Will cleaning damage the coating or seals?

Our method is non-abrasive. We start with an agreed test patch, use soft-wash chemistry with controlled dwell times, then low-pressure rinsing. Steam/DOFF is applied locally only where suitable. Sealants, laps and fixings are protected.

Can you work safely at height and provide RAMS?

Yes. RAMS are supplied. Trained operatives use water-fed systems and MEWPs with exclusion zones. We coordinate permits and share insurance documents on request.

Do you offer out-of-hours or phased delivery?

Yes. Evening, night and weekend programmes are available to minimise operational disruption. Multi-block estates can be phased to suit occupiers.

How long does a typical project take?

Timescales depend on elevation size, access and soiling. Many small to medium units complete within 1–2 days. Larger or multi-elevation sites are planned in phases.

Cladding Types We Clean

We safely clean most external cladding systems and finishes:

Aluminium and galvanised steel (incl. plastisol)
Powder-coated and other pre-finished systems
Composite and insulated panel systems
uPVC boarding, soffits and trims
Canopies, fascias, curtain walling and signage panels

Common issues include algae, lichen, traffic film, rust staining and bird residues. Where isolated panels are beyond cleaning, we can specify and deliver targeted resprays to achieve consistent colour and sheen.

Our Safe Cleaning Method

Our approach combines soft-wash chemistry with low-pressure rinsing and controlled steam/DOFF where appropriate. Every project begins with a test patch so the method is agreed in advance.

Survey & test patch to agree method, dwell times and nozzles
Soft-wash pre-treatment to lift biofilm and traffic film
Low-pressure rinse to protect coatings, seams and sealants
Localised steam/DOFF for stubborn deposits where suitable
Spot treatment for rust streaking and ferrous fallout
Wastewater containment and drain protection; COSHH-assessed detergents

Live sites are managed with exclusion zones and coordinated access. Electrics and shutters are isolated as needed; glazing and signage are masked. Handover includes before/after photography for assurance.

Local Feedback from Arbroath

Tom Redfern — Operations Manager, Saxon Estates (Arbroath)

MEWP works were well controlled with tidy exclusion zones. Turnaround was quicker than quoted and handover photos were excellent.
