For facilities, estates & property teams

A cleaner building says everything about your business

Algae-streaked cladding, dirty glazing, green roofs and blocked gutters send the wrong message to customers, staff, parents and visitors — and left untreated, organic growth can shorten the life of coatings and building materials.

We combine more than 25 years of exterior-cleaning experience with specialist equipment, including soft washing, hot-water and purified-water systems, rotary cleaning and commercial drone cleaning carried out under our CAA Operational Authorisation. The right cleaning method is chosen for each building, its surfaces and the way your site operates.

Commercial projects can be supported by site-specific Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), insurance documentation, operational planning and before-and-after photographic reporting. For drone projects, operational planning additionally considers airspace, site surroundings, exclusion areas and relevant permissions.

FAQs

Commercial cleaning questions

What documentation can you provide?

Commercial projects can be supported by site-specific Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), insurance documentation, operational planning and before-and-after photographic reporting.

Can you work outside business hours?

Work can be scheduled for early mornings, evenings, weekends and school holidays where required to minimise disruption to normal site operations.

Is every commercial building suitable for drone cleaning?

No — and we will always be honest about it. Every drone project starts with a remote survey and an airspace and operational assessment to confirm the building, surroundings and permissions are suitable.

Do you work outside Hampshire, Surrey and West Sussex?

Our core areas are Hampshire, Surrey and West Sussex. For larger commercial and specialist projects we are happy to travel further afield where the project warrants it.

Can you set up regular maintenance?

Yes. Planned maintenance programmes keep buildings looking their best and are easier to budget for.
