Exterior Cleaning Advice, Tips & Project Updates
Based in Otley, PureGem provides responsive, professional exterior restoration across Leeds, Harrogate, Bradford, Ilkley, and surrounding towns throughout West and North Yorkshire. We provide same-week survey visits and fast, written estimates.
Key coverage areas:
We’ve answered some of the questions we hear most often, and we’re happy to talk through anything else.
We get asked this a lot.
And rightly so, because pressure washers in the wrong hands ruin old mortar, soften render and lift tiles. Our answer is to match the method to the surface.
Fully.
PureGem carries £5 million of public liability cover, and our training includes IPAF for powered access, SafeContractor approval and the chemical certification needed to apply professional biocides and sealers safely.
If seeing the paperwork would give you peace of mind, we’re glad to send certificates across before you book anything. You’re trusting us with your property, and you should be able to check up on us.
Usually not, which often comes as a pleasant surprise on the quote.
High level work is done from hydraulic boom platforms run by IPAF trained operators. Gutters are easier again: our SkyVac system clears them up to four storeys from the ground, and afterwards we go back over every run with a camera so you can see for yourself that they’re empty.
Some will, eventually, and any company promising you otherwise isn’t being straight.
Spores travel on the wind and settle wherever they land. What a proper treatment does is kill the existing growth right down and leave a residue in the surface that keeps working long after we’ve packed up.
In practice a treated roof or rendered wall stays clean for years, and when regrowth does eventually appear it comes back slowly and in patches, so you get plenty of warning.
Ask anyone who’s had a cheap splash-and-dash job done how quickly theirs greened over again.
Gutters want clearing every year or two, more often with trees overhanging the roof. It’s cheap prevention, because blocked gutters cause a lot of the damp and water damage we end up being called out to repair.
Render is happiest with a soft wash every few years. Drives and patios depend on shade, use and traffic, and a sealed surface stretches the gaps out further.
When Luke surveys your property he’ll tell you honestly what needs doing now and what can wait.
Much less than people expect.
Most domestic jobs are finished in a day, and we fit round you rather than the other way about.
Paths stay usable where it’s safe, beds and borders are protected, and we choose products with pets, ponds and wildlife in mind.
On commercial sites we plan access around your trading hours and keep the fuss to a minimum. All we normally need from you is an outside tap and a spot for the van.
Being Yorkshire, it’s never far from our minds.
Rain rarely stops pressure washing, gutter clearance or roof work. Chemical treatments and sealing are a different matter and need a dry spell to work into the surface.
If the weather turns we move the date, and there’s no charge for it. We’d much rather come back next week than have to do a job twice.
A good part of our week.
Cladding restoration for industrial and retail units, high level roof and canopy cleaning, car parks and walkways, workshop floor degreasing and graffiti removal, for schools, offices, shops, cafes and farm buildings.
Commercial clients get the same people and the same standards as domestic ones, along with the access equipment, certification and £5 million cover that site contracts tend to ask for. We’re used to working to specification and around your operating hours.
Then we put it right. Before we pack up, Luke walks the job with you and checks everything against the written specification you agreed.
If anything has fallen short, it gets sorted there and then, and the invoice only goes out once you’re satisfied.
Twenty years and 65 five star reviews in, most of our work now arrives through recommendation, and that only keeps happening if every job is finished as it should be.
