Why They Called us?
After a long period of time exposed to the outside elements, external cladding begins to lost its colour and pollutants, including dirt, lichen and a variety of other materials begin to damage the surface of the cladding. If left unchecked, this can develop into permeant damage in the form of staining of the surface, requiring expensive restorations..jpg)
However, WindowPro’s highly experienced team offers its industrial cladding cleaning in Manchester service, to clean any exterior surface to perfection. Through over 15 years of experience Window Pro has tackled hundreds of external industrial cleaning problems and has both the equipment and the methods to provided industry standard results on a consistent basis. Our team utilises the most effective tools available to safely clean the cladding and extend its lifetime.
As part of our industrial cladding cleaning in Manchester service, our team makes use of high power jet washers, water-fed poles, highly specific alkaline and acid detergents and a variety of other tools to give our team the flexibility to tackle any problem. We use this flexibility when approaching a issues, appreciating the unique nature of each and every issues, and after assessing probable causes of the issue, as well a likely treatments, the team will begin the treatment, altering the approach when necessary. Recently, the team completed a full industrial cladding cleaning in Manchester on an industrial park. This job required careful management of the public, and constant close liaison was kept with management to ensure the safety of workers.
Mitigating Problems
Following this, the team produced a risk assessment to set forward our plan to mitigate any of the possible problems that may arise over the course of the job. Following an assessment of the condition of the cladding the team began to apply a detergent to the surface of the cladding, using a water-fed pole to cover the façade and ensure that the treatment was as effective as possible. Then, the team began to use the high power pressure washer, which was extremely effective at removing the imbedded dirt and lichen growth on the surface.
In our experience industrial cladding cleaning in Manchester, the tandem use of the detergent, to disrupt the membrane of lichen and dirt and to weaken its bond to the surface of the cladding, and then the use of the high powered pressure washer solves most problems that commonly afflict cladding. The team also cleaned the windows of the areas of the building that had been washed, applying first an alkaline detergent to the windows surface and frame to remove the deeply embedded dirt from the windows surface.
Rejuvinating Byuilding
The team cleaned a number of entire buildings over the course of the week, with the cladding being rejuvenated back to its original health, with the entire job bring completed safely, on time and to a very high standard. The team also applied a protective coating to the surface of the cladding, to extend the life of the clean and gave advice to the owners of the buildings of how to protect their cladding from future pollutants. On this job we encountered a number of the recurring issues we see as part of our industrial cladding cleaning in Manchester services.
The most common being ground in dirt and lichen that usually require a simple chemical wash to remove, other organic growth, most often airborne require more specialised biocides. Marks left on the cladding by poor drainage are often the most difficult to alleviate, with the cladding needing intensive treatment to really permeate the surface and remove the stain.
