The service
A sensible next step after the main clean
A thorough exterior clean is a starting point, not a promise that weather, trees and everyday use will stop affecting your property. Aftercare means planning what happens next. Suitable follow-up care helps keep surfaces cleaner for longer and tells you when further attention is worthwhile.
The LBS Aftercare Service is built around the surface already cleaned. That could mean a periodic maintenance clean or a re-treatment visit where appropriate. There is no one-size package or fixed schedule; Leon explains what suits your property at quote stage.
Aftercare suits homeowners who want to look after a refreshed exterior and commercial customers managing the presentation of their premises. It is particularly worth discussing where shade, nearby trees, foot traffic or regular debris make some areas more demanding than others.
You deal directly with owner Leon Smith, who has 18 years’ experience and does the work himself. LBS is based in Bromley and works with domestic and commercial customers across surrounding areas. Any follow-up work is explained and quoted before it begins.
If it's left
Don't let a good clean go to waste
The aim is not to sell you unnecessary visits. It is to stop manageable build-up turning back into a large cleaning job, and to make sure returning marks are dealt with the right way.
Waiting until build-up is extensive
Leaving a surface until growth is widespread makes the next clean bigger and costlier. Timely follow-up keeps it manageable.
The wrong treatment between visits
An unsuitable product or aggressive DIY clean can undo the finish you wanted to keep. Different materials react differently.
Mistaking a maintenance issue for a cleaning issue
Returning marks can come from shade, falling leaves or drainage problems. Aftercare helps identify the real cause so it can be dealt with.
Visits that don't match the surface
A fixed interval can be too frequent for one area and too rare for another. Tailored follow-up avoids wasted spend.
Common mistakes
- Assuming every cleaned surface needs the same follow-up interval, regardless of material, shade or use.
- Treating a roof, a paved path and exterior uPVC as if one maintenance method suits all three.
- Applying a shop-bought product without checking it is compatible with the surface.
- Expecting aftercare to include repairs or sealing (LBS does not offer sealing).
- Waiting for widespread growth before asking for advice.
How Leon works
Five clear steps, no surprises
- 1
Discuss the surface and your priorities
Tell Leon what has been cleaned and what you want to maintain, including recurring growth, nearby trees, shade or heavy use.
- 2
Consider condition and causes
Leon looks at the material, exposure and access, and separates cleaning-related follow-up from faults that need repair.
- 3
Agree the scope and price
If a maintenance clean or re-treatment visit makes sense, Leon gives a free, clear quote. The price is as quoted.
- 4
Carry out the follow-up work
Each visit focuses on the agreed surface and objective, using an approach suited to its condition.
- 5
Know what to watch for next
Leon explains the signs that mean it's time for further attention, so you can call him at the right moment.
What you get
Why homeowners choose LBS
Less guesswork when marks return
You know who to call and what to describe, instead of starting from scratch or experimenting with unfamiliar products.
No risky DIY
Some follow-up involves height, slippery surfaces or awkward access. Leon handles it safely.
Care that respects the material
Follow-up suited to each surface protects its finish rather than simply cleaning harder or more often.
Spend where it's justified
A property-specific plan avoids paying for repeat work you don't need.
One point of contact
Leon carried out your original clean, so he already knows the property and what was agreed.
Clear and insured
LBS carries £5 million public liability insurance, and every follow-up visit is quoted upfront. For roof and moss treatments, a moss-free guarantee is available.
In detail
Aftercare that starts with the surface
Driveways, patios and paving
Patios and driveways face foot traffic, vehicles, shade and surrounding planting. A sheltered corner may need attention sooner than an exposed section of the same paving.
Block paving, concrete, natural stone and porcelain each behave differently. Leon will suggest suitable follow-up at quote stage. LBS does not offer sealing, so aftercare focuses on cleaning and re-sanding where needed.
Roofs and recurring moss
Roof cleaning at LBS uses softwashing and biocide treatments. Where a re-treatment visit helps keep moss and algae at bay, Leon will discuss it specifically for your roof.
A moss-free guarantee is available on relevant roof and moss-treatment work. Ask Leon to explain what applies to your quoted job.
uPVC, fascias and other details
Exterior fittings collect dirt differently from paving. White uPVC shows airborne deposits clearly, while shaded roofline sections develop organic staining.
Some staining has a cause beyond dirt, such as an overflowing gutter. Good aftercare identifies that, so a gutter clear can stop the marks returning.
Domestic and commercial priorities
At home, the priority may be keeping a patio welcoming or avoiding another heavy build-up. At commercial premises, presentation and customer access matter too.
Explain your priorities and any restrictions to Leon. You'll get a clear recommendation and, where work is proposed, an agreed quote. No subscription is required.
Simple things you can do between visits
A few minutes of attention between visits makes a real difference. Sweep fallen leaves off patios and driveways before they rot and stain the surface, especially in autumn. Keep drains and channel grates clear so water doesn't pool on paving. Trim back overhanging plants and branches where you can, as they keep surfaces shaded and damp.
Wipe up oil spills on driveways as soon as you see them, before they soak in. Avoid using a hired pressure washer at full power on surfaces Leon has cleaned, as it can wash out the re-sanded joints on block paving or damage soft stone.
If you notice moss returning on the roof, gutters overflowing again or green patches appearing in shady corners, take a photo and send it to Leon. He can tell you whether a follow-up visit is worthwhile or whether it can wait, so you only book when it's genuinely needed.
FAQs
Aftercare Service questions
How much does aftercare cost?
Aftercare is quoted individually, based on the follow-up your property needs. Leon gives a free, clear quote before any work begins, and the price is as quoted.
When should I arrange an aftercare visit?
There is no single interval for every surface. Ask Leon what signs to watch for; many customers book gutters and surfaces around the same time each year.
What does aftercare involve?
Follow-up care after a clean to keep surfaces cleaner for longer, such as periodic maintenance cleans or re-treatment visits arranged with Leon.
Is there a guarantee?
A moss-free guarantee is available on relevant roof and moss-treatment work. Every follow-up visit is quoted upfront, and LBS carries £5 million public liability insurance.
How long will the results of my clean last?
That depends on the surface and surroundings. Shade, trees, weather and use all affect how quickly build-up returns, which is exactly what aftercare is planned around.
Can I book emergency aftercare?
No emergency service is advertised. Call Leon on 07720 288141 and he will fit you in as soon as he can.
Do you provide aftercare in Chislehurst?
Yes. LBS covers Chislehurst, Bromley, Orpington, Beckenham, Keston, Petts Wood, West Wickham and other local areas.
Can I book aftercare if LBS didn't do my original clean?
Yes. Tell Leon what was cleaned, when, and how it looks now. He'll assess the surface and quote for whatever follow-up work makes sense, or a full clean if that's what it needs.
Can I combine aftercare with gutter clearing?
Yes. Many customers book their annual gutter clearing and a maintenance clean of the patio or driveway on the same visit, which keeps arrangements simple. Leon will quote each part clearly.
Do I have to sign up to a maintenance plan?
No. There's no subscription. You agree each visit, scope and price with Leon before work begins.
