Aluminium window and door frames are very common. We clean aluminium window frames and door frames regularly. Lightweight yet robust the material gives a professional finish, and can be easily painted in many colours to meet design standards. Unfortunately aluminium frames can be subject to deterioration, the first stage of which is a chalky residue, difficult to remove, which left untreated is expensive to repaint. As it builds up these residues are unsightly and have a negative effect on curb appeal. Aluminium frames are also subject to UV damage. Fortunately Softwashing UK remove residues entirely, and protect frames from sunlight and UV, so that there is no need for costly repainting. We get aluminium frames looking as good as new.
Softwashing UK specialise in cleaning aluminium frames, and removing damaging residues, no matter how high up the frames are located. All our operatives are trained, insured, and qualified, to work at height, and we will use the most appropriate method to scale up to the windows- be that ladder, scaffold tower, or cherry picker.
High pressure cleaning is not appropriate for cleaning window frames, the chalky residues may not be removed even with pressure, and the jets can cause damage and leak in through the windows, at Softwashing UK we use the recommended method. We use a three stage process to clean aluminium frames. Having first inspected for damage we will rinse with pure water, pumped through our low pressure system. This ensures any drops or splashes will not stain or mar glass panes. We will then blend a bio-friendly detergent cream, used specifically for aluminium, and apply this across the surface by hand, using a special pad. This cream totally removes the typical residues, and its light detergent base cleanses and kills other lingering bacteria and organisms. This process not only cleans the aluminium, but gives a deep polish to the surface, and the frames will have a real shine, like they day they were installed. We then finish the job with a second pure water rinse.

Aluminium windows and door frames are a popular choice for commercial buildings due to their sleek appearance, durability, and low maintenance. However, over time, exposure to pollution, oxidation, and weather can leave aluminium frames looking dull, stained, and streaked. That’s where Softwashing UK comes in.
We offer professional aluminium cleaning services using specialist soft wash technology — a safe, effective alternative to abrasive cleaning methods.
1. Specialist Soft Wash System for Aluminium Surfaces
Traditional high-pressure methods can damage powder coatings or anodised finishes on aluminium.

Thank you very much! Paul Welsh2025-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve used Softwashing a number of times over the past few years to clean the exterior of our house, gutters and patio. Every time it has been a fantastic service, always going above and beyond, whether it’s attacking a stubborn rust stain or taking time to explain the process. We have recommended them to friends and neighbours and using them every year is testament to how happy we are with the work they do. Thanks!

The service was great, Gavin arrived on the dot of eight o’clock and he then talked me through the process before starting. He worked diligently using a range of different techniques to address the various issues. At the end the render looked like new! Would definitely recommend and will have them back again when it needs doing again! Peter Grant2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a director of and on behalf of Wardour Court Management Company and residents I wish to record our thanks to Gavin and his team. The property is a sensitive building constructed of Chilmark stone, it had not been cleaned for some time and was looking the worse for wear. They were all extremely efficient and professional as well as very pleasant and easy to talk to despite the difficulties they encountered, which included having to work 17 hours on one of the days. All the residents I have spoken to have expressed how pleased they are with the result, as are the directors of Wardour Court Management Co. We would happily use this company again and are equally happy to recommend them to others. Ann Grant Jewellery2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gavin and his team recently cleaned the Chilmark stone courtyard mews where I live. The stone was in dire need of cleaning and proved to be a very difficult job including one 17 hour day. Despite the difficulties he and his team remained pleasant, friendly and very professional leaving us with what I can only describe as a transformation ... our ugly duckling has become a swan. I can't thank them enough for their dedication and would happily recommend him and his company. City Stays sw Ltd2025-02-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of our properties, which is a rental, was a complete eye sore on the exterior surfaces, which needed rectifying before it was able to go back on the rental market. After ringing around different companies, Softwashing UK stood out and understood our requirements. Softwashing UK Soft wash cleaned 15 years' worth of bad organic staining from our K-Rend render, brickwork, and all rain water goods to the property. We honestly could not believe the results that were achieved. The render now looks like the day we had it rendered. On the day of the work ne carried out, the guys turned up on time and carried out the job respectfully and professionally. It's great to see good tradesmen still exist. We highly recommend the soft wash service they offer, and we will be sure to recommend Softwashing UK our friends and family's. James C2025-01-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very pleased with the job. Very professional.
