Specialist Cladding Restoration
Cladding is your property's primary external shield, whether it's a commercial unit or a modern residential home. We treat it with the care it deserves. Our process begins with a detailed assessment to identify the material and the specific pollutants present.
Different materials require different care. Our team is trained to provide the Ultimate Service for all cladding types, ensuring a perfect clean without compromise:
-
Plastic Coated Steel: The most common commercial cladding. We safely remove traffic film and dirt to restore its colour and durability.
-
Weatherboard or Cedar Wood: Often used on homes and apartment blocks. This requires careful, gentle cleaning to preserve its traditional, natural look.
-
Powder Coated Metal: Found in various colours, this requires extra care. We clean carefully to avoid accelerating the dull, washed-out look caused by UV damage (at which point, restoration, not cleaning, is necessary).
-
Other Materials: Including aluminum, zinc, copper, and additional wood varieties—each treated with a bespoke, professional approach.
Why Cladding Cleaning?
Regular cladding cleaning is vital for maintaining the integrity and long-term appearance of your building. This service is a crucial part of a proactive, preventative maintenance program, reducing your property's lifetime maintenance costs.
We remove airborne pollutants, algae, and lichens that damage the cladding's coating over time. This eliminates the need for costly repairs and prevents the degradation that leads to expensive, often unsuccessful over-painting panels.
For commercial properties, a clean, well maintained exterior sends a positive, professional signal to visitors, potential customers, and employees, reinforcing your brand's image.
How Often Should You Clean?
Some manufacturers require routine cleaning of their panels to maintain warranty terms. Our expertise ensures we use the correct methods and materials to keep you fully compliant and protected.
Frequency depends on the material type and location (e.g., near busy roads or damp areas may require more frequent cleaning). We can set up a customised schedule to maintain the required standard.
On commercial properties, we will tailor a schedule to your business needs, from weekly to quarterly, to ensure your premises always present a professional image.
Frequently asked questions
"What is the difference between cleaning and restoration?"
Cleaning removes dirt, grime, and organic growth to restore the existing finish. Restoration is required when the cladding surface is damaged, such as when UV exposure causes powder-coated finishes to become dull and chalky. We focus on cleaning to prevent the need for costly restoration.
"Can you remove heavy black streaks and staining?"
Yes. Black and green streaks are typically organic growths that our specialized solutions are designed to eliminate completely. You will notice the difference immediately as the original, vibrant colour of your cladding is restored.
"Is your method safe for all cladding materials?"
Yes, we are trained to identify materials and use the correct low-pressure or soft-wash technique.
