Comparisons
Straight comparisons, without the sales pitch
Some decisions genuinely go either way, and pretending otherwise is how people end up paying for the wrong thing. Each of these pages puts two options side by side and says where each one is the right answer, including the cases where the answer is to do nothing yet.
This or that
- Softwash or pressure washing: which your surface needs
Owner comparing the two methods before booking.
- DIY or professional: an honest comparison
Owner considering hiring a machine instead of a contractor.
- Roof cleaning or roof replacement?
Owner deciding whether a tired roof needs cleaning or renewing.
- Is sealing a driveway worth the money?
Owner weighing up sealing after a clean.
- Gutter vacuum or ladder clearing?
Owner comparing gutter clearing methods.
- How to choose an exterior cleaning company
Owner vetting contractors before booking.
Where we will talk you out of work
- A roof that needs a roofer gets referred rather than cleaned, because cleaning a failing covering does not buy anything.
- A wall due to be repainted within weeks may only need a preparation wash, not a full treatment.
- Sealing is worth it on some paving and pointless on other paving, and it depends on the material, not on the sale.
