Warehouse cladding, industrial units, retail frontages, office facades, and commercial roofs across Bedford. Priory Business Park, Kempston, Elstow, Interchange Retail Park, and Manton Industrial Estate covered. 5.0 stars on Google from 100 reviews. Full RAMS on every job.
Bedford is a place where Victorian industrial legacy beautifully blends with fast modern progress. Relics of the town's brickwork heritage, we see the commercial buildings with London brick and traditional masonry. Such surfaces need gentle, low-pressure cleaning. On the other hand, Priory Business Park, Kempston's industrial estates, and the expanding Elstow corridor feature modern steel-clad warehouses, glass-fronted offices, and composite-panel retail units that require a specific cleaning strategy.
No matter the property era, we can clean it. We understand that soft washing on a Victorian brick facade on the High Street is different from pressure washing 40,000 sq ft of metal cladding on an industrial estate. We carry £5 million public liability insurance, possess IPAF and CSCS certifications, and accompany each commercial job with full RAMS documentation. We don't request upfront deposits - you pay after job completion.

Kempston's industrial estates, Elstow Storage Depot, and Manton Industrial Estate house hundreds of warehouses and commercial units with metal, composite, and profiled sheet cladding. Over time, algae, oxidation, and atmospheric pollution alter the colour of panels and aggravate corrosion. The staining effects are even more obvious on light-coloured cladding.
For elevations up to 12 metres, we use telescopic poles to clean cladding. For taller buildings, we employ MEWP cherry picker access. For the AJB Group project in Corby, we had to clean 40,000 sq ft of metal cladding that has not been cleaned for more than two decades. We removed decades of weathering with controlled pressure washing and applied a DDAC biocide treatment to inhibit algae regrowth for 4-5 years.
Cladding cleaning from £800 for a standard industrial unit. Once we do a free site survey, we can also offer a free quote for large warehouses and multi-building contracts. As standard, we include the biocide treatment.
Bedford's commercial buildings are diverse, varying from flat-roofed warehouses in Kempston to pitched tile roofs on converted Victorian properties in the town centre. Moss, algae, lichen, and organic debris deposit on all roof types, clogging drainage channels, retaining moisture, and causing structural damage. Visitors and nearby businesses will make a poor impression when the commercial roof is dirty.
For safe work at height, we employ MEWP cherry picker access and scaffold towers. To remove all biological growth, we use controlled pressure washing, and we follow with DDAC biocide treatment to inhibit regrowth for 4-5 years. For the Partridges warehouse in Desborough, over the course of 3 days, we've completed cleaning the roof, cladding, gutters, and solar panels.
Commercial roof cleaning from £600 for small units, £1,200-£3,000 for warehouse-scale roofs. The price includes moss removal, pressure washing, biocide treatment, and before/after photography. All our operatives are IPAF certified.
Vehicle movements, tyre marks, oil drips, and foot traffic heavily impact high-traffic commercial surfaces in Bedford such as loading bays at Elstow Storage Depot, car parks at Interchange Retail Park, forecourts on the A6, and service yards across Kempston. Not only do the premises look unprofessional, but they also pose slip hazards.
To break down oil and grease, we don't use harsh chemicals; instead, we use hot water pressure washing at up to 150°C. For even coverage of extensive concrete and tarmac surfaces, we employ rotary surface cleaners. After cleaning block paving around retail frontages, we resand the joints. It will maintain structural integrity and inhibit weed regrowth.
Car park and hardstanding cleaning from £400. Once we complete the free site survey, we will provide a quote for loading bays and service yards, estimated at per square metre. If necessary, we also include oil-stain removal and chewing-gum treatment.
With Bedford being close to the River Great Ouse and mature trees surrounding properties, it's understandable why commercial gutters in the area clog faster than average. Silt, leaves, and moss deposit in box gutters on warehouses, causing water overflow, dampness, and interior leaks. Debris from nearby trees fills standard guttering on office buildings and retail units; the situation is even worse in autumn.
Using telescopic vacuum systems, we clear gutters and manually clear from MEWP access for larger buildings. To ensure clear drainage, we flush all downpipes. At the Partridges warehouse in Desborough, clearing more than 200 metres of heavily blocked box guttering was part of a 3-day full exterior cleaning job. For a clear record, we took photos of all gutters before and after our work.
Commercial gutter clearing from £300 for standard runs, £600-£1,500 for large warehouse box gutters. The pricing includes downpipe flushing. For quarterly or biannual planned clearing, maintenance contracts are available.
Energy costs are rising regularly, which explains why more commercial buildings in Bedford are installing rooftop solar arrays. Warehouses at Elstow, offices at Priory Business Park, and industrial units across Kempston increasingly feature large solar panel installations. If dirt, bird droppings, algae, and pollen accumulate on the solar panels, output can drop by 15-30%. Regular cleaning is a wise investment for commercial installations, generating significant energy savings.
Using pure water fed-pole systems, we clean commercial solar panels without leaving residue or chemical film that damages panel coatings. Based on the building, we employ MEWP access or walk the roof with harness systems if the arrays are mounted on the roof. At Partridges in Desborough, the exterior cleaning job was comprehensive and included cleaning an extensive rooftop solar array.
Commercial solar panel cleaning from £400 for roof-mounted arrays. Ground-mounted arrays quoted per panel count. Pure water system and before/after photography included.
Bedford's commercial frontages vary a lot, from Victorian brick on the High Street and Midland Road to modern render and composite panels at Priory Business Park and Bedford Heights. We choose the right cleaning strategy for each material. For rendered surfaces and painted facades, we employ soft washing. To protect mortar joints, we turn to low-pressure washing for historic brick, and achieve a streak-free glass and signage with pure water systems.
Our teams use telescopic poles to clean illuminated signs, fascia panels, and canopy structures and MEWP access whenever necessary. To minimise disruption to your business and keep it open while we clean, we can work around your operational hours. For instance, we've cleaned the Farmfoods supermarket in Plymouth, but the store remained open throughout our cleaning. We can do so for any occupied commercial property in Bedford.
Frontage cleaning from £300 for a single shop unit. Office block and retail park facades from £800. Full-frontal packages also include signage cleaning, canopy washing, and entrance-area pressure washing.
Free site survey. Detailed written quote, with no hidden fees or upfront deposits. £5M insurance, IPAF certified, RAMS on every job.
To maintain the exterior of residential blocks, student accommodation, and multi-building housing estates, we partner with local councils, housing associations, and property management companies. Over 2024-2025, we've conducted a council housing render cleaning programme for Northampton City Council, which included several blocks across the city.
For residential block managers, our services include: cleaning render at all elevations, pressure washing communal areas, cleaning car park and pathways, clearing gutters and cleaning fascia, and roof moss treatment. Residential clients receive the same RAMS documentation, COSHH data sheets, and written reports that commercial customers receive. You don't have to worry about complying with requirements.
We carefully plan our cleaning around residents - we create controlled work zones near entrances and walkways, don't disrupt parking or access, and inform tenants of our cleaning schedule. For regular quarterly or annual cleaning programmes, we offer maintenance contracts.

Documentation, insurance, and planning are vital for commercial exterior cleaning. Every commercial job in Bedford comes with the following:
Before we start cleaning, we prepare the full Risk Assessments and Method Statements. Access methods, equipment, chemicals, weather conditions, and any site-specific risks are included. Before we come to the site, we will send it to the facilities manager for approval.
For every product we use on site, we offer chemical safety data sheets. For organic growth treatment, we use DDAC-based biocides, and for soft washing, we use biodegradable cleaning solutions. We will provide comprehensive safety paperwork well in advance.
We take photos of every elevation before and after our cleaning. Clients receive a written report detailing our work, the products used, and any maintenance issues we discovered during our cleaning. The report is valuable for landlords, property managers, and compliance records.
Full £5 million public liability insurance. The RAMS pack also includes certificates. All of our operatives working at height possess IPAF and CSCS certifications for working at height on MEWP and scaffold towers.
Cleaning on weekends, evenings, and out-of-hours is a standard for our commercial jobs. We're flexible and work around delivery schedules, shift patterns, and trading hours. We plan around your staff and visitors when cleaning occupied offices at Priory Business Park.
We arrive at the site, examine every surface, and provide a transparent, written estimate. We don't take upfront deposits or give quotes over the phone. You pay after we complete the job to your standards.
Our portfolio includes large-scale commercial and council projects throughout the region. Sites in Bedford benefit from the same team, equipment, and methods.
40,000 sq ft of metal cladding on Earlstrees Industrial Estate. For more than two decades, the building had not been cleaned. Using telescopic poles and controlled pressure washing, we've completed the cleaning job in 3 days. The cladding was looking like new, and we applied a DDAC biocide to inhibit algae regrowth for 4-5 years.
View the AJB Group project“The building hadn't been cleaned for over 20 years and after Exterior Cleaning Solutions had finished it looked brand new. Very professional and work extremely hard until you are completely satisfied.”
We've conducted a multi-property render-cleaning programme across Northampton council housing blocks. To remove heavy algae and atmospheric staining from rendered facades, we employed soft washing. For durable protection, we've applied a DDAC biocide. We've completed dozens of properties across the programme and provided comprehensive RAMS documentation on every job.
