The right method for industrial cladding cleaning

We choose the technique to suit the surface — soft washing or chemical-free steam where pressure would do harm, controlled pressure washing where it won't. That's how industrial cladding cleaning gets a lasting result without damage.

Stops damage before it costs you

Left to spread, moss, algae and lichen trap moisture against your roof, walls and surfaces and shorten their life. Regular cleaning is the cheaper, greener way to stay ahead of remedial building work.

Certified biocide treatments

Fully certified to disinfect and prevent regrowth, applied with minimal impact on occupants, pets and wildlife.

Industrial cladding & façades

An industrial building is a sales pitch in profiled steel: a streaked, algae-blackened warehouse or factory façade quietly tells every visitor, customer and prospective tenant that the business inside lets things slide. This is the premium end of our commercial exterior cleaning work — large-scale cleaning of cladding, façades and elevations across Chichester, the Witterings and out to Bognor. We bring profiled-steel, composite and aluminium cladding, factory and warehouse elevations, trade units and distribution sheds back to an even, presentable colour, lifting the algae, lichen, atmospheric grime, salt and traffic film that build up on a large exterior. The building reads as cared-for and well-run again — which is exactly what the business behind it is trying to project.

Large-scale soft washing

Pressure is the wrong tool for a large coated panel, so we don't use it on cladding. Profiled steel and composite panels carry a factory paint or PVDF coating, and a high-pressure blast can drive water behind the panels, dull or strip that coating and force moisture into the building envelope. Instead we soft wash: a biocidal treatment wets the elevation, kills the algae, lichen and atmospheric staining at the root, and is gently rinsed so the cladding comes back evenly without harming the coating or the seals. It is the same surface-respecting method we use on delicate render and on roofs across Chichester and Selsey — scaled up to a full warehouse face, and just as relevant to large-scale rendered and panelled commercial elevations as it is to a domestic wall.

Access equipment & RAMS

Reaching the high parts of a warehouse or factory safely is half the job, and it is planned, not improvised. Depending on the elevation we work from MEWPs — cherry pickers and scissor lifts — from pure-water telescopic reach poles, or from scaffold where the site demands it, with the right choice made at the survey to suit the height, the ground and the access around the building. Every job runs to a method statement covering working at height, exclusion zones beneath the work, and safe movement around a live industrial site. On the coast around Bracklesham, Selsey and Bognor that matters even more, because wind off the sea dictates when it is safe to put a platform up. Nothing at height happens until it is surveyed, equipped and documented.

Fully insured

Large-scale and working-at-height cleaning is precisely the work a facilities manager, estate operator or health-and-safety officer will not let start without paperwork — and we bring it as standard. We are fully insured and provide RAMS, a written risk assessment and method statement, for every commercial visit. For warehouse and industrial façade work that covers access-equipment use, biocide handling and run-off control, exclusion zones, and safe working alongside live yard and HGV movements. We phase the elevations, work out-of-hours where the site needs to keep running, and keep loading bays and fire routes clear — the same documented, insured discipline we bring to car parks and forecourts, applied to the largest exteriors we clean.

Request a site survey

The only honest way to price a warehouse or industrial façade is to come and walk it — the elevations, the height, the access, the phasing and the out-of-hours requirements all shape the job. Request a free site survey and we will visit anywhere across Chichester or West Sussex: Chichester (PO18, PO19), West Wittering, East Wittering, Bracklesham, Birdham, Itchenor and Selsey (PO20), out to Bognor Regis (PO21, PO22) and Emsworth (PO10) on the Hampshire border — assess the cladding, the access and the safety requirements, and come back with a written, no-obligation quote and a schedule that keeps the site working.

FAQs

Common questions about industrial cladding cleaning

Do you clean industrial cladding and warehouse façades across Chichester and West Sussex?
Yes — large-scale cladding and façade cleaning is our premium commercial line, and we cover the whole patch: Chichester (PO18, PO19), the harbour villages and Witterings (PO20), out to Bognor Regis (PO21/PO22) and Emsworth (PO10) on the Hampshire border. Whether it is a profiled-steel warehouse elevation, a factory or trade-unit façade, a distribution shed or a multi-bay industrial estate, we soft wash the cladding clean of algae, atmospheric grime, salt and traffic film so the building presents the way the business behind it wants to be seen. Tell us where the site is and we will come and survey it.
Why soft washing rather than high-pressure on industrial cladding?
Because pressure is the wrong tool for a large coated panel. Profiled steel, composite and aluminium cladding carry a factory paint or PVDF coating, and a high-pressure blast can drive water behind the panels, strip or dull that coating and force moisture into the building envelope. We use low-pressure soft washing instead: a biocidal treatment wets the cladding, kills the algae, lichen and atmospheric staining at the root, and is gently rinsed so the panels come back to an even colour without damaging the coating or the seals. It is the same chemical-free-leaning, surface-respecting approach we bring to delicate render and roofs across Chichester, scaled up to a full warehouse elevation.
How do you reach the high parts of a warehouse or factory façade safely?
With the right access equipment and a written plan for it. Depending on the elevation we work from MEWPs (cherry pickers and scissor lifts), telescopic reach poles fed by pure water, or scaffold where the site calls for it — chosen at the survey to suit the height, the ground and the access around the building. Every job runs to a method statement that covers working at height, exclusion zones beneath the work, and safe movement around a live industrial site. On the coast around Chichester, Selsey and Bognor that planning matters even more, because wind off the sea dictates when it is safe to put a platform up. We never improvise height access — it is surveyed, equipped and documented before anyone leaves the ground.
Can you work around a live warehouse or factory without stopping operations?
Yes, and on an industrial site that is usually the whole point. We plan large-scale façade cleaning around your operation — phasing the elevations, working out-of-hours or at quieter times, and keeping yards, loading bays, fire routes and HGV movements clear as we go. We liaise with your site or facilities manager on access, water, power, traffic and any permit-to-work requirements, segment the work so only one section is affected at a time, and keep the rest of the site running. Industrial estates and distribution sites across Chichester and Bognor are cleaned this way routinely — the building gets its face back without the business losing a shift.
Are you fully insured and do you provide RAMS for industrial façade work?
Yes. We are fully insured and provide RAMS — a risk assessment and method statement — for every commercial job, which is exactly what facilities managers, estate operators and health-and-safety officers require before large-scale or working-at-height work goes ahead. For warehouse and industrial façade cleaning that documentation covers working at height and access-equipment use, biocide handling and run-off control, exclusion zones, and safe working alongside live yard and vehicle movements. We will walk the site with you, agree access, water, power, phasing and out-of-hours timing, and come back with a written, no-obligation quote. From a single trade unit in the Witterings to a multi-elevation distribution shed in Chichester or Bognor, you get the same documented, insured, soft-wash service.
