External Cleaning for Autumn

How to prepare your commercial property for autumn.

The August bank holiday weekend came to an end, and autumn arrived, bringing the rain that had been absent all summer. While summer sunshine made outdoor spaces look bright, the wet weather of autumn can quickly expose grime, blocked gutters, and slippery surfaces. Keeping your business’s exterior clean is more than just about appearance; it’s also about safety, property maintenance, and preventing long-term damage.

ServiceMaster Clean Commercial Services offers a range of professional external cleaning services to help your business stay safe and look its best throughout the year.

In this blog post, the experts at ServiceMaster Clean Devon, provide a summary of how they can help.


Professional Window Cleaning

Clean windows create a positive impression on clients, visitors and staff. During the summer months, dirt, pollen, and occasional rain can leave streaks and build-up that make windows look grimy and unloved.

With a reach-and-wash window cleaning system, we clean windows from the ground, minimising disruption to your staff and visitors. We use purified water for a sparkling finish.

We’ll ensure that

  • Windows are streak-free and spotless.
  • Frames and sills are cleared of dirt and mould.

Regular professional window cleaning enhances the overall look of your premises. More importantly, it allows natural light to enter your workspace, creating a brighter, more inviting environment.


Pressure Washing

Autumn rain causes moss, algae, and dirt to build up on external surfaces, spoiling their appearance and making walkways slippery. Slippery paths present a safety hazard, while dirty surfaces can create a poor impression on visitors.

Our pressure washing services:

  • Effectively remove moss, algae, mud, and stubborn grime.
  • Protect surfaces by applying appropriate pressure and suitable cleaning techniques.
  • Restore the appearance of paved surfaces, entrances, and exterior walls.
  • Enhance the safety of your outdoor spaces for all users.

Regular pressure washing not only improves safety but also prolongs the lifespan of your surfaces by preventing long-term damage caused by dirt and biological growth.


Gutter Cleaning

Blocked gutters are a common issue in autumn, as falling leaves and rainwater build up and cause obstructions. Overflowing gutters can lead to water damage on walls, foundations, and landscaping, which may result in expensive repairs.

Using a high-level gutter vac combined with pressure washing, we:

  • Remove leaves, moss, and debris from gutters and downpipes to avoid blockages.
  • Allow drainage water to flow freely.
  • Help prevent dampness, leaks, and property damage.

Professional gutter maintenance is essential for keeping your building safe and dry, especially during the wet months.
