Why Regular Building Washing Matters

Unwashed buildings and surrounding structures (canopies, footpaths, etc.) often lead to corrosion and significantly reduce the life of the building materials. If your building material warranties require regular washing, skipping cleans can void those warranties - leading to expensive repairs to cladding or roofing.

Scheduling regular exterior cleans helps prevent damage, uphold warranties, and extend the life of the building. Using our state-of-the-art ERP system, our teams can schedule your cleans on an ongoing basis - less hassle and less admin for your team.

Common questions

How often should a commercial building be washed?

Our general guidance is to wash commercial buildings annually, with roof treatments every 6 to 12 months depending on the site and environment. Proximity to the coast, rail corridors, farms and industrial areas all affect how much maintenance a building needs and how long it lasts, so we confirm what suits your building.

How does a building wash job run?

Tell us the property location, building height or number of storeys, surface type, site-access constraints and last clean date, where known. We assess the surfaces and how the building will be reached: abseil or cherry picker for height work, or drone where no one needs to work at height. On a scheduled maintenance plan, you are notified well before each clean to confirm the dates.

Is water blasting part of a building wash?

Yes. Water blasting uses high pressure for robust surfaces such as paving and concrete, and for more delicate exterior finishes we use low-pressure soft wash methods. Read more about commercial water blasting.

Can you wash high-rise buildings?

Yes. We wash everything from high-rise buildings to small offices and retail shops, with abseil and cherry picker access for height work. See abseil maintenance, or for washing by drone, our drone services.
