Overview

## What cladding cleaning actually involves

Cladding panels collect traffic film and organic growth that dull the whole elevation. Softwashing restores the finish without stressing the panels or their seals.

### What it is
Cladding cleaning is the low-pressure softwash cleaning of external panel systems, composite, metal, timber, fibre-cement and uPVC, removing atmospheric soiling, traffic film, algae and lichen without stressing panels, seals or coatings.

### Who it is for
Commercial landlords and managing agents, industrial and retail unit occupiers, schools and healthcare estates, and homeowners with clad elevations or extensions.

### When it is needed
As part of a planned maintenance cycle, before a lease event or building survey, ahead of a rebrand or refurbishment, or when the elevation has visibly dulled and streaked.

### Why professional help matters
Cladding coatings are engineered finishes. Aggressive pressure forces water past the gaskets and behind the panels, and abrasive cleaning dulls the coating permanently, turning a cleaning cost into a recladding cost.

## What's included

- Residential and commercial elevations
- Up to three storeys as standard, higher with access equipment
- RAMS and method statements on request
- Working-at-height qualified team (IPAF and PASMA)

## Pricing
Cladding Cleaning is priced per property based on size, access and condition, and confirmed in a written quote valid for 30 days. Payment is by bank transfer against an invoice, or cash; we do not currently take card payments.

What it costs to wait

## What happens if it is left

### Coatings degrade under soiling
Atmospheric grime and organic growth hold moisture and pollutants against the coating, accelerating chalking and fade until only a repaint or replacement restores the finish.

### Water gets behind the panels
Pressure-washing a panel system drives water past the gaskets and joints, into the cavity and insulation, where it stays.

### The building reads as neglected
Streaked, dulled cladding tells every visitor, tenant and prospective occupier that the estate is not being maintained. It affects lettability directly.

### Small defects go unnoticed
Displaced gaskets, loose fixings and failed sealant are easiest to spot from the access equipment during a clean; miss the clean and you miss the inspection.

### Common mistakes we get called in to fix

- Pressure washing panel systems and pushing water behind the gaskets
- Using abrasive or solvent cleaners that dull or craze the factory coating
- Cleaning the front elevation only, so the building looks worse from the car park
- Working at height without IPAF or PASMA certification and proper equipment
- Commissioning without RAMS, which almost always causes an access problem on the day

Our process

## How the job runs, start to finish

Step 1

### Inspection
We identify the panel system and coating, check gaskets, joints and sealant, and survey access: ground conditions, exclusion zones, overhead services and where plant can safely stand.

Step 2

### Diagnosis
Panel type and soiling level set the solution strength and dwell time. RAMS and method statements are produced on request before mobilisation, along with any permit-to-work requirements.

Step 3

### Execution
Ground and glazing are protected, then the softwash is applied panel by panel at low pressure and rinsed down in a controlled sequence, working top to bottom so there are no run marks.

Step 4

### Verification
Before the vans move, the work is walked with you or photographed end to end. Gutters are flow-checked, surfaces are inspected in daylight, and anything we found along the way, a slipped tile, a split downpipe, a failing joint, is reported in writing rather than left for you to discover.

Step 5

### Completion and guarantee
The site is cleared, planting is rinsed off and your invoice follows by email. Where the service carries a guarantee, the terms are confirmed in writing with the date the cover runs from, and low-cost retreatment is offered before the cover lapses rather than after.

Benefits

## What you get for the money

### Speed
Whole elevations are cleaned in a planned sequence with access equipment already scheduled, minimising the days plant is on site.

### Safety
IPAF and PASMA qualified operatives, documented RAMS, and up to three storeys as standard with MEWPs or tower scaffolding above that.

### Longevity
Removing organic growth and pollutant film extends coating life and defers repainting or recladding.

### Cost savings
Planned cleaning is a maintenance line item; deferred cleaning becomes a capital project.

### Reliability
One-off or contracted repeat cleaning with a directly employed team of five across three vans.

### Peace of mind
£5m public liability and £10m employer's liability cover, with defects reported in writing.

In detail

## Cladding Cleaning: methods, materials and variations

### Panel systems and materials
Composite and insulated sandwich panels, PPC aluminium and powder-coated steel, fibre-cement boards, timber and thermally modified cladding, uPVC and shiplap systems, and rainscreen assemblies. Coated metals need a neutral solution that will not attack the finish, fibre-cement holds lichen in its surface texture and needs a longer dwell, and timber cladding is treated more like decking than like panels.

### Method detail
The softwash is applied at low pressure through a broad fan from the top of the elevation down, dwelled so the biocide breaks down the growth biologically, and rinsed with volume rather than force. Working panel by panel across full runs prevents visible tide marks between wet and dry areas. Glazing, signage, ground surfaces and any landscaping below are protected before application begins.

### Variations of the service
Full-building cleans, single-elevation cleans, planned annual or biannual maintenance under contract, pre-sale and pre-lease presentation cleans, and combined packages with commercial window cleaning, gutter clearance and carpark cleaning delivered in a single mobilisation.

### Situations this applies to
Industrial estates and distribution units, retail parks, offices, schools and academies, healthcare premises, and residential properties with clad extensions or upper elevations. Buildings on main roads accumulate traffic film fastest; buildings backing onto trees or open land carry the heaviest organic growth.

### Residential and commercial differences
Residential clad elevations are usually a single-day job with no formal documentation required. Commercial work carries RAMS, method statements, site inductions, permit-to-work compliance, exclusion zones and scheduling planned around the building staying operational throughout.

### Our method on your property
Softwash treatment applied at low pressure and rinsed down, panel by panel.

Questions

## Cladding Cleaning FAQs

How much does cladding cleaning cost?+Cladding is quoted by elevation area, panel type, access requirement and soiling level, with a written itemised quote valid for 30 days.

How long does it take?+A domestic clad elevation is typically a day. Commercial buildings are programmed around access equipment, with the duration confirmed in the quote before mobilisation.

Will softwashing damage the coating?+No. Low-pressure application with a neutral solution is chosen specifically to clean the panel without abrading the coating or forcing water past the gaskets.

Do you provide RAMS and method statements?+Yes, on request, along with evidence of IPAF and PASMA certification and our insurance schedule.

What insurance do you carry?+£5m public liability and £10m employer's liability cover.

How high can you work?+Three storeys as standard, higher using MEWPs, cherry pickers or tower scaffolding priced into the quote.

Can you work outside business hours?+We work 8am to 6pm, and plan commercial cleans around your quieter periods so the building stays operational. Tell us your constraints when you enquire.

How often should cladding be cleaned?+Annually on main-road and industrial sites, every eighteen months to two years in cleaner settings. Planned cycles cost far less than restoring a neglected elevation.

Can you clean windows and gutters at the same time?+Yes: combining cladding, commercial window cleaning and gutter clearance into one mobilisation reduces the total access cost significantly.

Which areas do you cover?+Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and the surrounding counties, from our base in Stony Stratford.
