During the past few years cleaning technology has developed appreciably. Whilst the reasons for cleaning - maintenance or aesthetics - have not changed, cleaning a facade remains one of the most economic means of improving the appearance and hence increasing the value of a property.

For maintenance, regular cleaning is an important factor in reducing long term expenditure by replacing or repairing materials which fail due to surface contamination from atmospheric pollutants. The selection of the appropriate method is critical. Each building and indeed each facade may require various cleaning techniques. Inappropriate methods and the use of untrained or semi-skilled site operatives can lead to irreparable damage.
