Septic-served properties make it worth thinking about runoff before any cleaning starts. Quotes around Kelly Bray usually go out the same evening. Exposure here is exposed - 13.6 miles from our PL3 base makes turnaround short.

If we spot something on the visit that's cheaper for you to sort a different way, we'll say so. The single most common feedback we get is that the invoice matches the quote exactly. There's no minimum charge to look at a job — we'll walk around it, quote it and leave the ball with you. We're happy to work weekends when the surface actually wants it, especially for driveway seals. Small jobs get done in the gap between larger jobs, which is why one-off cleans aren't more expensive here. 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. Every job carries a written scope, a written price and a written finish standard — no ambiguity. Detergent choice depends on substrate, not on habit — we don't run one product for everything. First-visit customers get a written surface report at no cost, whether they book more work or not. Communication defaults to WhatsApp because photo threads keep quotes and outcomes in one place. There's a fixed weekend rate for genuine emergencies — no gouging, published on the enquiry email. Small drone footage is available on request for high-level roof inspections without ladder time. Traffic-film patches on driveways get a hot detergent pre-wash before any surface cleaner touches them. Conservatory glass roofs get a two-pass rinse because the profile holds pooled water otherwise.

What Kelly Bray owners ring us about

  • Weeds firing up through joints by April on rural village properties - on granite and painted render - a factor we build into every softwash quote here.
  • Stripey patches from previous DIY washes - Victorian terraces and modern bungalows owners ring us most - across Cornish slate - why photos beat phone tag for this kind of work.
  • Slippery flagstones around the rear of the house on rural village layouts - on Victorian terraces stock - typically half a day, sometimes a full day if access is tight.
  • Pattern-imprinted concrete dulled by UV and surface algae on rural village layouts - at exposed exposure - a job where getting the order right matters more than the products.
  • Garage threshold paving rocking from sand wash-out across rural village stock - in the Cornwall Council patch - the sort of clean that pays for itself in kerb appeal.
