Fascia & Soffit Cleaning Cost UK (2026)

The quick answer: Fascia and soffit cleaning in the UK costs around £50-90 for a small bungalow, £90-150 for a typical 2-3 bed semi, £150-250 for a detached house, and £250-350+ for larger or multi-storey homes in 2026. It is nearly always quoted together with your gutters because the crew is already at roofline with the same kit. For a fixed price on your roofline, call 01737 652 515.

This guide breaks down exactly what you should expect to pay to clean the white uPVC boards along your roofline, why the job is bundled with gutter cleaning, how per-metre pricing works, and what a fair Surrey quote should include. I'm Patrick — two of us in one van out of Redhill — and I'd rather you knew the real numbers before you pick up the phone. For the full service, see our fascia, soffit & cladding cleaning page.

How Much Does Fascia & Soffit Cleaning Cost by Property?

The single biggest factor in the price is the size and height of your house. More roofline means more linear metres to clean, and extra storeys mean longer poles and slower, more careful work. Here is the typical 2026 picture, based on published UK cost guides^[1][2].

These are realistic UK 2026 bands. A combined gutter + fascia + soffit package commonly lands at £150-300 for most family homes^[1]. Cladding or facade soft-washing is a bigger job and typically starts around £300 per elevation^[4].

Why It's Nearly Always Priced WITH Gutters

Here's the honest mechanics of it. The expensive part of a roofline job isn't the cleaning — it's getting the kit set up safely at height. Once a crew has the water-fed pole out, the pure-water tank running and the access sorted, cleaning the gutter exterior, the fascias and the soffits at the same time adds very little time.

That's why a separate fascia-only visit feels poor value, and why almost every honest quote bundles the roofline together. You pay for one call-out instead of two. A freshly cleared gutter sitting above a streaky black fascia just looks half-finished anyway. If you only want the gutters done now, our gutter cleaning service covers that — but ask about the fascia add-on while we're up there, because it's the cheapest it'll ever be.

How Per-Metre Pricing Works

Some firms quote partial runs by the linear metre rather than a whole-property price. Typical rates sit at roughly £3-6 per metre across UK cost guides, and one Surrey company lists gutter exterior, fascia, soffit and cladding cleaning at £5.00 per metre^[3].

Per-metre pricing is most useful when you only want one elevation done, or a short run repaired after building work. For a whole house, a fixed property price is almost always simpler and cheaper, because you're not paying a per-metre premium on the minimum call-out. If a quote is purely per-metre, ask for the all-in total so you can compare it like for like.

What Pushes the Price Up?

• Storeys and height: A three-storey townhouse needs longer poles and slower work than a bungalow, so it sits at the top of the band.
• Awkward rooflines: Conservatories, lean-to roofs, deep overhangs and tight side returns all slow the job down.
• Access equipment: Where ground-level reach-and-wash genuinely can't reach, a scaffold tower or cherry picker adds roughly £100-200. A good cleaner flags this before starting, never after.
• Cladding soft-wash: uPVC, composite or timber-look cladding is a separate soft-wash job, typically from ~£300 per elevation^[4].
• Condition: Boards left 3+ years with thick black tide-lines and lichen take more passes and sometimes a biocide dwell time, nudging the price up.

South-East vs National Rates

South-East rates run a little higher than the UK average of roughly £120-280 for a combined gutter, fascia and soffit job^[1]. A Surrey and Gatwick patch — Redhill, Reigate, Crawley, Horley — sits in the upper-middle of the bands rather than the bottom. It's not London-premium territory, but it's not the cheapest region either. The flip side is that traffic film off the M23/M25 and Gatwick, plus tree cover off Surrey's oak- and lime-lined roads, greys boards faster here, so the clean earns its keep.

Cleaning vs Replacing Fascias

This is the part worth being clear about. People sometimes assume discoloured fascias need replacing. They almost never do. Replacing fascias and soffits on a typical house runs well into four figures once you factor in materials, scaffolding and labour. A clean restores discoloured uPVC to near-white for £90-250 in most cases.

The only time replacement makes sense is if the boards are physically rotten, cracked or broken — and if that's what we find, I'll tell you straight and point you to a roofer rather than pretend a wash will fix it. For the vast majority of "my fascias have gone grey and streaky" jobs, cleaning is the value play, not replacement.

What a Fair Surrey Quote Should Include

Before you book anyone, check the quote covers all of this:

• Fascias and soffits (the underside boards), not just the front face
• The gutter exterior cleaned at the same time
• A soft-wash or water-fed-pole method — never a high-pressure washer on uPVC, which cracks panels and forces water behind the boards
• No hidden access fees unless an awkward roofline genuinely needs a scaffold, flagged up front
• Optional anti-green biocide priced clearly as an extra, not slipped in
• Public liability insurance (work at height over driveways, windows and neighbouring property)

If a "fascia clean" quote mentions a pressure washer on your uPVC, that's a red flag — our guide on getting rid of black streaks on fascias explains exactly why that's the wrong tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does fascia and soffit cleaning cost in the UK?

Around £50-90 for a small bungalow, £90-150 for a typical 2-3 bed semi, £150-250 for a detached house, and £250-350+ for larger or multi-storey homes in 2026. It's almost always quoted with your gutters because the crew is already at roofline with the same access kit.

Why is fascia cleaning usually quoted with gutters?

Because it's one access setup. A water-fed-pole crew can clear the gutters, wash the gutter exterior and clean the fascias and soffits in a single visit, so a combined package commonly lands at £150-300 rather than the cost of two separate jobs.

Is fascia cleaning charged per metre?

Some firms price partial runs at roughly £3-6 per metre, and one Surrey company lists gutter, fascia, soffit and cladding cleaning at £5 per metre. Most whole-house domestic jobs are quoted as a fixed property price instead.

Is it cheaper to clean fascias than replace them?

Yes, by a wide margin. Replacement runs into four figures; a clean restores discoloured uPVC to near-white for £90-250 in most cases. Unless the boards are physically rotten or broken, cleaning is the value play.

Does fascia cleaning cost more in Surrey?

Slightly. South-East rates run higher than the national average of about £120-280 for a combined job, so a Surrey and Gatwick patch sits toward the upper-middle of the bands.
