Facade pressure washing — Facade cleaner
Identify the facade and the dirt you want removed, including any loose coating, deteriorated mortar or previous leaks. Ask the contractor to confirm whether pressure washing is appropriate rather than specifying a machine setting from a photograph or assuming it is suitable because the wall looks solid.
Service scope
Professional water-based pressure cleaning of suitable exterior surfaces after assessing the material, joints, openings and deposit. The requested method remains conditional on compatibility and is not an instruction to apply high pressure to every facade.
What is normally included
- Assessment of suitability for pressure cleaning
- Agreed exterior washing scope
- Protection of openings and surrounding areas
What is not included
- High-pressure treatment of unsuitable or unstable surfaces
- Repair of failed joints or water ingress paths
Typical tasks
- Review surface and joint condition
- Assess water-sensitive interfaces
- Agree a cleaning trial and method
- Wash the approved facade areas
- Check the cleaned result and work-area condition
What to include in your brief
- Surface material and area
- Deposit description
- Photographs of joints and openings
- Known leaks or damaged finishes
- Water access and surrounding-site constraints
Choosing the right professional
Ask why pressure cleaning is appropriate for the substrate and what would cause the provider to recommend an alternative. The quotation should address openings, runoff and finish limits; machine power is not a meaningful substitute for experience with the actual facade.
Important considerations
- Excessive force may erode weak surfaces or joints
- Water can enter vulnerable building interfaces
