Cladding is used in both domestic and commercial building. Cladding is the weatherproof surface used to protect the structural framework of building. At Power Washing Services Ireland we have extensive cladding cleaning experience. It can come in many materials- wood and laminate finishes are increasingly popular, while traditional cladding surfaces come finished in concrete, plastic (uPVC), aluminium, composite, stainless steel or glass. As cladding is weatherproof and designed to be robust, high pressure washing is sometimes perceived to be an option. While this may be the case sometimes, high pressure washing on some cladding surfaces can lead to long term damage.

Cleaning cladding regularly however will make sure that it maintains its appearance, and avoid the build-up of organic staining which can ruin a building’s curb appeal. Clean cladding will present your building in the right light, so that staff and customers get the right impression. It has been proven time and time again that untenanted commercial properties rent or sell far quicker if a building exterior is as clean and presentable as possible.

At Power Washing Services Ireland, we take all necessary precautions to keep costs down- and the benefits of cleaning to the max. Our pressure technology, when combined with our products to clean and remove staining, means we can often use water fed poles to reach up onto a building and clean it from ground level. When tackling cladding cleaning we avoid strong alkali solutions which can lead to surface deterioration, and opt instead for clement products or traditional biocides, but the exact mix all depends on the job at hand. Wood finish and laminate cladding is now immensely popular. We carefully analyse wooden cladding surfaces before cleaning to see if varnish, paint, or other parts of the surface are cracked, as this may let humidity enter under the surface causing troubles later on, as damp will permeate out causing stains. We offer total cleaning of cladding surfaces, thorough and in depth, to remove algae, moss, mould and organic growth and staining of all types.
