Why it matters
White uPVC does not go grey evenly. It streaks, it greens on the shaded runs and it collects a black line under the gutter lip — and because it is at roof level nobody sees how bad it has got until it is washed.
Working in Knaresborough
Knaresborough is a historic gorge-side town of gritstone and limestone, with steep terraces above the river and modern estates on the flat. The riverside and castle side of town is steep, tight-access and largely conservation area, so ladder and platform positions have to be worked out before anything else.
How the job runs
Wash the boards down with a soft brush and a cleaning solution rather than a lance.
From there the method is the same wherever we do it — the fascia and soffit cleaning page sets out all four stages, and what a proper job includes.
What it costs in Knaresborough
What we are usually quoting in Knaresborough is steep gorge-side terraces in the old town, modern semis and detached on the flat above — and that is half the price on its own, because it sets the size of the job.
The other half is access: the hardest access we deal with. On the riverside and castle side the ground falls away behind the houses, so a two-storey frontage can be a four-storey drop at the back and the setup has to be worked out before anything is priced.
Every quote is free and fixed before anything starts, and there is no call-out fee. As a guide, £100–£300 for a typical house is the typical range for this work in the UK — usually done alongside a gutter clear. That is the market rather than a quote: yours is priced on your actual property, and the fascia and soffit cleaning page lists everything that moves it.
When to do it
Spring, generally alongside the gutter clear. There is no weather constraint beyond wanting a dry, still day to work from a ladder.
The gorge holds damp and shade on the river side almost year-round. Knaresborough is about 4 miles from our base in Harrogate, comfortably inside the patch we cover.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does black uPVC fascia fade?
Yes, more visibly than white. Dark uPVC oxidises in UV and the south and west elevations go first, which is why one side of a house often looks chalky while the other still looks new. Washing removes the dirt on top; it does not reverse oxidation in the plastic itself.
Does WD-40 restore faded plastic?
It makes it look better for a few weeks by wetting the surface, then it attracts dirt and you are worse off. Faded uPVC is oxidised on the surface — the honest options are a proper clean, a uPVC restorer, or replacement if it has gone too far.
