers all specify softwash as the correct maintenance method. The single biggest cause of re-growth is skipping the biocide dwell, and we don't skip it. We prefer to under-promise on timing and over-deliver on finish, rather than the other way round. The kit gets pressure-tested weekly, which is boring but it's why we haven't had a rig failure on a customer job. We book the last Friday of each month as a catch-up day, so short-notice fixes rarely wait more than a fortnight. Roof re-bed work gets its own dedicated day — nobody wants a wet roof left open overnight. Downpipe inlets are water-tested before we leave, not just visually checked. The rig gets rinsed after every job so cross-contamination between customers isn't ever a factor. Copper sulphate never touches a roof we clean — it stains tiles and kills nothing worth killing. Winter drive seals are cured under a tarp and a heater for the last two hours so overnight rain doesn't spoil the finish. The photo pack we send at completion doubles as a maintenance record for your property file.

What Yeoford owners ring us about

  • Overflowing front gutters on every heavy shower - typical of rural village properties along local lanes off A30 - across natural slate - something we quote weekly in this postcode.
  • Conservatory box gutters holding standing water - frequent on stone cottages and farmhouses - on stone cottages stock - the reason we keep this round on a tight schedule.
  • Hopper heads packed with leaves from mature trees across Yeoford - at exposed exposure - a maintenance item that gets cheaper the earlier you catch it.
  • Drip-line erosion in borders below the worst-blocked sections in Yeoford - in the West Devon Borough Council patch - handled from a pole not a ladder wherever we can.
  • Outlet boxes overflowing during Yeoford's heaviest exposed winter showers - 24 miles from PL3 - a job where getting the order right matters more than the products.
