Commercial cladding cleaning
Cladding is the part of a commercial building that everyone sees and nobody owns day to day. It streaks, it stains below every fixing and window head, and the wrong cleaning method damages a coating that costs a great deal more to replace than to maintain.
What we clean, and how
- Powder-coated aluminium and steel. pH-neutral detergent, soft brush or low-pressure application. Aggressive alkaline products dull the powder coat and the dulling is permanent.
- Composite and ACM panels. Low pressure only, working panel by panel so joints and gaskets are not driven open.
- Profiled and box-profile steel. Cleaned along the profile, with attention to the run-off pattern below flashings, which is where the staining actually forms.
- Render and rainscreen panels. Soft wash with a biocide where the soiling is organic.
- Glazed curtain walling. Pure-water pole system to the reachable height, with the frames cleaned as part of the same visit rather than left dirty around clean glass.
Access
Most work is done from the ground with pole systems up to four storeys. Above that, or where the elevation is obstructed, we cost the access honestly at survey stage — MEWP, rope access or scaffold — rather than presenting a low number and returning with a variation.
What good looks like on a report
Photo evidence per elevation, dated, with the same camera position used each cycle so you can see the trend rather than a set of unconnected pictures. That is what makes a cleaning spend defensible to a board or a residents' committee.
How a commercial job runs
- Free site survey. We walk the site, identify the surfaces and the access constraints, and agree the scope in writing.
- Fixed-price proposal. One number per visit or per cycle, with the method stated. No day-rate creep.
- RAMS before mobilisation. A job-specific risk assessment and method statement, plus COSHH sheets for every product used on your site.
- Scheduled visits. Out-of-hours where the site needs it, so trading, teaching or residents are not disrupted.
- Monthly photo report. Dated evidence per elevation or per zone, which is what your own reporting line usually needs.
- Invoiced on completion. One invoice, whatever the number of sites.
Scheduled retainers start from £150 a month, set after the walk-through. All prices · Credentials pack · Commercial hub
