How to Boost Kerb Appeal Before Selling Your Property in Guildford or Surrey
If you’re preparing to sell your home, first impressions really do count. Most buyers decide within seconds whether a property “feels right”—often before they’ve even stepped through the door. That’s why kerb appeal matters more than many sellers realise.
In competitive property markets like Guildford and across Surrey, presenting a clean, well-maintained exterior can help your home stand out from the crowd. The good news? You don’t need to spend thousands on landscaping or renovations. Sometimes, all it takes is a professional clean.
At Aqua Pro Exteriors, we help Surrey homeowners enhance their property’s appearance with safe, effective exterior cleaning services. Here’s how you can do the same.

Why Kerb Appeal Is So Important When Selling
Your home’s exterior is the first thing a potential buyer sees—whether online or in person. If the driveway is stained, the patio is green, or the render is discoloured, it immediately creates a sense of neglect, even if the inside is immaculate.
Clean, bright surfaces suggest a well-cared-for home. They make your property look fresh, modern, and more valuable—creating a strong emotional response that can translate to faster sales and better offers.

Quick Ways to Improve Kerb Appeal
Here are some of the most effective improvements you can make before listing your home:
1. Pressure Wash Your Driveway and Patio
Over time, driveways and patios collect dirt, moss, oil stains, and algae. A professional pressure wash can restore them to their original colour and condition, dramatically improving the overall look of your entrance and garden.
This is especially valuable in areas like Guildford and Woking, where shaded gardens and damp conditions encourage rapid moss growth.
2. Clean the Render or Brickwork
Green or black staining on rendered walls is common in many Surrey homes. Soft washing is the safest way to remove algae and biological growth from render, brick, and cladding—making the entire front of your home look brighter and better cared for.
3. Remove Moss from the Roof
A moss-covered roof can make your home look older than it is. While roof moss doesn’t always cause damage, it does suggest neglect to buyers. A professional roof clean can refresh the appearance of your property and reassure potential buyers about its maintenance history.
4. Clean Gutters and Fascia Boards
Overflowing or dirty gutters can be a red flag during viewings. A quick gutter clean, along with wiping down fascia and soffits, gives a crisp, finished look to your roofline.
5. Tidy the Front Garden and Entrance
Don’t overlook the basics—cutting grass, trimming hedges, and placing a new doormat or potted plants at the front door can all create a more welcoming and cared-for feel.
