Solar panels have no moving parts, they require very little service or maintenance. We recommend a cleaning service twice a year to keep your solar panel system generating sufficient energy. This is to ensure your system is kept in full working order and without any fault or drop in a generation.
At Total Gleam, we take a hands-on approach to cleaning your solar panels. Unlike some companies that rely on robotic cleaning machines, we believe in the precision and care that comes from manual cleaning.
Each of your solar panels is attentively cleaned using specialist solutions tailored for maximum effectiveness and safety. This method allows us to avoid the issues often associated with robotic cleaners, such as marring and swirling on the UV panels.
Such defects can impair the panels’ efficiency by causing sunlight to deflect. Our manual cleaning not only ensures a thorough clean but also helps in maintaining the optimal performance of your solar panels by preventing potential damage.
EXCELLENTBased on 86 reviewsWill Willcox2023-10-05The guys at total gleam did an amazing job cleaning my roof today, didn't realise how bad it had got until they had finished! Top service at a good price, would recommend.Gail Varble2023-08-21I would HIGHLY recommend this company. We were so impressed with the quality of work - they did a fantastic job and the crew were very friendly and courteous. Our roof looks brand new now! Thank you so much ????Sue Griffith2023-08-11My elderly mother’s roof and driveway/patio/paths had a lot of moss, algae, and dirt, and the driveway and paths also had many weeds – they should have been cleaned years ago. Mark at Total Gleam promised a Rolls Royce job for a full cleaning (including gutters, fascia boards, etc.) and his company exceeded our expectations. His 2 workers arrived on time, worked really hard all day, and did a fabulous job. They left everything spotlessly clean and the path and roof were unrecognizable (in a good way). I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Total Gleam.Libby Boulton2023-08-06Amazing job, very friendly and professional.Conrad Greensmith2023-07-29Great and professional service throughout.Ian Thomas2023-04-21Total Gleam cleaned my roof and gutters today.

Ideally, solar panels should be cleaned at least twice a year to maintain optimal performance. However, this can vary depending on your location and the level of dust and debris they're exposed to. Regular cleaning ensures they operate at maximum efficiency.
While it's possible to clean solar panels yourself, professional cleaning is recommended for safety and effectiveness. Our team uses specialised equipment and solutions to clean without damaging the panels or reducing their efficiency. Professional cleaning also ensures hard-to-reach areas are properly addressed.
Absolutely. Clean solar panels can significantly improve energy efficiency. Dirt, dust, and bird droppings can obstruct sunlight and reduce the panels' energy output. Regular cleaning removes these obstructions, ensuring your solar panels perform at their best.
