Keeping a holiday let looking right between bookings
Guests compare what they see on arrival with the photographs that sold them the booking. On the coast, the gap between the two widens quickly, because salt film on glass and growth on shaded walls both build faster than inland.

Monday to Saturday, 8am – 7pm
- Full exterior before the season, lighter glass visits during it
- Watch shaded north elevations rather than the sunny ones
- Book onto changeover mornings where possible
What coastal exposure does between seasons
Salt-laden air leaves a haze on glass that returns within weeks rather than months, and it settles on frames and rails as well. Sheltered corners of render, particularly north-facing ones behind planting, hold moisture and green up while the sunny elevations stay clean.
Booking around changeover days
Exterior work does not need the property empty, but it does need windows shut and outdoor furniture moved. Fitting the visit to a changeover morning avoids disturbing a stay and means the property is at its best for the next arrival.
What to do at the start and end of a season
A fuller clean before the season starts, including hard surfaces and any decking, then lighter glass visits through the busy months tends to hold the look without a large mid-season job.
Common questions
- Do you need me to be there?
- No. Exterior work does not need anyone on site as long as gates are unlocked and parking is possible.
- Will you send photos after each visit?
- Yes, that is standard for owners who are not local to the property.
- Can you clean outdoor furniture and decking?
- Decking and hard surfaces yes, with the pressure set for the material. Furniture is done as part of the surface wash where it can be moved safely.
