Exposed gutters, fascias & soffits just like window frames build up films of dirt over time, this dirt is sufficient to allow a biofilm and later green algae to grow. As we know, nature has a way of always moving back in.
Sadly & exactly, because uPVC stains over time (because it is porous) it’s important to address & clean surface dirt, bio-films & green algae within a year or two to optimise the whiteness, maintain brilliance and look of your gutter fascia line.
In this case, a lapse of 4 or 5 years had a green algae build up (as shown in the most of the early photographs). Luckily, with effort, a bespoke mix of cleaning agents (always mixed by myself) and delivered in a clinging initial snow foam, with added brush spray on’s all of the gutter line came up well. Only some water hardness limescale was left in small patches, this being reduced by using spot application of limescale reducer. Many window cleaners don’t have the knowledge, skill set or know how to tackle these jobs but I feel its an important service a window cleaner should be able to offer, especially as I know & take care of my clients buildings & uPVC. Downpipes are always included for free.
