How quotes work in Shortlands
No two Shortlands properties are quite the same, so Leon doesn't give a vague price over the phone and then add to it on the day. He looks at the size and condition of the surface, the access, and what's growing on it, then gives you a clear quote before any work begins. As a guide, gutter cleaning starts from £69, surface cleaning from £99 and roof cleaning from £599. Customers regularly say the final price was exactly what they were quoted, and that Leon turned up on time, worked tidily and gave useful advice about keeping the result looking good for longer.

Local challenges
Common problems for Shortlands properties
Every area has its own mix of housing, trees, roads and weather. Here's what Leon sees most often on Shortlands homes, and how he deals with it.
Large period homes
Tall elevations and detailed brickwork need patience and the right method to clean safely.
Ravensbourne valley damp
Lower-lying roads near the river can stay damp, encouraging algae on patios and paths.
Sloping driveways
Algae on a sloping drive is a slip hazard. Cleaning and re-sanding restores grip and locks blocks in.
Older brick and roofs
Soft brick and mature roofs are cleaned at the right pressure to protect them.
Through the year
Looking after a Shortlands home, season by season
Spring
Spring is when most Shortlands homeowners notice how green their patio and driveway have turned over the winter. It's a good time for a patio or driveway clean, so the garden is ready for warmer days. Driveway cleans include re-sanding, which refills the joints once the old weeds and debris have been washed out.
Summer
Drier weather suits roof cleaning and brick wall cleaning. Softwashing and biocide treatments kill moss and algae at the root, and the treatment keeps working after Leon has gone. Summer is also when many people give the front of the house a full refresh, with fascias, soffits and uPVC cleaned at the same time.
Autumn
Autumn is gutter season. Leaves from trees around Shortlands and neighbouring Bromley fill gutters and downpipes quickly, and blocked gutters overflow onto brickwork. Gutter clearing starts from £69, and many customers book once the leaves have mostly fallen.
Winter
Damp, short days let algae spread on shaded paths and steps, which can make them slippery. If a surface has become a hazard, call Leon on 07720 288141 to talk through what can be done and when. Winter is also a good time to plan and book spring work early.
Wherever you are in Shortlands, the approach is the same: a free, clear quote, the right method for each surface, and the owner doing the work himself. LBS covers the whole Bromley borough and the surrounding area, including Bromley, Beckenham, Hayes, West Wickham, Bickley.
