Regular maintenance helps avoid costly repairs by preventing build-up and ensuring that your property is well-maintained.

-
How often should I have my gutters cleaned?Answer: We recommend having your gutters cleaned at least once a year, especially during autumn when leaves and debris can cause blockages. If you have overhanging trees or live in an area with a lot of rainfall, more frequent cleaning may be necessary.

How do you pressure wash my driveway or patio?Answer: We use a combination of equipment to clean your driveway or patio effectively. For flat surfaces, we use a flat surface cleaner, which provides even coverage and avoids damage.

Once the pressure washing is complete, we apply a chemical treatment where required to remove any remaining stains or to prevent future moss and algae growth.

For block paving we then include re sanding once dried.
-
What is regrouting, and why is it necessary for external surfaces?Answer: Regrouting for external surfaces involves removing old or damaged grout from outdoor tiles, such as those on patios or walkways, and replacing it with fresh grout. Over time, weather conditions like rain, frost, and sun can cause grout to crack, break down, or discolor. Regrouting restores the appearance of your outdoor tiles and prevents water from seeping into the gaps, which can lead to further damage or moss and algae growth. It also helps maintain the structural integrity of the tiled surfaces, ensuring they stay in top condition.
-
Do I need to seal my driveway or patio after pressure washing?Answer: While sealing is optional, we highly recommend sealing your driveway or patio after pressure washing. Sealing helps protect the surface from stains, moss growth, and weather damage, keeping it looking clean and new for longer. We offer sealing services using high-quality products that create a durable, protective layer.
-
What types of chemical treatments do you use for driveway and patio cleaning?Answer: We use HSE-approved chemicals from Pure Seal to treat your driveway or patio. These chemicals are specifically formulated to tackle tough stains, moss, algae, and other contaminants. While not necessarily eco-friendly, these products are effective and safe when applied according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Our team ensures that the treatments are used responsibly and effectively to maintain the quality of your surfaces.
-
How often should I re-seal my driveway or patio?Answer: It’s generally recommended to re-seal your driveway or patio every 1-2 years, depending on the amount of foot traffic and exposure to the elements. Sealing protects the surface and helps maintain its appearance over time, making it easier to clean and resist stains or moss growth.
Had the Chris and Craig from Skyhawk Exterior Cleaning over recently for a full roof moss removal and treatment — and honestly, I couldn't be happier with the results. My roof was completely covered in moss and looked tired and neglected, but now it looks fresh and well-maintained. They didn’t just scrape the moss off — they treated it with a proper HSE-approved biocide to prevent it from coming back. You can tell they take pride in their work and know what they’re doing. They were polite, professional, and left everything spotless afterwards, even clearing the gutters and washing down the fascias. If you're looking for reliable roof cleaning in Crawley or West Sussex, I'd highly recommend Skyhawk. Proper job from start to finish.

Chris and the Skyhawk team worked wonders on my heavily Moss and debris laden roof. It hadn't been treated in a number of years and the end result is excellent. The guys really know their stuff and I was really impressed with the care taken and the little additional tasks they undertook, leaving my property looking in great shape. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Had a really good experience with SkyHawk. They was very professional throughout and the work we got done was excellent. They provided exterior roof cleaning and bird deterrent work. Since the work that finished a week ago, I have a clean roof and no birds. Very happy customer.
