Exterior cleaning in Lytham & Lytham St Annes
Coastal exposure means salt, sand and fast-returning green growth on render, roofs and seafront-facing elevations.
Our approach in Lytham & Lytham St Annes
Salt-exposed render and paintwork are soft washed, windward elevations are treated to slow re-growth, and sealing is recommended on coastal driveways and patios.
What we help with in Lytham & Lytham St Annes
- Render and painted elevations dulled by salt-laden air on the seaward side
- Roof slopes and gutters holding moss where wind-driven damp keeps them wet
- Driveways and patios that have gone green, with blown sand sitting in the joints
- Conservatories, glazing frames and UPVC carrying a salt and grime film

How we assess the work
Send photographs and your address first so we can see which elevations face the weather. On site we confirm the covering, its condition and how exposed each face is, because on a coastal plot the windward and sheltered sides of the same house rarely need identical treatment.
- Render and paintwork are soft washed at low pressure with an appropriate treatment, never jetted.
- Wind-driven sand is removed from block paving joints before cleaning, and the paving is re-sanded once dry.
- Roof moss is taken off by hand where the covering allows, and gutters are cleared afterwards.
- Work is planned around the wind, as spray control matters more on an open coastal frontage than inland.
- Sealing can be discussed on driveways and patios where the surface is suitable and fully dry.
What to expect
- Salt exposure does not stop when the cleaning does, so seaward elevations will need attention sooner than sheltered ones.
- Weathered paintwork can be cleaned but not restored; where the coating has failed, decorating is the honest answer.
- Sealing can help a surface resist sand and organic staining, but it is not permanent and does not prevent regrowth.
Send us photos and your location, or request a quotation. We are fully insured with £5 million insurance cover and 10 years of industry experience.
Why people in Lytham & Lytham St Annes get in touch
- A seaward elevation has gone visibly green or streaked over a single damp season.
- Paving has become slippery underfoot after a wet, windy spell.
- Preparing a coastal property for sale, letting or a holiday season.
- Moss from the roof is washing into gutters and staining the wall below.
- Keeping on top of the outside of a second or seasonally used property.
What affects the quote
Every property is priced on what is actually there. These are the things we look at before giving you a figure in writing.
- The measured area of render, roof, driveway or patio involved.
- Which elevations are weather-facing, as those usually carry the heaviest growth.
- The surface itself — painted render, brick, block paving, flags or porcelain all behave differently.
- How much sand and organic build-up has collected in joints and channels.
- Access, including narrow seafront frontages, shared drives and parking.
- Whether re-sanding or sealing is genuinely worth doing afterwards.
DIY or professional cleaning?
Plenty of exterior upkeep is reasonable to do yourself, and doing it regularly genuinely reduces how often you need us. The line is usually drawn by the surface, the height and how far the growth has gone.
Sensible to do yourself
- Sweeping blown sand off paving before it works into the joints.
- Rinsing salt film from low-level glazing frames and doors with plain water.
- Keeping gullies and drainage channels clear so water is not standing.
- Cutting back planting that keeps an elevation permanently damp.
Better left to us
- Render and painted walls, where pressure washing drives water behind the surface.
- Roof work, which needs proper access equipment rather than a ladder in coastal wind.
- Anything at height on an exposed frontage, where footing and spray drift are real risks.
- Large paved areas, where uneven DIY cleaning leaves permanent banding.
Why choose Refresh Revive in Lytham & Lytham St Annes
Exposed and sheltered elevations are assessed separately rather than treated as one job.
Soft washing is used on render and paintwork so the coating is not stripped in the name of a quick result.
We are honest about how long a coastal finish will hold before it needs looking at again.
Glazing, planting and neighbouring surfaces are protected, and debris is cleared rather than left.
Every visit is carried out to our White Glove Standard™, with the finish reviewed with you before we leave.
