See more roof cleaning and coating results What We Do ## One local team for cleaning, maintenance and improvement work Most properties here need more than a wash. We clean the outside of the building and handle the repair work behind it, so you are not chasing three different trades across the islands. ### Roof Cleaning Moss, lichen and organic growth removed from slate and tiled roofs, without damaging the covering. Roof Cleaning details ### Roof Coating Protective coating applied after cleaning to keep a sound roof looking and performing better for longer. Roof Coating details ### Gutter Cleaning Gutters, downpipes and outlets cleared so water runs away from the building instead of into it. Gutter Cleaning details ### Softwashing Low-pressure cleaning for render, cladding and painted surfaces where a jet wash would do harm. Softwashing details ### Driveway Cleaning Drives, paths and patios brought back to a clean, even, non-slippery finish. Driveway Cleaning details ### Joinery Repairs, replacements and improvement work carried out by our own maintenance team. Joinery details ### Insulation Insulation work as part of wider property improvement and maintenance projects. Insulation details ### Roofing Roofing repairs and works where cleaning alone is not the right answer. Roofing details ### Woodworm Treatment Treatment of affected timber to stop the problem spreading through the property.

Reviews coming soon Read Google ReviewsLeave a Review About ## Built by a property professional, for property owners I'm David Arthur, a local property professional who has been working in Shetland's property industry for over 10 years, with 17 years of experience overall. I started out in estate agency and property management, and as our portfolio grew, I saw first-hand the need for a reliable company that could take care of everything from cleaning and day-to-day maintenance to larger property improvement and exterior cleaning work. We built our cleaning and maintenance team to solve that problem, initially for our own properties and clients, and have since expanded the service across Shetland. I'm passionate about building a local team that customers can rely on and delivering a consistently high standard of workmanship and service. That background is the difference. We are not a van that appeared last season; we came at this from managing properties, which means we know what neglect costs an owner and what good maintenance saves them. ### The essentials OwnerDavid Arthur Experience17 years in property Base68 Commercial Street, Lerwick, Shetland ZE2 9EZ HoursMon–Fri, 9am–5pm · Closed Sat & Sun Accreditations & guaranteesNot Provided Questions ## The things people ask before they call Which areas do you cover?We are based at 68 Commercial Street in Lerwick and work across Shetland, including Lerwick, Scalloway, Brae, Sandwick, Whalsay and Bressay. Will pressure washing damage my roof or render?That is exactly why we softwash. Render, cladding and painted surfaces are cleaned at low pressure, and roofs are treated with the method suited to the covering rather than the fastest one. How do I get a price?Send us the details of the property through the estimate form, or call us directly on 01595 747045 during office hours. Tell us the property type and what you would like cleaned or repaired. Do you only do cleaning?No. The same team handles property maintenance and improvement work, joinery, insulation, roofing and woodworm treatment, which is how the business started. Are you a local company?Yes. Arthur & Simpson Ltd is run by David Arthur from Lerwick, with a local team built to serve Shetland.
