How to Prepare Your Home for Winter with Professional Exterior Cleaning

As the colder months approach, it’s essential to protect your property from the harsh effects of winter weather. Rain, frost, wind, and debris can all take their toll on your home’s exterior — leading to damp, blocked gutters, and long-term damage if left untreated.

At Top Glass Exterior Cleaners, we specialise in helping homeowners across Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon, Yatton, Congresbury, Cheddar, Winscombe, Banwell, and North Somerset prepare their homes for winter with professional exterior cleaning services.

From gutter clearing and render washing to window cleaning and jet washing, a little pre-winter maintenance goes a long way in protecting your investment.

Why Winter Preparation Is Crucial

Winter brings constant moisture, lower temperatures, and reduced sunlight — ideal conditions for algae, mould, and structural wear. Preventative cleaning helps:

• Stop water damage from blocked gutters and downpipes.

• Prevent mould and algae growth on render and patios.

• Reduce slip hazards on paths and driveways.

• Maintain curb appeal and property value.

• Extend the lifespan of paintwork, brickwork, and render.

A clean, well-maintained home resists the effects of frost and moisture far better than a neglected one.

Step 1: Gutter Cleaning – Your First Line of Defence

Clogged gutters are one of the most common causes of winter water damage. Falling leaves, moss, and debris build up in autumn, preventing rainwater from draining correctly.

Our GutterVac system safely removes all debris from the ground, preventing overflow and protecting your roofline.

Why winter gutter cleaning matters:

• Prevents leaks and internal damp.

• Protects fascia and soffit boards.

• Reduces weight strain on gutter fixings.

• Keeps water flowing freely away from your home.

Step 2: Window Cleaning for Maximum Winter Light

Clean windows make a huge difference during dark winter months. Our pure-water window cleaning system leaves glass sparkling, streak-free, and more resistant to water marks.

Benefits of winter window cleaning:

• Increases natural light indoors.

• Prevents grime build-up and staining.

• Keeps glass and frames in better condition.

Whether for residential or commercial properties, we provide regular cleaning schedules to suit your needs.

Step 3: Render Cleaning to Prevent Damp and Algae

Green or black staining on walls is more than just unsightly — it’s a sign of trapped moisture and algae growth. Over time, this can lead to discolouration and cracking.

Using our soft-wash render cleaning method, we remove organic build-up gently and safely, protecting your home from long-term damage.

Render cleaning benefits:

• Stops algae before it spreads.

• Preserves wall integrity.

• Keeps your property looking bright and clean.

Step 4: Jet Washing Paths, Patios, and Driveways

Frost and rain make outdoor surfaces slippery and dangerous. Our professional jet washing service restores paths and driveways, removing moss, algae, and grime for both safety and appearance.

Advantages of pre-winter jet washing:

• Removes slip hazards.

• Reduces frost damage.

• Refreshes tired surfaces.

A clean, dry surface also prevents the spread of organic growth during winter.

Step 5: Conservatory and Roof Cleaning

Your conservatory roof collects debris throughout autumn. Cleaning before winter helps maintain light levels and prevents algae from setting in.

Our purified-water cleaning system reaches difficult angles and glass panels for a streak-free, long-lasting finish.
