Combined window and facade cleaning — Facade cleaner
Provide an elevation or window schedule and identify the wall areas to be cleaned as part of the same visit. Explain opening restrictions and occupied rooms so the contractor can plan the sequence without assuming that a window-cleaning price includes the surrounding masonry or cladding.
Service scope
A coordinated exterior-cleaning commission covering specified glazing and facade surfaces, with separate methods and finish expectations for each material. Internal glass, frames, roof glazing and facade repairs are included only when named in the schedule.
What is normally included
- Scheduled external window cleaning
- Assessed cleaning of adjacent facade materials
- Coordinated access and work sequencing
What is not included
- Automatic inclusion of all internal glazing
- One cleaning method assumed suitable for every surface
Typical tasks
- Define glazing and facade schedules
- Identify different material requirements
- Plan coordinated access
- Complete the specified cleaning sequence
- Inspect glass and wall finishes separately
What to include in your brief
- Window count or glazing area
- Facade materials and dimensions
- Frames sills and other included elements
- Access and opening restrictions
- One-off or recurring cleaning requirement
Choosing the right professional
Compare the two scope schedules and ask how runoff from facade cleaning will affect finished glass. Check whether frames and sills are included, and require material-appropriate methods rather than treating a combined contract as a single undifferentiated wash.
Important considerations
- Facade residues can re-soil recently cleaned glazing
- Incompatible treatments may affect seals frames or coatings
