Between the Grade I listed bridge of 1786 and the beech-wooded Chiltern hills behind it, Henley-on-Thames packs a lot of character into a small town. That character is exactly why exterior cleaning here needs a lighter touch. The Thames keeps the air damp for much of the year, the hills drop leaves and needles into gutters every autumn, and the streets around Market Place, Hart Street and Bell Street are full of old brick, timber and glass that won't tolerate rough treatment. JRH Exterior Solutions is a family-run, fully insured team covering Henley and the villages around it, using purified water, gentle soft washing and hand work where the building calls for it.
Housing in and around Henley ranges widely. The town centre and Northfield End have Georgian and earlier frontages, many inside the conservation area and some listed. Out towards Badgemore, Harpsden and Rotherfield Greys you find brick-and-flint cottages and larger detached houses set in mature gardens, while the lanes down to Shiplake and the river hold Edwardian and inter-war homes alongside more recent builds. Each brings its own problems: moss on old clay tiles, green algae on north-facing walls and paths, hard-water marks on glass, and gutters choked by trees. We look at the house first, then choose the method that suits it.

My house is in the Henley conservation area. Is your cleaning suitable?
Our methods are chosen to be gentle: purified water for glass, hand and low-pressure work on roofs, and soft washing rather than high pressure on render and older stone. If your property is listed, it's worth checking with South Oxfordshire District Council before any repair work, and we're happy to talk through what we plan to do first.
