Facade cleaning
Describe the facade material, building height and marks you want addressed, with photographs of both the overall elevation and affected areas. Mention previous coatings or treatments and known defects so the cleaner can assess compatibility rather than quote solely from the building's floor area.
Service scope
Cleaning of an identified building exterior using a method selected for its material, condition and soiling. The service distinguishes removal of unwanted deposits from repairs, repainting and protective treatments, and may require trials before an acceptable result can be specified.
What is normally included
- Assessment of exterior surfaces and deposits
- Agreed cleaning trials and treatment
- Protection and cleanup associated with the cleaning scope
What is not included
- Structural repair of defective facades
- A promise to restore every surface to an as-new colour
Typical tasks
- Identify facade materials and soiling
- Review condition and access
- Agree a suitable cleaning trial
- Clean the specified exterior areas
- Inspect the result and clear the work area
What to include in your brief
- Elevations and approximate surface area
- Surface materials and existing coatings
- Type and extent of deposits
- Access and occupied-building constraints
- Known repairs treatments or heritage restrictions
Choosing the right professional
Look for experience with comparable surfaces and ask how the method and result will be agreed. A test area, realistic finish expectations and protection of openings and adjacent property matter more than a blanket promise that stronger cleaning will remove every mark.
Important considerations
- Inappropriate cleaning can damage a surface or its joints
- Hidden defects may become visible after deposits are removed
