Height and how we reach it
Floors reached from the ground with poles are priced differently from ones that need rope access or a cradle. The access method is the biggest single factor, and we settle it at the survey.
Building Facade Cleaning Company for glass, cladding, and stone
A facade in Jeddah faces the sea air before it faces the dust. Salt carried in the humidity settles on the glass and dries as a fine white film, then the dust binds to it, and the rain streaks it downward. By the time it looks dirty from the street, the film has already started to etch into the surface. A rinse from a hose does not lift this. Fed-water washing and the right technique do.
- A crew used to working at height
- Price agreed before the crew starts
- Access gear and fed-water poles we bring
- Missed areas redone the same visit
When does a facade actually need cleaning?
The street view is the last sign, not the first. If one of these fits your building, it is already overdue.
-
A white haze across the glass
Salt carried in the sea humidity dries on the glass as a fine film. It is not dirt you can wipe off with a cloth, it needs the right water and technique, and left alone it begins to etch the surface.
-
Streaks running below every sill
Rain and condensation carry the film downward and leave vertical stains under window sills and ledges. These set darker over time and are the first thing visible from the street.
-
Dust caked into textured stone
Rough stone and stamped surfaces trap dust deep in the grain. A surface wipe cleans the high points and leaves the recesses dark, so the wall reads as patchy rather than clean.
-
A dark film on the shaded side
The side that stays damp and out of the sun grows a dark biological film. It spreads slowly and blends in, so it is usually missed until the two faces of the building no longer match.
-
Signage and logo gone dull
The company sign is what a visitor reads first. Dust and film flatten its color and make lit signs look dim even when the lighting behind them is fine.
-
Darkened lines along the joints
The sealant lines between panels collect grime and darken, drawing a grid across the facade. Cleaning them back is what makes the whole surface read as one again.
What the service includes, and what it does not
The second list is the one that prevents disputes, it is usually in small print, or not written at all.
-
Material survey before anything
Glass, cladding, and stone each take different handling, so we identify the surface and the access route first.
-
Cleaner tested out of sight
The product goes on a hidden corner first, so we see how the surface reacts before it touches the whole facade.
-
Loose dust rinsed off first
Nothing is scrubbed until the dry dust is rinsed away, because scrubbing grit into glass and paint leaves scratches.
-
Each surface, its own cleaner
A neutral product on glass and aluminum, something different on stone, rather than one cleaner run over everything.
-
Final rinse with pure water
Deionized water dries off the glass without leaving the chalky spotting that tap water leaves behind.
-
Lime scale and bird droppings treated
Each gets its own product before the general rinse, since a rinse on its own will not shift them.
Not included
- Repair or replacement of cracked glass or damaged panels
- Resealing or replacing failed joint sealant
- Removal of permanent etching, scratches, or acid damage in the glass
- Painting, coating, or waterproofing the facade
- Repair of window frames, fixings, or anchor points
If your facade has one of these, we say so at the survey, not after payment. In most cases we point you to the right trade even when the work is not ours.
How a facade is actually cleaned
The order matters more than the products. Cleaning bottom-up, or scrubbing before rinsing, is what leaves a facade streakier than it started.
-
1
We read the building first
Glass, composite cladding, and stone are not cleaned the same way, and each floor is reached differently. We map the surfaces and the access before anyone starts.
-
2
Top down, always
Dirty water runs downward. Starting at the top means the runoff falls onto surfaces not yet cleaned, instead of restreaking ones already finished.
-
3
Loosen before we touch
A rinse lifts the loose dust first. Scrubbing a dry, gritty surface grinds that grit into the glass and leaves fine scratches that catch the light.
-
4
Glass and frames in one pass
The frame and the glass are washed together, so the dirt held in the frame does not wash back down over the clean pane the moment it dries.
-
5
Cladding and stone by their own material
Metal panels, composite, and stone each take a different approach and a different pressure. The joints are worked separately from the faces.
-
6
A walk-around with you
We go around the building with you before the crew leaves. Anything you point to is redone in the same visit.
What decides the price
We do not publish a fixed figure, because cases genuinely differ. These are the factors we ask about, so you know where your job sits before you call.
The mix of surfaces
An all-glass tower is priced differently from a facade of stone, metal, and signage. More surface types means more methods on the same visit.
How long since the last clean
A facade cleaned on a schedule releases its film easily. One left for years may need a second pass on the set-in staining, and we say so before we start.
Special staining
Runoff stains, biological film on the shaded side, or construction residue take extra work. These are priced with the rest, not sprung on you after.
Access hours
Some buildings can only be worked outside business hours or at night. Scheduling around your tenants is factored in up front.
Send photos of the facade and its height on WhatsApp, along with the address, and you get an estimated price and time before you commit to anything.
In-house cleaner, or a crew with access gear?
It is a fair question, and a building handyman can reach the ground floor. Here is the real difference, not the sales pitch.
Reach
Ground floor and whatever a ladder allows
Upper floors by pole, rope access, or cradle
The salt film
A hose rinse leaves it on the glass
Fed-water washing that lifts it
Grit scratching
Dry wiping drags grit across the pane
Loose dust rinsed off before contact
Streaks after
Bottom-up cleaning restreaks the glass
Top-down so runoff falls on unwashed surface
Working at height
Risk falls on an untrained worker
A crew used to height with its own gear
If a spot is missed
It waits for the next time someone is free
Redone in the same visit
Why us for this service
We survey before we quote
Reading the surfaces and the access first is not optional. A price given without seeing the building is a price that changes on site, and we would rather it did not.
A crew used to height arrives together
We send a crew, not one worker with a ladder. A tall facade is finished in one visit instead of dragged across several.
Our own access and fed-water gear
The poles, water system, and access equipment come with the crew. No waiting because the gear is at another site.
We say no when it is no
If the facade needs sealant work or panel repair rather than cleaning, we say so. A visit that is not needed costs us more in trust than it earns.
Our work
Photographs from real jobs carried out by the crew.
The job is not closed until you have seen it
The commitment is simple enough to actually keep: we do not leave before you have walked the facade and given your view on it.
- A walk-around with you before the crew leaves
- Anything you point to is redone in the same visit, with no new invoice
- The agreed price is what you pay, any addition is quoted before it is done, not after
- If the crew is delayed, we tell you before the appointment, not after
Three written commitments
You know the price before we start
We look at the job and agree the figure before any work begins, and nothing is added to it afterwards. If the scope changes during the visit we stop and ask you before carrying on.
A handover walk before we leave
At the end of the visit we walk the place with you. Anything you point at is redone in the same visit, not booked for another one, and at no extra cost.
We keep the time, and tell you if we cannot
We arrive when we said we would. If that becomes impossible you hear it before the appointment rather than after, because waiting without knowing how long is worse than a delay you were told about.
Questions before you book
Do you clean facades on occupied buildings?
Yes. Most of the buildings we clean are occupied and working. We schedule around your hours, early mornings, weekends, or nights, and cordon off the ground below the work area so tenants and passers-by are kept clear.
Will the cleaning damage the glass or sealant?
Not when it is matched to the surface. We suit the water, pressure, and method to each material, and we test on a small area first. What we will not do is claim to fix glass that is already etched or sealant that has already failed, those are repairs, and we tell you at the survey.
How often should a facade be cleaned?
It depends on the side of the building and how close you are to the sea. A seafront face films up faster than a sheltered one. We suggest a schedule at the survey based on your building, not a fixed calendar.
Do you use rope access or a cradle?
Whichever the building allows. Reachable floors are done with fed-water poles from the ground; higher or awkward areas by rope access or the building's own cradle. We settle the method at the survey so the price reflects it.
Can you clean the signage and logo too?
Yes. Signs and logos are cleaned along with the facade, since they are usually the dirtiest and the most seen. Lit signs look dim under film, and clearing it is often what makes the biggest visible difference.
Should we wash the facade right after a sandstorm?
Yes, and the sooner the better. A facade coated with fresh dust rinses more easily than one where the dust has bound to old salt. If you clean on a schedule, a post-storm rinse is quicker and cheaper than letting it set.
