Welcome to STARR Exterior Services

Industry experts advise having your gutters cleared out on an annual basis. This is particularly important if you have moss on the roof or overhanging trees. Regular gutter cleaning/clearances are a vital part of home maintenance which should not be overlooked. Congested gutters and downpipes can lead to serious issues such as penetrating damp, rotten timbers, mould growth, damage to foundations and pest infestation. In comparison with the costs involved in fixing these issues, an annual gutter clearing service is inexpensive.

We use a high-powered commercial grade gutter vacuum which utilises high-reach poles. This system removes more debris than manual ladder methods and there are no accessibility issues. We also have a down pipe suction tool which enables us to clear blockages from down pipes.

Our unique patented Roof Wand system will not only remove harmful moss from your roof but also utilises water volume to clean the dirt from the tiles, which increases kerb appeal. This system should not be confused with pressure washing. It is designed to allow the operator to pre-set the angle of the jets, thus negating water from being able to be sprayed up and under the tiles.

All our services, including roof cleaning are undertaken from ground level which is safer and less likely to result in accidental damages. In some circumstances we are also able to use scraping tools to remove moss.

Moss removal will extend the life of your roof forgoing the need for a costly roof replacement for many years.

With every roof clean a gutter clearance will be included.

Why is moss a problem for roofs? Well, it acts like a sponge absorbing high levels of moisture meaning that parts of your roof are constantly wet. This moisture can seep under the tiles and rot the timbers threatening the structural integrity of the roof. When wet moss freezes it can cause tiles to shift and/or crack and break.

We use a high powered commercial pressure washer to provide a fantastically clean finish to your driveway or patio. Patio cleaning will remove dirt and algae, restore original colours and provide you with a surface that is slip free and looking great.

We regularly work on block paving driveways which can be cleaned, have fresh sand applied to joints and an application of protective sealant (optional).

We also clean stonework and walls using soft washing techniques, removing dirt and brick dust to leave your home looking great.

We use a pure water system which will leave your windows (once dry) looking clean, streak free and sparkling. The main advantages of using this method is that your frames and cills will always be cleaned too and our high-reach pole system enables us to clean skylights/velux windows and windows that would usually be inaccessible (i.e. above conservatories/extensions). Window cleaning can be arranged as a one off service or scheduled at a frequency to meet your requirements. Please contact us for a quote.

Our high reach water-fed pole system does a great job of removing dirt and grime from the outside of metal and UPVC gutters, soffits, facias and cladding. This service makes such a difference to the appearance of a property.

We are also able to revive wood cladding that has greyed through UV exposure restoring it to its former glory and improving the appearance of your home.

Solar panels should ideally be cleaned once or twice a year in order to maximise efficiency and boost output. Dirt and dust can block sunlight reaching the cells, reducing the panel's ability to produce electricity. Regular cleaning can boost outputs by around 20% and increase longevity. 

We also offer a flat pack/Ikea assembly service which we charge at an hourly rate. Everything from wardrobes to chests of drawers and small garden structures/furniture.
