How much does exterior house cleaning cost?

How much does each exterior cleaning job cost?

Most exterior cleaning jobs cost between £60 and £600, and a roof clean costs more because it is slow work at height. The table shows the Washmates starting price for each job and the typical UK price for most homes. Where a job has its own cost guide, the job’s name links to it.

Typical prices, checked October 2026. Washmates prices include VAT. The driveway and patio ranges include VAT and re-sanding block paving; other published averages often don’t say whether VAT is included.

These are averages, not quotes. Each job’s own guide breaks its price down by type of house or size, with real examples. Solar panels on the roof are cleaned as part of a roof clean, so the solar row is for panels on the ground or a clean booked on its own.

What changes the price of exterior cleaning?

The same few things move the price of every job, roughly in this order:

• Where you live. Prices tend to sit towards the top of these ranges in London and the South East, and towards the bottom in the North, the Midlands, Wales and Scotland.
• Size and height. A bigger roof, a longer run of gutters or a larger driveway takes longer. A three-storey house needs more access equipment than a bungalow.
• Access. Conservatories, extensions, narrow side passages and steep roofs slow the work. Some tall roofs need scaffolding, which adds to the price.
• Condition. Thick moss, weeds through the joints, oil stains or gutters packed with silt take longer than a light clean.
• Combining jobs. Several jobs on one visit share one set of access equipment and one trip, and some jobs come included with others (see the next section).

For a roof, labour at height is most of the price; see why roof cleaning is so expensive. For what a roof clean involves and how long it takes, see our guide to roof cleaning.

How much do you save by booking jobs together?

The biggest saving is already built in. Every Washmates roof clean includes clearing the gutters, cleaning the fascias and soffits, and cleaning any solar panels on the roof. Booked as separate jobs, the gutters, fascias, soffits and roof panels typically add £160 to £410 to a roof clean.

A driveway or patio can also be cleaned on the same visit as the roof. Tick each job on the quote form and we’ll price them together. See what it costs to clean a roof, gutters and solar panels together.

How often does each job need doing?

How often you pay matters as much as the price of one clean. As a rough guide:

A guide, not a rule. Shade, trees and damp make most jobs come round sooner.

Each cost guide explains what speeds growth up and what slows it down for that job.

What’s included with every Washmates job?

Whatever the job, every Washmates clean includes:

• A post-service clean-up, so the property is left tidy.
• Digital before and after photos of the work.

All our prices include VAT, and we’re insured for £2m public liability. A roof clean is booked with a £100 deposit, with the balance paid when the job’s finished. Any other job of £500 or more takes the same deposit; a smaller job is paid in full to book. You can read more about how we work and how we price.
