A little care after our visit helps you look after your property, vehicle or treatment. Choose the guide for the service you had.

Had more than one service? Read each relevant guide. For example, a house wash and BugBlock need different aftercare.

Exterior cleaning and roof treatment

House and building washes, decks, concrete, gutters, solar panels and the important tank-water instructions.

Read exterior cleaning aftercare

Caravan and motorhome washing

Gentle cleaning between trips, acrylic windows and caring for the Nerta Hydro Ceramic Wax finish.

Read caravan and motorhome aftercare

BugBlock treatments

Returning home, keeping the treatment in place and separate advice for interior and exterior treatments.

Read BugBlock aftercare

Chimney sweeps and inspections

Your report, any follow-up work and practical fire-care tips before you light your next fire.

Read chimney sweep and inspection aftercare

Follow the instructions given for your job. Any waiting times, repair requirements or site-specific advice from our technician take priority over general tips.

Roof treatment and tank water: keep downpipes disconnected until at least 40 mm of rain has fallen after treatment. Contact us if you need help or are unsure about reconnecting.

Looking for preparation advice instead?

Before your visit, use our exterior cleaning preparation guide or BugBlock preparation checklist.
