Fascia/soffit, I find them easy to do and always get a better hourly rate.

Neither!

Agreed. Where is the neither/equally bad option?
It's a game of three halves!

Conny roof. I softwash them now so it’s a piece of cake!

I hate scrubbing sofits and gutters with wfp.

An hour is not a good indicator,  if I had a full day of either I would choose conservatories, I tend to earn more cleaning conservatories

Fascias/soffits.....I've got a few booked in over the next few weeks for existing customers....I clean them at the same time as their windows.....

The only time I hate them is if I dont earn £50-£60 an hour cleaning them.....
price higher/work harder!

I hate them Daz.

I hate the soffits with those little vents running the whole length.

It also annoying trying to get in all the nooks and crannies of the gutters and brackets.

Conny roof, piece of cake, softwash and rinse off, done in less than an hour.

I find gutter cleaning takes ages, is hard work, and unless you get up there with a ladder, rarely looks perfect...

I use an old xtreme brush for f/s/g......maybe some virosol if really bad...but normally very hot water suffices......

I will clean any conny roofs if the access isn't too bad too and the customer accepts the price (obviously).....I find a lot of the time they dont......even though I think I price fair for the work involved....

Where’s the “neither” option to vote😂
I’m too busy to do any extras now and I can earn more or the same cleaning glass and less effort too

I don't tend to do either one but if I had to choose I'd pick the conservatory roof.  Both are more trouble than they're worth though I think.

Yeah interesting I might start using this method to clean them too,Zesty do you apply the chemicals via a backpack or portable sprayer if so what chemicals have you thought was best.
