EXTERIOR CLEANING IN COTTINGHAM

A Big Village With A Real Mix Of Housing

Cottingham sits about 4 miles north-west of Hull, close enough that it functions as a commuter village while keeping its own centre, shops and identity. The housing reflects that: Victorian terraces near the old village centre, streets of 1930s and postwar semis further out, and pockets of newer housing built as the village has grown. The presence of Castle Hill Hospital and links to the University of Hull nearby also means a fair amount of rented and shared housing alongside the family homes.

That range of property ages means gutters and roofs in Cottingham fail in different ways depending on which part of the village you're in. Older Victorian terraces tend to have narrower, more easily blocked gutter runs, while the postwar semis usually have wider, more accessible ones that just need clearing on a regular schedule. Either way, it's the kind of routine maintenance that's easy to put off until the damp patch appears inside.

Gutter clearing and window cleaning are the two services we're called out for most in Cottingham, partly because so many streets here have mature trees lining them, which means more leaves in the gutters through autumn than you'd get on a bare new-build estate. If you're renting out a property in the village, we're used to dealing with landlords directly and can arrange a regular round so it's one less thing to chase every year.
