Since then, elfords has steadily expanded and now has well over 600 customers within a 70-mile radius of our Bournemouth base, generally covering most of Dorset and Hampshire.

We look after a number of different types of customers; commercial, industrial and domestic and are always delighted to take your enquiry no matter how big or small. Pressure washing, or as some like to refer to it as jet washing, is where we use quality industrial high-pressure water cleaning equipment to restore many different types of surfaces to their former glory.

Have you invested a considerable sum of money in your solar panel systems only to find they are no longer as efficient as they once were? Oil spills can be an unsightly blight on your once proud driveway or path, be it at home or your business.
Services
Gary Elford, who is a time served qualified engineer, founded elfords exterior cleaning & restoration in 1994. Originally focusing on window cleaning elfords have gradually expanded and diversified into many different types of external cleaning and restorative cleaning services. We now regularly service in excess of 600 regular customers as well as many one-off projects from within the domestic, commercial and industrial sectors.
Pressure washing, or as some like to refer to it as jet washing, is where we use quality industrial high-pressure water cleaning equipment to restore many different types of surfaces to their former glory. There is a big difference between the quality equipment we use compared to what can be purchased at your local DIY store and the results that you can expect.
We understand the importance of maintaining the historical beauty and integrity of many types of heritage stone structures, from memorials, private homes, land mark structures and stately homes to name a few. Many of these are listed buildings and as such must be cleaned and restored within strict guidelines.
Modern (and old for that matter) gutter systems are designed to take roof rain water away from your property thereby preventing damp issues. Often of course guttering can be the least of our concerns until they go wrong. By the time this happens we may already have damp problems occurring due to blocked or damaged guttering overflowing etc.
Windows - we all love to see through them and the light they bring into our homes, offices and factories, but hands up who loves cleaning them? Well, believe it or not, here at elfords we do, in fact we love it so much that we are happy to turn up and ensure your windows stay sparkly clean either regularly monthly, bi-monthly, bi-annually, annually or one offs.

The workmanship is top-notch and our block looks so much better for the brilliant tile cleaning Gary did on it.

Gary recently visited our apartments at Studland Dene, Alum Chine. He was very personable, cheerful and effective and did an excellent job cleaning the atrium roof and the entrance canopy. It was transformational.

Did a great job cleaning off some graffiti at the front of a block of flats! Carried out to an excellent standard and very professional.

Very sceptical about results before the cleaning as we had used high pressure cleaners before, which hadn't been particularly successful and had worn away the stone surface quite badly.
Extremely happy with the results that took the colour back to original, but had almost no effect on the surface of the stone facade. He was also able to restore a statue that looked like a black and green lump, back to full glory.

Elfords did a fantastic job, booked to clean the exterior of a rendered house (after we'd tried ourselves 4 days to clean 1/8 and hired a tower) should have booked professionals to start with!
Would highly recommend to family and friend 😁

Gary carried out render cleaning for a client on my behalf, and was punctual, thorough and courteous at all times. Highly recommended!

I had the stonework cleaned at the front of the house and the finished effect is really excellent, even better than I could have hoped as the stonework is quite delicate. Gary Elford was prompt and always courteous, and his prior advice was very helpful and reassuring. In all very good value and very pleased.
