“I can’t believe the change to the patio and paths surrounding the house! It has been transformed from a dull and depressing monotone with all kinds of dirt and growths in a matter of hours. Rez was a pleasure to have around, very polite and professional.”

Local and accountable
Meet Rez, the person behind UP Exterior Cleaning
A Maidstone-based, fully insured exterior cleaning business serving homes, landlords and commercial properties across Kent and surrounding counties.
We are a Maidstone business, and the Medway towns are our other regular run. Both have their own housing, access and weather problems — here is what that means in practice.
Maidstone
From the Victorian terraces off Tonbridge Road to the block paved drives on the newer estates at Allington, Barming and Weavering, and the shaded roof slopes around Mote Park and the river. Kentish ragstone walls and steps are everywhere here and need controlled pressure, not a blast. Recent local work includes roof moss removal in Maidstone and Bearsted.
Chatham and Strood are built on hillsides, so access is the first thing we assess. Rochester has tight plots near the High Street where powered access replaces scaffolding, and damp estuary air keeps algae going on Gillingham terraces and render. Recent local work includes roof moss removal in Chatham and Rochester.
Not in either? Call 07865 728204 or send photographs — we cover Kent and the surrounding counties and will tell you straight away if we can get to you.
Areas we cover
Based in Maidstone, working across Kent and neighbouring counties
Kent is our core patch, and we regularly travel into East Sussex and the surrounding border towns. If your area is not listed, it is still worth asking.
Two questions we are asked every week, answered plainly — with the price guide and instant calculator alongside.
How much does gutter cleaning cost in Kent?
Gutter clearing starts at £69 for one side, £95 for a terraced house, £110 for a semi-detached or bungalow and £140 for a detached house, with £10 per additional run and £65 per side for fascia and soffit cleaning. Our calculator gives you the exact price in under a minute.
Most domestic driveways in Kent take between three hours and a full day. A single-car drive is usually a morning; a large block paved drive with heavy moss, weed treatment and kiln-dried re-sanding often takes the whole day. Access and how far the drive is from a water supply make the biggest difference.
There is no single figure — it depends on the surface, the size of the area, access and how heavy the soiling is. We quote free of charge from photographs or a site visit, and the price we give is the price you pay.
How much does pressure washing cost in Kent?
Most domestic pressure washing is priced by area rather than by the hour. Send a few photographs and rough measurements through the quote form and we will come back with a figure.
Which areas of Kent do you cover?
We are based around Maidstone and work across Kent, including Kings Hill, Medway and Rochester, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Ashford and Thanet. If you are just outside, ask — we often are.
What is softwashing?
Cleaning with a low pressure biocide treatment rather than water pressure. It suits render, painted surfaces and most roofs, where high pressure would risk damage.
Can you clean gutters without ladders?
In most cases, yes. Our gutter vacuum works from the ground using carbon poles and reaches up to approximately three storeys where access allows.
Can pressure washing damage paving?
It can if it is misused. Controlled pressure, the correct tip and a consistent working distance are what prevent it, and we test an area first on anything soft or aged.
Do I need to be home while you work?
Usually not. We need access to the areas being cleaned and an outside tap. Anything else we agree with you before the day.
Do you work with commercial properties?
Yes. We work for managing agents, retail sites, schools, developers and facilities teams across Kent, on both one-off and scheduled work.
How often should gutters be cleaned?
Once a year is right for most properties, though homes surrounded by overhanging trees may need it every six months. Leaving gutters too long between cleans is the single biggest cause of overflow damage to fascias, brickwork and foundations.
Do you guarantee your work, and what if it rains right after a driveway or patio clean?
Yes — if you are not happy with a finished job, get in touch and it will be put right. Rain shortly after a clean does not undo the work; surfaces are cleaned down to the material itself, not just rinsed, so normal weather afterwards does not affect the result.
Is softwashing safe for plants, pets and pond life?
The biocide treatments used are applied by trained operatives who protect nearby planting and cover or divert away from ponds and water features before starting. Always mention any pets, ponds or sensitive planting when booking so the right precautions are in place.
Are you insured?
Yes — UP Exterior Cleaning holds public liability insurance up to £5 million, with the certificate available on request and details shown on the commercial page.
How long does a typical driveway or patio clean take?
Most domestic driveways and patios are completed within a few hours, depending on size, soiling level and access. Larger or more heavily stained areas, or jobs combined with re-sanding, may take a full day.
Do you clean solar panels, and is it safe for the panels?
Yes — solar panels are cleaned using low-pressure, non-abrasive methods that will not damage the panel surface or void manufacturer warranties, restoring efficiency lost to dirt and bird mess buildup.
