Professional cladding cleaning – how we do it

Not all cladding is the same. Using the wrong cleaning method can cause cladding surfaces more harm than good by stripping coatings or trapping water behind panels. At Prestige Professional, our technicians are fully trained to use specialist equipment with effective techniques that are safe and suitable for each cladding surface.

From low-pressure DOFF steam cleaning to power washing and soft washing, we adapt our approach and cleaning method to suit each cladding type for exceptional results. We can remove more dirt, algae, and contaminants without causing damage for deep cladding cleaning and long-lasting protection, carried out with precision and care.

Cladding cleaning maintenance packages

Keeping your building’s exterior in prime condition doesn’t stop after one clean. Regular cladding cleaning every 6 to 12 months helps prevent any buildup to extend the cladding’s lifespan and maintain a consistent, professional appearance throughout the year. Whether you need seasonal service or annual upkeep, our maintenance packages keep your cladding clean, protected, and compliant year-round.

Cladding cleaning FAQs

Got questions on cladding cleaning? We’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions about our cladding cleaning services, processes, and timings to help you make the right decision for your building.

General Questions

What types of cladding can you clean?

We can clean a wide range of cladding materials. These include: aluminium, steel, uPVC, powder-coated metal, composite panels, wooden cladding, natural stone, brickwork, timber, and render.

How do you clean the cladding? 

We use low-pressure soft washing techniques together with specialist cleaning solutions to avoid damage. Controlled pressure washing is only used on suitable surfaces and never on delicate materials.

Can you clean cladding without damaging it? 

Yes. We assess your cladding material first before choosing the most suitable cleaning technique for the surface type. All our cleaning techniques are non-abrasive and gentle, but for older or vulnerable surfaces, we use DOFF steam-cleaning systems or low-pressure rinsing only.

Do you use access equipment?

Yes. Wherever necessary, we use telescopic systems and powered access platforms (MEWPs), and can arrange scaffolding if it’s needed. Plus, all our technicians are trained in safe working at height, with IPAF and relevant accreditations.

Are you insured and certified to work at height?

Absolutely. Health & safety is at the heart of our service. We hold full SafeContractor accreditation and public liability insurance up to £10 million.

Do you provide risk assessments and method statements (RAMS)?

Yes. RAMS are supplied to you as standard before any work begins. We also supply pre-clean condition reports and optional post-clean photographic records.

Material-Specific Questions

Can you clean wooden cladding?

Yes. Wooden cladding is cleaned using gentle, wood-safe solutions and low-pressure methods to avoid damage to the grain. We can also recommend aftercare treatments such as oiling or staining if you need them.

What about stone or brick cladding? 

We regularly clean stone and brick cladding by using DOFF or Thermatech steam systems. Both systems are ideal for removing dirt, algae, and pollution build-up without damaging the surface – perfect for heritage buildings.

Can you remove green algae, moss, or red staining?

Yes. We treat and remove biological growth using specialist biocide solutions that also help prevent regrowth.

Can you treat efflorescence (white salt deposits)?

Efflorescence can sometimes be reduced through specialist treatment. But as it’s a naturally occurring issue linked to moisture in the substrate, we’ll advise you on the best solution based on the cladding material and severity.

Results and Expectations

Will the cleaning restore the cladding to look ‘as new’? 

In many cases, yes – the transformation can be dramatic, particularly on modern finishes. Though some weathering or staining may remain on older or damaged surfaces, we’ll always manage expectations upfront.

Will it damage the protective coating or void warranties?

No. Our cleaning methods are carried out to preserve powder coatings and finishes. We never use corrosive products that could harm the surface.

Do you offer protective coatings or sealants after cleaning?

Yes. We offer post-clean treatments, including anti-graffiti, hydrophobic, and stain-blocking coatings where appropriate.

Will I need to re-treat or repaint the cladding after cleaning? 

Not always. But with any wood or aged powder-coated cladding, we recommend additional aftercare for maximum protection. We can help you with or advise on these treatments if needed.

Can you remove graffiti or rust staining? 

Yes. We have specific cleaning solutions and processes for graffiti, rust marks, and discolouration. We’ll assess the removal on a case-by-case basis and advise you on the expected results.

Practicalities and Logistics

How long does it take to clean cladding?

Cleaning time is based on the size and complexity of your building. Most sites take 1-3 days, but we’ll always give you an estimated timeframe and schedule before any work starts.

Do I need to shut my site or close off any areas?

Usually not. We can zone off working areas safely and work around your schedules, including evenings and weekends, for minimal disruption.

Can you clean windows, fascias, and gutters at the same time? 

Yes. Many clients combine cladding cleaning with other external services for a complete refresh. We’re happy to give you a bundled quote.

How long will the results last?

The results will depend on the local environment and weather exposure. Most clients see excellent results that can last from 12-36 months. We also offer scheduled maintenance cleans.

Do you offer reminders or maintenance plans?

Yes. We can set up annual or bi-annual reminders and schedule future cleans to keep your building looking its best all year round.

Costs and Service Area

How much does cladding cleaning cost? 

Pricing will vary and depend on the building’s surface area, height, condition, and access requirements. We offer free quotes based on photos or a site visit, with transparent pricing – and no hidden costs.

What areas do you cover? 

We’re based in Cornwall and cover the whole of the South West, including Plymouth, Exeter, and beyond. We can also travel nationwide for larger industrial projects.

Can you provide a formal quote for tender purposes?

Yes. We can provide comprehensive quotations that include method statements, safety documentation, and credentials for pre-qualification or any procurement process.
