Safe, Specialist Cladding & Façade Cleaning
Cladding systems are not designed for aggressive cleaning. Excessive pressure, unsuitable chemicals, or incorrect techniques can cause permanent damage, surface etching, discolouration, or coating failure. In many cases, this type of damage is irreversible and can significantly reduce the lifespan of the cladding, leading to unnecessary repair or replacement costs.
Our service combines soft washing with controlled pressure washing solutions, allowing us to safely remove heavy contamination such as algae, traffic film, grease, and atmospheric pollution while protecting the surface beneath. Each cladding or façade system is assessed individually, taking into account the material, age, coating type, and level of soiling. This ensures the most effective and safest cleaning method is used, delivering excellent visual results without compromising the integrity or performance of the building envelope.
Our Proven 3-Stage Cleaning Process
1. Targeted Pre-Treatment
Specialist solutions break down algae, grease, carbon staining, and atmospheric pollution.
2. Low-Pressure Cleaning
Surfaces are cleaned using controlled pressure and material-specific techniques to remove stubborn residues safely.
3. Protective Post-Treatment
A hydrophobic treatment helps repel moisture, slow organic regrowth, and keep cladding and façades cleaner for longer.
This process delivers a longer-lasting clean and reduces ongoing maintenance costs.

GOOD TO KNOW
Good to Know – Cladding & Façade Cleaning
- Weather conditions affect cleaning results
Temperature, rainfall, and wind can influence dwell times and drying. Professional scheduling ensures treatments perform correctly and deliver consistent results. - Streaking is often caused by uneven runoff, not dirt
Vertical streaks on cladding are commonly the result of water runoff patterns rather than surface contamination. Correct application techniques prevent reoccurring streak marks after cleaning. - Some staining is cumulative over years
Long-term pollution and oxidised residues may require staged or repeat treatments rather than a single clean to achieve the best possible finish. - Colour restoration can vary by elevation
Areas exposed to less sunlight or airflow often retain moisture longer, affecting how surfaces weather over time. This can cause visible colour differences once cleaned.
- Drainage management is part of professional cleaning
Responsible contractors control runoff to prevent contamination of drains, landscaping, and surrounding surfaces.
- Documentation can support facilities management
Written cleaning records and specifications can help property managers plan future maintenance cycles and support compliance requirements.
How often should commercial cladding be cleaned?
Most commercial buildings benefit from cladding or façade cleaning every 24–36 months, depending on location, pollution levels, and surrounding environment.
Is cladding cleaning safe for coated or powder-coated panels?
Yes. We use soft washing and controlled pressure specifically designed to protect coatings and prevent damage or discolouration.
Can you clean cladding without scaffolding?
In many cases, yes. Our specialist equipment allows us to clean façades up to 50ft from ground level, reducing cost and disruption. Powered access is used only when necessary.
Do you offer out-of-hours commercial cleaning?
Yes. We regularly carry out cladding and façade cleaning outside normal business hours to minimise disruption to staff and customers.
Can you remove graffiti and rust stains from cladding?
Yes. We provide specialist graffiti removal and rust stain treatments tailored to the surface type and contamination.
Is bird guano dangerous on commercial buildings?
Yes. Bird droppings can carry harmful bacteria and pose health risks. We safely remove and sanitise affected cladding and façade areas.
