Boosts Curb Appeal

Curb appeal is an important factor. The cleaner your building is, the more it stands out. When you allow a build-up of dirt on your structure, it will not only look filthy, but old.

Pressure washing can make the oldest of buildings look brand new.

Reduces Maintenance

The dirtier your building is, the more likely it will lead to decomposition and damage. Without regular cleaning, contaminants will become impossible to remove.

Commercial pressure washing will save you money in the long run.

Extends Your Roof’s Lifespan

Another reason why gutter cleaning is so important is because it extends the lifespan of your roof. During the winter, a clogged gutter will trap ice, adding weight and stress to your roof.

Furthermore, your clogged gutter will not drain water as it should. So, when the water freezes, it will move your shingles apart, giving space for leaks. Having a well-maintained gutter helps water and ice flow from your roof, eliminating the excess weight and risk of pooling.

Boosts Kerb Appeal

Dirty and clogged gutters are an eyesore. Whether you are planning to sell your home or not, clean gutters can boost your kerb appeal and shows that your home is well-looked after.

Save Time and Money

Power washing your home’s exterior walls, driveway, patio and more can save you time and money in the future. If dirt, mould and weeds are not cleaned off the surfaces, they can damage your property, so removing them reduces the need for expensive repairs or replacements.

When the render or brickwork of your home begins to look dull and less inviting than it used to, you might consider painting over it. Before you spend time and money on this solution, hiring professions to power wash the walls can brighten them up quickly and efficiently.

Power washing is also a great way to prepare exterior walls for painting. It will remove all the dirt, mould and more so the finished results look as good as possible.

Increase Curb Appeal & Saleability

Making your home look more attractive allows you to have pride in the aesthetics of the property. You can return from work or sit out in the garden and enjoy how clean the patio, driveway and exterior walls are due to being power washed.

If you are planning to sell your home in the future, the aesthetics of the exterior can be just as important as the interior. Making sure the driveway and outer walls are clean will attract buyers and increase its saleability.

Keep Pests Out

Pests such as rats and mice are encouraged to try to access your home and nest when there is a build-up of moss and lichen on the roof. This is because debris will collect in the guttering.

The debris is a great place for pests to stay and find food. When they run out of food or get cold, they will likely attempt to enter through the attic into the warm. These pests are not limited to rats and mice. Insects love the dampness of clogged gutters and will happily stay and breed there if the guttering is not cleared and fixed.

Save Money

By having your roof cleaned, you are saving money on future repairs and even replacements. Cracked and broken tiles will need replacing and the damage caused by water coming in through those gaps could be extensive.

Water damage issues could include peeling wallpaper, loose plaster and even flooding. These problems can be prevented by hiring experts to regularly check and clean your property, keeping your costs to a minimum.

Fire Safety

Your extraction system should always be clean and have efficient ventilation in cases of fires or smoke. Sludge that has built up in the system contains dirt and grease, which causes a fire risk.

Grease fires can cause severe damage to a property if the extractor is not working well and there isn’t good ventilation. If a ventilation hood is not cleaned, the sludge can drip and leak onto the surfaces, or it can clog and overheat, risking starting a fire itself.

Cleaning and maintenance will reduce the fire risk and prevent grease from building up in the extraction system. The same also applies to laundry ducts as the fibres collected after washes are highly flammable, so they need to be cleaned regularly.

Follow Current Regulations

In the UK, commercial kitchen owners must ensure that their extractor systems meet the requirements of cleanliness. Chefs and staff should be trained on cleaning the extractors at the end of a workday and professionals must be hired regularly for a deep clean.

If you own a commercial kitchen, you should keep a record of all the maintenance and cleaning done on the system. This information should then be made available to Environmental Health Officers (EHOs) and members of the local authority in the event of an inspection.

The Benefits of Deep Cleaning

Pests such as mice, rats and insects are attracted to decomposing food, so ensuring all areas of your premises are cleaned thoroughly is essential. Once these unwanted visitors believe there is sustenance available, it can be challenging to get rid of them.

Safety & Sanitation

Extraction systems remove grease, dust and vapours from your premises, but if they are not thoroughly cleared and washed, your property will be more at risk from severe fire damage. In addition, sludge can build up in the system and drip or leak onto surfaces, or clog causing overheating.

Regular kitchen deep cleans will ensure your premises follows the government’s health and safety regulations. With a high standard of food hygiene, effective ventilation and secure waste disposal, you will have done everything you can to create a safe and sanitary environment.

Reduces Maintenance Costs

A warehouse has lots of equipment that must be kept free of durst, dirt and debris. This ensures everything works efficiently. Allowing dirt and debris to build up can lead to the risk of a machine malfunction or breakdown, costing time and money for repairs.

Regular warehouse cleaning can protect your equipment and ensure your operation runs smoothly.

Boosts Your Company Image

Your company’s image is not only created by the product or service you deliver, but also by how you function internally. In the past, some businesses have been called out for poor warehouse working standards.

A good image will attract future investments and business deals and promote positivity.

Safety First

Now the hygienic factors of a clean oven are likely the first thing that springs to people’s minds, but there is also health and safety factors that apply to this regardless of whether its an oven used in catering businesses or simply a home oven.

The longer an oven goes without seeing a thorough clean, the more grease builds up dries out and has more grease build up causing layers. This build up is a massive fire hazard and can ignite, potentially causing a fire that can spread, ensuring your oven is professionally cleaned will reduce this build up, and as a result reduce potential hazards.

Tools for the Job

Going professional comes with a guarantee of experience, but it also sees the job in the hands of people with the equipment required for thoroughness. The average DIY clean will see the interior and shelves wiped down, but professionals are able to dissemble and reassemble parts, cleaning out grease and grime build up that won’t be apparent upon any initial look over.

This is not recommended to try at home to prevent injury or avoidable damage to your oven.
