Our approach is brand-sensitive and compliance-led: test patches agreed in advance, COSHH-assessed detergents suited to coated systems, and wastewater containment as standard. We can phase works or schedule maintenance to keep facades consistent year-round.

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

Typical issues include algae, lichen, traffic film, rust streaks and bird residues. If areas are beyond cleaning, we can repair and respray selected panels to achieve consistent colour and sheen.

How We Clean Cladding (Safely)

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

  • Soft-wash pre-treatment to lift biological growth and traffic film
  • Low-pressure rinse to protect coatings and joints
  • Steam/DOFF for stubborn soiling (as suitable)
  • Spot treatment for rust streaks and fallout
  • Wastewater control with bunding/filters; eco-conscious detergents

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