What types of cladding can you clean?

We clean aluminium, steel (incl. plastisol), powder-coated, composite and uPVC cladding, plus insulated panel systems. We select methods that protect coatings and seals.

How do you avoid damaging the panels?

We use soft-wash, low-pressure rinsing and steam/DOFF where appropriate, with test patches and manufacturer-friendly detergents. No abrasive methods on coated panels.

Can you work at height and provide RAMS?

Yes. We supply RAMS, use trained operatives and MEWP access where needed, and set up exclusion zones. Insurance documentation is available on request.

Do you work out of hours to minimise disruption?

Yes. Evening, night and weekend schedules are available to keep sites operational and reduce downtime for tenants and staff.

Cladding Types We Clean

We clean most external cladding systems and finishes:

Aluminium and steel (incl. plastisol-coated)
Powder-coated and pre-finished systems
Composite and insulated panel systems
uPVC cladding and soffits
Canopies, fascias and signage panels

Common soiling includes algae, lichen, traffic film, rust staining and bird residues. We survey each site, agree test patches and follow manufacturer guidance for coated systems. If any areas are beyond cleaning, we can repair and respray panels to achieve a consistent colour and sheen.

How We Clean Cladding (Safely)

We combine soft-wash solutions with low-pressure rinsing and steam/DOFF where appropriate, starting with a test patch to confirm the approach.

Soft-wash pre-treatment to lift algae and traffic film
Low-pressure rinse to protect coatings and joints
Steam/DOFF for stubborn staining (as suitable)
Spot treatment for rust streaks and fall-out
Wastewater control; eco-conscious detergents

On live sites we fine-tune dwell times, nozzle choice and rinse TDS to protect coatings and avoid spotting. Electrics and shutters are isolated, signage and glazing masked, and landscaping/drains protected with bunding and filters. Our RAMS cover COSHH, overspray, noise and slip-risk controls, with before/after photos for assurance.
