Cleaning and Restoring Apartment Blocks with Softwashing UK

At Softwashing UK, we specialise in large-scale projects, such as cleaning and restoring apartment blocks. While we also carry out small domestic cleaning tasks, we have the expertise and resources to handle jobs of any size.

Cleaning apartment blocks can be a complex task, requiring careful consideration of several key factors. Here are the four essential aspects we focus on when undertaking a cleaning project of this scale.

How to Clean Apartment Blocks - The Right MEthod and Chemicals

The first and simplest step in the cleaning process is choosing the right method and chemicals to use for the job. At Softwashing UK, we carry out a thorough site survey to assess all the substrates involved, including render, stone, and cladding. We will identify the cause of any discolouration and determine the best way to remove it. Our team will also advise on any further maintenance that might be required. While rare, repainting or repairs may sometimes be necessary, but we always aim to avoid any additional time or costs.

Cleaning Apartment Blocks - Considerations for Multiple households

Apartment blocks, by nature, house multiple separate households, and this can make the cleaning process more challenging. Softwashing UK will ensure that the residents are fully informed about the cleaning process, especially regarding how access, ventilation, gardens, and parking may be affected during the work. We can also handle all communication with the residents on your behalf, ensuring minimal disruption and that the job runs smoothly, as planned.

Cleaning Apartment Blocks - Access Challenges

While we always aim to clean apartment blocks from the safety of the ground where possible, there are instances where this is not practical or advisable. In these cases, we will advise you on how we will access higher elevations. As specialists in working at height, we are experienced in using various access methods, including scaffolding, MEWPs (Mobile Elevated Work Platforms), or abseiling. We will choose the most efficient and cost-effective method, and provide you with detailed, itemised quotations to ensure transparency.

Cleaning Apartment Blocks - Health and Safety Considerations

When working with chemicals and adhering to COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) regulations, there are various health and safety matters that need to be managed. At Softwashing UK, we work in compliance with CDM (Construction Design and Management) regulations and will provide you with a comprehensive Construction Phase Plan, along with Risk Assessments and Method Statements as required. You can also request to see our credentials and insurance documents for peace of mind. Rest assured, we are committed to completing your apartment block cleaning project safely and efficiently, without any issues.
