FAQs - Commercial Exterior 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.
10x weaker than standard household bleach
Chemicals become inactive within approximately one hour / once dry
Careful run-off management and environmental protection procedures in place
The safety of your team and members of the public is our highest priority, so all our projects start with a thorough risk assessment to ensure compliance and safety in each unique environment.
For delicate, historical, or sensitive surfaces, DOFF steam cleaning, soft washing and manual hand scraping can be used.
Our team have extensive experience, having been instructed by local town councils, of cleaning local memorials, clock towers and ancient buildings in Devon villages and towns. Real case studies of ur specialist cleaning work can be provided on application.

A site-survey and consultation involves one of our experience commercial cleaning agents visiting your site to assess your needs. This is a free service where we can discuss your needs as a property owner / manager including your desired outcome and also any issues around safety and compliance.
The aim of the initial consultation is to gain a clear understanding of what you need to achieve and your timescale.
