Frequently Asked Questions About Our Exterior Cleaning

Below are answers to the most common questions facility managers, property managers, and building owners ask when scheduling commercial exterior maintenance.

What commercial exterior cleaning services do you provide?

We offer a full range of exterior maintenance, including high-pressure drive and pathway washing, soft-wash building envelope cleaning, gutter clearance, cladding restoration, and internal/external window cleaning for commercial and public sector properties.

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away heavy dirt, moss, and grime from hard surfaces like concrete, tarmac, and block paving. Soft washing uses low pressure combined with specialized, eco-friendly biocides to safely remove algae, lichen, and organic staining from delicate building cladding, render, and signage without causing surface erosion.

Safety is our top priority. Our teams utilize water-fed pole systems for window and cladding cleaning up to high levels from the ground. For higher structures, our staff are trained in mobile elevated work platform (MEWP) operation, working fully in compliance with IPAF guidelines and site-specific RAMS.

Yes. Partnered with Peninsula, our health and safety practices stay current. We complete site-specific Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) prior to every job, manage water run-off responsibly, and use fully compliant, biodegradable cleaning agents that meet environmental standards.

Yes. To avoid access disruption, overspray risk to parked vehicles, or hazards to pedestrians and staff, we routinely schedule exterior cleaning during early mornings, evenings, or weekends when your site is clear.

In most cases, we connect to an external commercial water supply on your premises. However, if your site lacks accessible water points, we can bring self-contained mobile water tanks and bowsers to complete the work without delay.

Commercial gutters should be cleared at least once or twice a year—ideally in late autumn and spring—to prevent blockages, water ingress, and structural damage. Building cladding and exterior pathways typically require annual or bi-annual washing to maintain slip safety and brand presentation.

Yes. All Cleanforce technicians are directly employed, uniformed, fully insured, and hold DBS clearance. This allows us to work safely around sensitive environments, including schools, council buildings, and healthcare sites.

Over time, algae, moss, and buildup turn wet footpaths, fire escapes, and loading bays into dangerous slip hazards. Pressure washing and anti-fungal treatments restore surface traction, helping you maintain a safe environment for visitors and staff.

We conduct a comprehensive site survey to assess access requirements, surface area, water points, and required equipment. You receive a transparent, fixed-price quote detailing the complete scope of work with zero hidden extras.

Exterior Cleaning Overview

The exterior of your commercial property is the first thing clients, visitors, and inspectors see. Over time, South West weather, vehicle exhaust, moss, algae, and industrial pollution cause cladding, render, pathways, and windows to look neglected. Left unchecked, organic growth causes long-term structural damage, blocks drainage systems, and creates dangerous slip hazards on pedestrian walkways.

Since 2008, Cleanforce has provided commercial exterior cleaning built on safety, reliability, and visible results. Using specialized pressure washing, soft-washing equipment, and high-access reach systems, we help property managers, schools, and business owners protect their building assets and maintain a spotless corporate image from the outside in.

Our Commercial Exterior Cleaning Services

Our exterior cleaning process begins with a detailed site safety audit to select the safest and most effective method for each surface material. We match pressure levels, cleaning agents, and access equipment specifically to render, brickwork, metal cladding, or glass to ensure deep cleaning without risk of damage.

From clearing blocked high-level gutters to restoring discolored cladding and high-traffic concrete walkways, our uniformed teams operate with thorough discipline. Backed by site-specific RAMS and strict safety measures, we deliver a clean, safe, and welcoming exterior environment.
