What’s involved in an External Building Cleaning?

Unsurprisingly, cleaning the exterior of a building can be a big job, with a bigger building providing a larger project. And to make the job even more difficult, there are several aspects of an external building clean.
Despite what many may think, it’s not a case of just hosing down or scrubbing the building. Each building will have different cleaning needs, and different methods that need to be employed to meet each of those needs.

Some of the aspects of an external building cleaning could include:
​

• High pressure washing
• Soft washing
• Window cleaning
• Brick cleaning
• Roof cleaning
• Cladding and fascia cleaning
• Graffiti removal
  

How does an External Building Cleaning work?

Your first step is to find a reliable business who can clean your building properly. Unlike plumbers and electricians, external building cleaners aren’t required to undergo any professional training or have any qualifications in order to ply their trade.

To ensure that the cleaners you’re hiring are legitimate and equipped to do the job, check their customer history. If they have a long list of happy customers, they’re likely to provide a good service.

Once you’ve found your cleaners, they’ll check the work site and assess any environmental or weather hazards before submitting a work plan.

What’s included in the plan will depend on what type of cleaning your building needs. To find out what the exact process would be for your building, it’s best to get in touch with a reputable cleaner and discuss your needs with them.

Why should I get an External Building Cleaning?

While external cleaning may seem to many people like a cost that has very little returns, it actually provides a number of great benefits, including financial perks. These include:
​

• Reduced chance of property damage – as harmless as they can seem, organic growths such as mould or algae can actually affect the roof and other parts of your property, allowing water to creep in, resulting in property damage
• Better property appearance – unsurprisingly, by removing stains and other blemishes from your property, it’s inevitably going to look better.
• Increased property value – properties that are kept clean and in good condition are more likely to be seen as desirable by potential buyers, making them easier to sell and potentially for a better price
• Lower risk of health issues – if not cleaned, the exterior of your building can experience the build up of potentially harmful substances. Cleaning reduces the risk of these substances leading to breathing or allergy problems.
