Why cladding needs the right cleaning method
Cleaner building appearance
We remove grime and growth so the exterior looks more consistent and better cared for.
Surface-led method choice
We match the process to the panels, coating and joints instead of forcing extra pressure.
Planned for bigger elevations
We divide larger areas into workable sections to keep the clean steady and controlled.
Lift traffic film and weathering from cladding
Cladding can take on traffic film, algae and general weathering that makes a building look dull long before the rest of the site is noticed. We clean commercial cladding with the material, coating and level of soiling in mind, aiming for a cleaner and more even appearance across the elevation. We provide a method selected for the panels in front of us, not just the quickest option.
Transparent advice for your project
Some elevations suit pressure washing, while others need soft washing or steam cleaning to respond better to the coating, joints and build-up present. We also plan water use, access and nearby working areas before we begin. With Billy Halliday Exterior Cleaning Special, larger buildings can be cleaned in sensible sections so the job stays organised from start to finish.
Frequently asked questions
How do you choose between pressure, soft washing and steam?
We look at the cladding material, the condition of the coating, panel joints and the type of soiling before choosing a method. That helps us decide whether pressure, lower-force washing or a heat-assisted clean is the better fit.
Can coated cladding still be cleaned carefully?
Yes, but the coating condition matters. We assess the surface first and choose a method that responds to that condition rather than assuming every panel can take the same level of force or heat.
How do you manage larger commercial elevations?
We plan access first and often work in sections on bigger buildings. That makes it easier to manage water, keep track of progress and work around the parts of the site that still need to stay in use.
