The North East's Most
Intense Roofline Valet.
Don't just wash your roofline; restore it. We chemically lift years of North Sea salt, industrial carbon, and algae from your fascias and soffits, returning your home to its original factory-white brilliance without a single ladder.

Framing Your Property
With Brilliant White.
Windows may be the soul of a property, but your fascias, soffits, and bargeboards are the framework that defines it. They provide the crisp, clean lines that separate your brickwork from your roofline. However, over years of exposure to the relentless North East weather, brilliant factory-white UPVC slowly absorbs a punishing cocktail of organic grease, green algae, and carbon fallout.
Properties in Stockton-on-Tees, Middlesbrough, and Yarm face a distinct environmental challenge. The prevailing winds from the North Sea carry corrosive salt moisture, while the busy A19 and A66 corridors generate a fine, oily traffic film. This is not just surface dust that can be wiped away with a wet rag. Left untreated, this environmental film "bakes" into the micro-pores of the plastic framework under the summer sun.
At Operation Clean, we provide more than a simple wash; we provide a complete structural restoration. Our professional-grade solutions break down the chemical bond of the dirt, revealing the brilliant, high-gloss white plastic that has been hidden for years, saving you thousands of pounds in premature replacement costs.
Areas We Provide This Service
The Anatomy of Your Roofline
To properly maintain a property, it is essential to understand its components. Our comprehensive restoration covers every inch of your upper UPVC.
The Fascia Boards
The outward-facing horizontal boards that hold your rain gutters. These suffer the most direct assault from UV-baked traffic film, rain-splattered mud, and green algae staining. Left uncleaned, the surface becomes porous, allowing dirt to "tattoo" the plastic. We restore them to a high-gloss, premium finish that resists new dirt bonding.
The Soffits
The boards tucked underneath, bridging the gap to your brickwork. Being permanently shaded and prone to moisture traps, they attract spider webs, damp-induced black mould, and dark condensation spotting. Our specialized brushes deep-clean these boards, brightening the entire underside of your roof's eaves and reflecting light back into your upstairs windows.
Exterior Gutter Casing
Washing the fascias without addressing the gutters is a half-job. We meticulously scrub the entire exterior casing of your rain gutters, removing the thick green "bearding" of algae that often grows underneath the brackets and joints, ensuring a seamless, blindingly white line across the entire property.
Bargeboards & Apexes
The angled boards on the towering gable ends of your house are the hardest to reach. Utilising high-reach pure water poles, we safely restore these towering apexes without the need for high-risk ladder work or expensive scaffolding, ensuring even the highest points of your home are factory-clean.
Micro-Pore Analysis
Dirt builds in the micro-pores of the plastic. Ordinary scrubbing smears grease deeper, while our surfactants reverse the static bond.
Why UPVC Degrades Over Time
Why does UPVC go grey and green in the first place? Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride (UPVC) is highly durable, but it is not entirely smooth. On a microscopic level, the surface is filled with tiny pores. Over time, these pores expand slightly due to UV exposure, a process known as photo-degradation.
When traffic film from Teesside’s industrial sector lands on your fascias, it carries a slight static charge, causing it to bond to the plastic. When rainwater hits this dirt, it acts as a catalyst, allowing green algae spores to take root within the pores. If a homeowner attempts to clean this with household detergents, they often simply smear the grease deeper into the microscopic pits.
Our scientific approach relies on chemical lifting rather than abrasive scrubbing. We utilise intelligent, bio-degradable surfactants that reverse the static bond, emulsifying the grease so it can be safely flushed away. This restores the high-gloss factory finish, creating a smooth surface that repels new pollutants for much longer than a standard wash.
Deep Attic Airflow
While fascias are about aesthetics, soffits are about structural survival. Your soffits contain the "lungs" of your house—continuous ventilation strips or circular grilles designed to allow a constant flow of fresh air into your loft cavity. In the North East, where we heavily insulate our attics, trapped warm air must be allowed to escape.
If the soffit vents are blocked by years of spider webs, compacted dust, and insect nests, that warm air cannot escape. This creates the "stack effect" in reverse; the moisture hits the cold roof tiles and turns into condensation. This trapped moisture is the primary cause of timber roof rot and ruined insulation across regional properties.
During an Operation Clean restoration, we perform a Deep Vent Flush. We blast deionised water through the intricate grilles of your soffits to ensure perfect airflow is restored to your attic space. We don't just wash the flat plastic; we ensure your home can breathe, protecting it from internal damp and costly structural timber decay.

Our Precision Process
From chemical pre-treatment to final hand-finished detailing, our process ensures a factory-fresh result every time.
The Bio-Degradable Pre-Soak
We apply a specialised, eco-friendly UPVC cleaning agent. This pre-soak actively dwells on the surface, breaking the chemical bond of the dirt and emulsifying carbon fallout without high-pressure blasting.
Soft-Brush Agitation
We deploy high-reach carbon fibre poles with ultra-soft, dual-trim brush heads. Repetitive agitation works the agent into the micro-pores, lifting dirt without scratching the factory finish.
Deep Joint & Bracket Flushing
We specifically target joints and brackets with a high-volume deionised water stream, flushing out hidden debris and residual cleaning agents that standard brushing leaves behind.
The Pure Water Final Rinse
We flood the entire roofline with 000 PPM pure water. Because the water is entirely mineral-free, it leaves absolutely no chalky spotting or watermarks as it naturally evaporates.
Tailored Roofline Restoration
The dirt on your fascias is chemically unique to your area. We adjust our restoration compounds to match your local North East environment.
Middlesbrough & Norton
"Urban environments near heavy industry suffer from "Industrial Carbon Fallout." The UPVC turns a distinct grey/black. We utilise heavier degreasing agents here to strip the oily soot before the pure water rinse."
Yarm & Eaglescliffe
"Surrounded by mature trees and the River Tees, homes here suffer from aggressive green algae and black lichen spotting. Our focus here is on bio-cleansers that kill the organic spores to prevent rapid regrowth."
Wynyard & Wolviston
"High-end executive estates with complex, multi-tiered rooflines and towering apexes. Our lightweight, 4-storey reach-and-wash systems ensure these massive properties are valeted safely from the ground."
Stockton & Ingleby Barwick
"Vast residential estates where standard traffic film and general weathering dull the plastics. Our 4-step restoration brings these homes back to life, dramatically boosting kerb appeal instantly."
