Cleaning range hoods, façades and terraces: a guide

What specialist cleaning of extractor hoods, façades, paving and solar panels includes, and how to request it to get accurate offers.

2 min read ·

Some cleaning jobs go beyond routine housework: grease in an extractor hood, mould on a façade, algae on a terrace or dust on solar panels. They need specific tools and products.

Hoods and extraction ducts

Grease built up in the hood and filters reduces suction, causes odours and is a fire risk. A professional clean removes and degreases the filters and cleans the accessible parts of the hood. It matters especially in heavily used kitchens, such as holiday homes with frequent turnover.

Façades and exterior walls

Salt air, damp and pollution darken façades and encourage mould and algae. Cleaning can be done by pressure washing or with specific products, depending on the material: not every surface withstands pressure water. State the type of wall and finish so the right method is chosen.

Terraces, paving and solar panels

Terraces of stone, tile or wood gather algae, dust and stains. The best method depends on the material, and the wrong treatment can damage it. Solar panels collect dust and sand, which reduces output; cleaning them regularly helps, but it must be done carefully and safely, especially on roofs.

Safety and access

Work at height, on roofs or with pressure equipment should be done by professionals with proper gear. State the height, access and area so the offer is realistic. If you live in a community, ask whether the community must be told before façades or shared areas are cleaned.

How to describe the job to get accurate offers

Say what needs cleaning, the approximate area, the material, the height and the current condition, with photos. If you want several jobs combined, such as hood and terrace, request them in the same request.

How often

Cleaning a hood every few months, or sooner if you cook a lot, prevents build-up. Façades and terraces usually need an annual clean, or when the effects of the weather show.
