Cladding Softwashing Cleaning

Cladding Cleaning Company

When it comes to cleaning cladding, Softwashing UK recommends softwashing over traditional pressure washing for a more effective and long-lasting result. Softwashing not only protects your building’s exterior but also provides a more thorough clean, especially when dealing with delicate materials such as wood, laminate, or composite finishes.

Cladding is the protective outer layer of a building, made from a variety of materials including wood, concrete, uPVC, aluminium, composite, stainless steel, and even glass. Over time, cladding can deteriorate due to organic growth, oxidation, atmospheric pollutants, and other contaminants. Softwashing is the ideal solution to clean and restore cladding, ensuring it stays in top condition for years to come.

Why Choose Softwashing for Cladding Cleaning?
Unlike pressure washing, which can cause damage to delicate surfaces, softwashing uses low-pressure water combined with environmentally friendly cleaning solutions. This method gently removes dirt, algae, moss, mould, and other organic stains, without risking surface damage. Whether your cladding is made of wood, laminate, or metal, Softwashing UK has the right approach to bring your building back to life.

Our cleaning process may involve the use of DDAC biocides for wood cladding, which effectively eliminate organic growth while preserving the integrity of the wood. For other materials like aluminium or uPVC, we use high-quality degreasers and traffic film removers to restore the cladding’s original appearance. We can also apply specialist restorative creams or surfactants to remove oxidation or hard water stains.

Cost-Effective Cladding Cleaning Services
At Softwashing UK, we understand the importance of keeping costs low while delivering outstanding results. Our low-pressure technology allows us to clean cladding from the ground level using water-fed poles, eliminating the need for costly scaffolding or cherry pickers in many cases. We can clean surfaces up to 60 feet high, saving both time and money, while ensuring the job is completed safely and effectively.

When cleaning wood and laminate cladding, we take extra care to assess the surface for cracks in varnish or paint, which could allow moisture to penetrate and cause further damage. We use the appropriate biocides or clement products to ensure a thorough, safe clean for your cladding surfaces.

Environmentally Friendly Cladding Cleaning Solutions
Our softwashing solutions are 100% biodegradable and eco-friendly, ensuring that your building is not only cleaned but also protected from harmful chemicals. Unlike high-pressure washing, which can sometimes cause damage and is not suitable for sensitive materials like wood, softwashing removes stains and eliminates the root cause of biological contamination, offering longer-lasting results.

Why Softwashing Is the Best Option for Cladding Cleaning
High-pressure washing can be effective for certain types of cladding, but it comes with significant risks, especially when working at height or on delicate materials. The force of high-pressure water can damage finishes, compromise structural integrity, and even worsen stains. With softwashing, we use a gentler approach, which not only protects the cladding but also delivers superior results that last longer.

Why Choose Softwashing UK For Cladding Cleaning?

Cladding is a key feature of many modern commercial buildings, offering both protection and aesthetic appeal. However, exposure to pollution, weather, algae, and general grime can leave cladding looking dull, stained, and aged — undermining your building’s appearance and reputation. That’s where Softwashing UK comes in.

We provide expert cladding cleaning services using our specialised soft wash technology — a safe, effective, and non-abrasive solution suitable for all cladding types.

1. Safe, Non-Abrasive Soft Wash Technology
Unlike high-pressure washing, which can damage or strip coatings on metal, plastic, and composite panels, our soft wash method uses low-pressure application and biodegradable solutions. This gently lifts dirt, algae, and pollutants without harming the surface or seals.

2. Long-Lasting Results
Our soft wash system penetrates into textured or porous cladding surfaces, eliminating organic growth at the root. This not only cleans but prevents regrowth, giving your building a fresher appearance for longer and reducing the frequency of future cleans.

3. Suitable for All Cladding Materials
Whether your building features metal (aluminium, steel), plastic (uPVC), fibre cement, or composite cladding, our cleaning process is tailored to each surface type. No damage, no streaking — just a safe, even clean every time.

4. Remove Algae, Moss, Traffic Film & Stains
We don’t just rinse the dirt away — we treat it. Our biocidal solutions remove algae, moss, lichen, and traffic film buildup caused by pollution. This restores the original colour and look of your cladding, improving your property’s curb appeal.

5. Fully Trained & Insured Commercial Technicians
Our team is experienced with commercial access systems, chemical handling, and cladding material care. We’re fully trained, insured, and equipped to handle projects of all sizes — from retail parks and schools to warehouses and office buildings.

6. Environmentally Responsible & Safe
We use pH-neutral, biodegradable cleaning agents that are safe for the environment and the people working in or around your building. Our system minimises runoff and complies with all current environmental regulations.

7. Flexible Scheduling for Minimal Disruption
We understand the importance of business continuity. Our team offers out-of-hours, weekend, or phased cleaning services to minimise disruption to your daily operations.

8. Protect & Prolong the Life of Your Cladding
Regular cleaning helps protect your cladding investment by preventing corrosion, discolouration, and premature ageing. Our service enhances your building’s appearance, maintains property value, and reduces the need for costly repairs or replacements.
