Restore Your London Façade — Without Scaffolding
Specialist cleaning for stone, brick, terracotta, render, glass and metal cladding. Curb appeal back, surfaces protected, building open and trading throughout.
A Clean Façade Protects More Than Appearance
Atmospheric soiling, biological growth and pollution staining are not just cosmetic. Black gypsum crusts on limestone trap moisture and accelerate erosion of the stone face. Algae and lichen on render hold water and damage the finish. Bird soiling on stone is acidic and etches the substrate.
Periodic specialist cleaning extends the life of the façade and is consistently cheaper than the restoration that replaces it.
For commercial properties — hotels, offices, retail, hospitality — the impact on first impressions is direct. A streaked, grimy elevation reads as neglect long before any tenant or guest crosses the threshold.
Rope access keeps the building open during the works. No pavement closure, no hoarding, no parking suspensions and no week-long scaffold erection blocking the entrance.
Method Matched to Substrate
Portland & Limestone
Low-pressure superheated water (DOFF), micro-abrasive (TORC) or chemical poultice depending on staining and substrate condition.
Brick & Stock Brick
Soft washing for biological soiling, controlled steam for hydrocarbons. Pointing condition assessed and reported during the same visit.
Terracotta & Faience
Glaze-safe cleaning that preserves the fired surface — gentle steam and pH-neutral biocide rather than abrasive methods.
Render & Painted Surfaces
Soft wash with biocide treatment to kill algae and lichen at the root, preventing rapid re-soiling. Detergent system for grime.
Glass & Curtain Walling
Pure-water reverse-osmosis cleaning for spot-free finish on every elevation, including hard-to-access atria and recesses.
Metal & Composite Cladding
Surface-safe detergents tailored to coated aluminium, ACM, zinc and stainless. Gentle on coatings, hard on grime.
A Different Cost and Disruption Curve
Building Stays Open
No scaffold, no hoarding, no closed entrances. Hotels and retail trade normally; offices stay productive.
Half the Total Cost
Cleaning is a labour task — no need for a scaffold structure. Rope access typically prices façade cleaning at 40–60% below the scaffold-and-clean equivalent.
Defect Survey Included
While cleaning, our team logs every pointing defect, lifted lead and stained area — you receive a free defect summary at handover.
From Test Patch to Final Walk
Test Patches First
No method goes on the building at scale before a discreet test patch is reviewed and signed off — protects the substrate and the budget.
Containment & Drainage
Pavement protection, drain covers and run-off control to keep the surrounding environment as it was found.
Phased Elevations
Elevation by elevation, with photographs at each stage. Final walk-around with you before sign-off.
