Restore and protect your building's exterior with our expert cladding cleaning and maintenance solutions
Get Free QuoteYour building's cladding is the first line of defense against the elements, protecting the structure from weather damage while enhancing its aesthetic appeal. Over time, cladding accumulates dirt, pollution, algae, and organic growth that can compromise its appearance and protective qualities.
At Al Grey's Cleaning Services, we specialize in professional cladding cleaning using advanced techniques that safely remove contaminants without damaging the surface materials. Our team has extensive experience working with all types of cladding, including UPVC, composite panels, metal, brick, and rendered surfaces.
We understand that clean cladding is more than just visually appealing—it's essential for maintaining your property's value, preventing long-term damage, and ensuring the building envelope remains watertight and secure. Our comprehensive cladding cleaning services are designed to protect your investment while restoring your property's curb appeal.
Comprehensive solutions for all your exterior cleaning needs
Our UPVC cladding cleaning service is specifically designed to tackle the unique challenges of plastic-based exterior surfaces. UPVC can accumulate ground-in dirt, green algae, black spot mould, and pollution stains that regular cleaning methods struggle to remove. We use specialized cleaning solutions that break down these contaminants without damaging or discoloring the UPVC material.
The process begins with a thorough assessment of the UPVC condition, identifying any areas of particular concern. We then apply our professional-grade cleaning agents using low-pressure systems that ensure complete coverage without forcing water behind the cladding. For stubborn stains or areas with heavy biological growth, we may use soft brushing techniques to lift the contamination before the final rinse.
Composite cladding panels require careful cleaning to maintain their aesthetic appeal and protective properties. These modern building materials can be sensitive to aggressive cleaning methods, which is why we use specially formulated techniques that clean effectively while preserving the surface integrity. Our approach removes dirt, pollution residues, and organic growth without compromising the panel coatings or causing premature wear.
We assess the specific type of composite material and its condition before determining the optimal cleaning approach. For high-traffic or industrial areas where pollution is heavier, we may recommend more frequent cleaning schedules to prevent permanent staining. After cleaning, we can apply protective treatments that help maintain the clean appearance for longer periods and provide additional resistance to environmental contaminants.
Metal cladding surfaces present unique cleaning challenges, particularly with corrosion, oxidation, and industrial fallout. Our metal cladding cleaning service is designed to address these issues while protecting the underlying material. We use cleaning solutions that are specifically formulated for different metal types—whether aluminum, steel, zinc, or copper—ensuring effective cleaning without causing damage or accelerating corrosion.
For metal surfaces showing signs of oxidation or rust, we employ specialized treatments that remove these contaminants while providing protective barriers against future deterioration. In coastal areas where salt spray accelerates corrosion, we recommend more frequent cleaning and additional protective measures. Our metal cladding cleaning not only restores appearance but also contributes to the longevity of the building envelope by preventing progressive deterioration.
Rendered walls are particularly susceptible to algae growth, moss colonization, and pollution staining due to their porous nature and textured surface. Our rendered surface cleaning service uses techniques that penetrate these porous materials to remove biological growth and staining at the root level. We avoid high-pressure methods that can damage the render or force water behind the surface, instead using soft wash systems that clean effectively while being gentle on the substrate.
The cleaning process for rendered surfaces includes application of algae-killing solutions that continue working after the initial clean, providing ongoing protection against regrowth. For painted renders, we use cleaning methods that won't damage or fade the paintwork. After cleaning, we can apply water-repellent treatments that help keep the surface cleaner for longer by reducing water absorption and making it more difficult for algae and dirt to adhere.

A systematic approach to ensure thorough cleaning and protection for your building's exterior
We begin with a comprehensive inspection of your cladding to identify the type of contamination, assess the material condition, and determine the safest and most effective cleaning approach for your specific situation.
We protect surrounding areas including windows, doors, landscaping, and adjacent surfaces before beginning the cleaning process to ensure no damage occurs to your property.
Using our advanced cleaning systems and specialized solutions, we gently remove dirt, algae, pollution, and biological growth from your cladding without causing damage to the surface materials.
After cleaning, we apply long-lasting protective treatments that inhibit future biological growth and contamination, extending the time between professional cleanings.
Get answers to common questions about cladding cleaning
Most buildings benefit from professional cladding cleaning every 2-3 years. However, this can vary depending on factors like your location, surrounding environment, cladding material, and exposure to pollution or biological growth. We can provide a specific recommendation after assessing your property.
Yes, when performed by professionals using the correct methods. We use techniques specifically designed to be gentle on cladding materials while effectively removing contaminants. We avoid high-pressure washing which can damage surfaces, force water behind cladding, or remove protective coatings.
Yes, algae and other biological growth can cause damage to cladding over time. They retain moisture against the surface, potentially leading to deterioration of materials, especially on porous surfaces like render. Regular cleaning prevents these issues and extends your cladding's lifespan.
Yes, we offer a satisfaction guarantee on all our cladding cleaning services. If you're not completely happy with the results, we'll return to address any concerns at no additional cost. Additionally, our protective treatments come with a guarantee against regrowth for a specified period.
Yes, we use environmentally friendly, biodegradable cleaning solutions that are safe for plants, pets, and the surrounding environment when applied correctly. We take precautions to protect your landscaping during the cleaning process and can use additional protective measures if you have particularly sensitive plants.
Yes, clean, well-maintained cladding significantly enhances your property's curb appeal and can increase its value. Potential buyers or tenants are often put off by dirty or algae-covered exteriors, while a clean building suggests good overall maintenance and care.
