Benefits of Clean Cladding, Facades & Signage
Insurance, Responsibility, Safety
Moss, mould, lichen and algae growth is initially undetectable but soon grows compromising the structure of the building and encouraging water ingress. Many insurance plans require regular external cleaning. As such, it should be part of a regular building maintenance schedule.
Building Maintenance
Regular cleaning maintenance mitigates against the risk of organic ingrowth which in turn leads to cracks, splits and flaking on cladding, facades and signage. Annual cleaning is a cost-effective contributing factor in protecting your building and investment.
First Impressions
Statistics show that your shop / business frontage has an overwhelming impact on whether people will even enter your premises. One UK study demonstrated that over 90% of shoppers claim the outside appearance of a retail store influences where they want to shop.
Another study showed that similarly, 80% of shoppers would actively try a new shop simply because it was clean looking and inviting.
Dirty windows, algae on cladding, and faded signage signal poor maintenance and lower quality service.
Pride & Team Morale
Keep your team proud and happy to work in the building you manage.
If your workforce has to enter a building each day that is dirty and unkempt, it impacts team morale and contributes to a poor attitude to work. High standards from the start improve the chances of ongoing high standards from your people.

FAQs - Cladding, Facade and Signage Cleaning
Pressure washing uses force to blast away dirt. While effective for some hard surfaces, it can damage render, dislodge pointing, strip paint and force water into cavities.
Soft washing, instead of relying on force, it uses a targeted chemical reaction to sterilise and remove algae, lichen, fungi and mould. This means growth doesn’t return as quickly — and surfaces remain protected.
Soft washing kills spores and organic growth at the root
Pressure washing removes surface dirt but not underlying growth
Soft washing is safer for delicate materials
Longer-lasting results with biocidal protection
Our contractors can clean any exterior hard surface including brick, stone, concrete, render, cladding, UPVC, glass, and roofing materials. Depending on the strength, porosity and access to the area, we adjust the cleaning method.
We only use HSE-approved products and apply them in highly diluted concentrations (around 1%). The active ingredients are biodegradable and break down rapidly once dry.
There can be a temporary mild bleach-like smell during application, but this dissipates quickly as the solution dries.

Chemicals become inactive within approximately one hour / once dry
Careful run-off management and environmental protection procedures in place
