Exterior Cleaning for Commercial & Industrial Properties

We clean the exteriors of warehouses, schools, retail parks, care homes, restaurants, offices, and industrial facilities across Northamptonshire and surrounding areas. AJB Group (Corby), Partridges (Desborough), Lung Wah Chong (Oxford), Farmfoods (Plymouth), and Northampton City Council are some of our commercial clients.

Every commercial job includes a free site survey and full RAMS documentation, COSHH data sheets for all used chemicals. Clients also receive a written report with before/after photos. We have £5 million public liability insurance and IPAF and CSCS certifications for safe work at height with scaffold tower access and MEWP (cherry picker).

We are flexible and will work around your operations - weekends, evenings, and out-of-hours. We don't request upfront deposits. You will pay after we complete the job and you are satisfied with the results.

“AJB Group, commercial building full exterior cleaning, 40,000 sq ft. 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.”

Types of Commercial Properties We Clean

We select the right method for each material and work around your operational hours.

Warehouses & Industrial Units

Warehouse cleaning covers metal cladding, corrugated roofing, extraction systems, loading bays, and surrounding hardstanding. Our professionals have cleaned warehouse exteriors as big as 40,000 sq ft. Our previous jobs include: the AJB Group warehouse in Corby (wasn't cleaned for 20+ years and we restored in 3 days), the Partridges warehouse in Desborough (we only needed 3 days to clean the roof, cladding, box gutters, and solar panels), and the Lung Wah Chong warehouse in Oxford (full exterior cleaning, including roofline, all-around cladding, and driveway).

Retail Parks, Shopping Centres & Shop Fronts

Count on us for cleaning the exterior of frontages, canopies, car parks, signage, and customer-facing areas. We can clean around trading hours, so businesses don't have to close. For instance, we've cleaned the Farmfoods supermarket in Plymouth. The store remained open while we cleaned the corrugated metal roof, cladding, canopy, frontage, and nearby hard surfaces.

Restaurants, Hotels & Hospitality

We clean frontages, outdoor dining areas, entrance canopies, and signage. A clean exterior makes a positive impression on clients before they walk through the door. Our teams can come during service hours, and our cleaning won't disrupt your activities.

“We recently had Exterior Cleaning Solutions visit our restaurant, and we couldn't be happier with the results. They came all the way from Northampton and were professional, efficient, and thorough from start to finish.”

Schools, Colleges & Educational Facilities

We clean building facades, playgrounds, sports courts, entrance areas, and canopies. Using jet washing and pressure washing, we clean hard surfaces, and employ soft washing on rendered or painted walls.

To minimise disruption to educational activities, we plan cleaning for weekends or holidays. We provide comprehensive RAMS documentation to meet school compliance requirements. Our cleaning job can also include: cleaning playground markings, removing chewing gum from paths, and pressure washing car parks and drop-off areas.

Care Homes & Healthcare Facilities

We complete exterior cleaning jobs for multi-building complexes with mixed roofing, cladding, and render surfaces. Our teams control dust and noise levels and plan access to restricted areas. One of our jobs was to clean a care home in Chinnor, Oxfordshire - several two- and three-storey buildings. We've manually scraped and steam cleaned exterior surfaces as we have MEWP access for safe working at height.

Office Buildings & Business Parks

We efficiently clean facades, entrance areas, car parks, and communal spaces. Our operatives use scaffold and MEWP access when cleaning the exterior surfaces of multi-storey buildings. One of the ways to keep a commercial property's value high and tenants content is regular exterior maintenance.

Forecourts & Dealerships

Our teams clean canopies, degrease hardstandings, wash signage, and pressure wash forecourts. To remove oil spills, tyre marks, and fuel stains from concrete and tarmac, we employ hot water pressure washing and steam cleaning.

How Commercial Exterior Cleaning Works

£5M public liability insurance. IPAF and CSCS certified. RAMS on every job. 100 five-star Google reviews.

Free Site Survey & Quote

On the scheduled day, we arrive at your property, assess the exterior surfaces, take photos, and, if necessary, collect information about access requirements. You will receive a detailed, transparent, and written quote on the same day - no guesswork over the phone. You will pay the price we quote, with no hidden extras.

RAMS & Documentation

You will receive comprehensive Risk Assessments and Method Statements, COSHH data sheets for all chemicals used and a timetable confirmed by your site representative. It's standard practice for us to meet facilities management and H&S compliance requirements.

Cleaning & Treatment

We will bring pressure washers, MEWP, scaffold towers, cherry pickers, extendable poles, pure water systems, steam cleaners, and, briefly put, everything we need for the cleaning job. Our team always select the right method for the surface. Protecting vegetation and covering drains is the first thing we do. We manage wastewater properly and have minimal disruption to your operations.

Inspection, Report & Maintenance Plan

After we clean, we conduct a final walk-around with your site representative. We will also hand you a written report with before-and-after photos and inform you of any maintenance problems we discovered while cleaning. We can recommend a cleaning schedule according to your building materials and environment. Typically, professional cleaning is necessary every 6-18 months, with exposure affecting the frequency directly.

AJB Group warehouse before cleaning - 20+ years of weathering, Corby

Case Study: AJB Group Warehouse - Corby

Problem

40,000 sq ft warehouse with light-coloured metal cladding that hasn't been cleaned for more than 20 years. Algae staining, severe weathering, and discolouration affected all elevations of the building. The client expected a refreshment of the facility's appearance.

Method

On all cladding elevations, our technicians used controlled pressure washing with extendable poles. We followed cleaning with a DDAC biocide treatment. For the surrounding hardstanding, we've employed pressure washing. It only took us 3 days to complete the cleaning job, and we didn't even disrupt site operations.

Result

“The building hadn't been cleaned for over 20 years and after Exterior Cleaning Solutions had finished it looked brand new.” - Amarjit Binji, AJB Group

What Commercial Clients Say

Rated 5.0 out of 5 on Google from 100 verified reviews.

“Exterior Cleaning Solutions did a fantastic job on my commercial unit. They handled the exterior and cladding with real efficiency, and the building looked incredible afterwards. They even cleaned the roof thoroughly - these guys know exactly what they're doing.”

Oliver Coughlan - Commercial unit

“Looked for someone to clean the exterior of my business after being let down several times by others. Contacted Pete, he turned up on time, worked very hard all day and produced an excellent job. Thoroughly cleaned to a high standard.”

Thomas Smyth - Business exterior

“We have a commercial unit in Northampton that we needed someone with the right expertise to come in and clean it top to bottom. He transformed the whole unit into a much brighter and inviting commercial outlet. We have a few other outlets, so we expect to see you again soon.”

Phil - Multi-site commercial, Northampton

“Peter done a full builders clean on our big complex that we finished building. Pete and his team washed away all cement debris left by the builders. They worked 15 hours straight, 2 days in a row. A massive effort, and the building looks ready to go. Incredible work!”

Residential Block and Housing Association Cleaning

We partner with local councils, housing associations, and property management companies to maintain the exteriors of residential blocks, student accommodation, and multi-building housing estates. Over 2024-2025, we've conducted a council housing render cleaning programme for Northampton City Council, which covered several blocks across the city.

Cleaning render across all elevations, pressure washing communal areas, cleaning car parks and pathways, gutter clearance and fascia cleaning, and treating roof moss are services we provide for residential block managers. We offer the same RAMS documentation, COSHH data sheets, and written reports that commercial clients receive - helping residential block managers meet compliance requirements.

We plan the cleaning around residents - controlled work zones near entrances and walkways, without disrupting parking or access, and informing tenants before we come. For regular quarterly or annual cleaning programmes, we offer maintenance contracts.

Commercial Cleaning Services at Scale

For commercial and industrial properties, we employ methods, access equipment, and planning different from those for residential jobs. Here's our strategy for each service at scale.

Commercial Pressure Washing

To clean building exteriors, car parks, loading bays, forecourts, paths, and hardstanding, we employ high-pressure and hot-water pressure washing. We remove oil stains, tyre marks, fuel spills, chewing gum, moss, and algae from concrete, tarmac, and block paving. Building exteriors benefit from controlled pressure with extendable telescopic poles. Whenever possible, we clean the cladding, render, and brick from ground level. We employ MEWP (cherry picker) access if not possible.

Commercial pressure washing is our most sought-after commercial service. We've refreshed warehouse yards in Corby, supermarket car parks in Plymouth, school playgrounds across Northamptonshire, and commercial forecourts across Oxfordshire with pressure washing.

Industrial Roof Cleaning

We select the right cleaning method for each roof type, whether it's flat felt roofs, corrugated metal roofing, pitched slate, or concrete tile. Our teams pressure wash corrugated panels with rotary surface cleaners for even coverage and a streak-free finish. We manually scrape slates and tiles and continue with low-pressure soft washing. All commercial roof cleans also include DDAC biocide treatment. As a result, moss and algae won't grow back for 2-4 years.

For safe working at height, we use MEWPs and scaffold towers on all industrial roof-cleaning jobs. At the Farmfoods supermarket in Plymouth, cleaning the corrugated roof channels required more time than flat panels. Cleaning the roofs across several buildings and dependencies at the care home in Chinnor spanned over several days. Whether it's a warehouse roof or a multi-building commercial site, we have the equipment and certifications to safely clean roofs of all sizes.

Industrial Cladding & Metal Facade Cleaning

We clean metal panels, composite cladding, render, and metal facade systems on commercial buildings. Our operatives employ controlled pressure washing with extendable telescopic poles on elevations up to 12 metres. We turn to MEWP for anything taller than that. For even coverage on profiled panels, we employ rotary surface cleaners. We follow cleaning with a DDAC biocide treatment that prevents algae regrowth on metal surfaces for 4-5 years.

The AJB Group facility in Corby hasn't been cleaned for more than 20 years. Here, our job was to clean 40,000 sq ft of metal cladding. In just 3 days, we've done two things: refreshed the surfaces and not disrupted site operations. High pressure would have damaged the render and painted facade surfaces, so we've employed soft washing. For tall commercial buildings where MEWP access isn't convenient, we can clean facades with telescopic poles.

Commercial Solar Panel Cleaning

We use pure water fed-pole systems for streak-free finish and no chemicals that damage panel coatings. Our teams also clean rooftop solar arrays on warehouses, schools, and commercial buildings. Solar panel cleaning was part of the full roof and cladding job at Partridges warehouse in Desborough. A customer noted a panel output increase of 30% after our cleaning with fresh then deionised water.

Commercial Gutter Maintenance

Count on us for cleaning box gutters, standard guttering, valley gutters, and downpipe clearance on a commercial scale. Due to clogged commercial gutters, water can damage the stock, equipment, and building fabric. Gutter cleaning is always cheaper than solving such problems. At the Partridges warehouse in Desborough, we had to manage years of compressed dirt spread over 200 metres of box guttering. The 3-day job included gutter clearing along with cleaning the roof, cladding, and solar panels.

Shop Front & Forecourt Cleaning

We clean frontages, canopies, signage, and forecourt hardstanding. Using hot water pressure washing, we remove oil and fuel stains from forecourts, and employ soft washing to refresh painted shopfronts and canopy structures. For glass and signage, we turn to pure water systems. Our cleaning doesn't disrupt your business, as we can come around your trading hours. We've already ranked for forecourt cleaning throughout many Oxfordshire towns, including Faringdon, Thame, and Chipping Norton.

Window and signage cleaning is available upon request. Contact us for more details.

Frequently Asked Questions

12-18 months if it's warehouse cladding, and every 6-12 months for school buildings and high-traffic retail frontages. The frequency depends significantly on building materials and the environment. We follow the cleaning with a DDAC biocide treatment that inhibits regrowth for 2-4 years. The interval between cleans will also increase. Once we assess the site, we can suggest the frequency for exterior cleaning.

Not at all. Flexibility is one of our many qualities, and we can come outside of operating business hours. Cleaning on weekends, evenings, or outside business hours isn't extra with us; it's the norm. For example, we've cleaned the Farmfoods supermarket in Plymouth, which remained open for customers. For warehouses and industrial units, we coordinate with the site manager to minimise disruption to deliveries, loading bays, and production areas.

Absolutely. Each commercial job comes with comprehensive Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), COSHH data sheets for all chemicals used and written job reports with before/after photos. Should we find maintenance issues while we clean, we mention them in the report. You will receive the documentation before we start our cleaning. We meet all the requirements of facilities managers, landlords, and health and safety teams.

We use the method that works best and is the safest for each material. We use pressure washing on metal cladding, and low-pressure soft washing with biodegradable cleaning solution on render and painted surfaces. Pressure washing with rotary surface cleaners will refresh corrugated roofing, and we restore concrete hardstanding with hot-water pressure washing. For sensitive heritage surfaces, we employ steam cleaning. To avoid damage, we always use the right method for the material.

1 day if it's a small commercial unit or shop front, and 1-2 days if it's a medium warehouse. We needed 3 days to complete the cleaning of a 40,000 sq ft AJB Group warehouse in Corby. The scope of the job included cleaning all cladding elevations, roof areas, and surrounding hardstanding. After the free site survey, we can give you a clear timeline in the estimate. Multi-building sites like care homes or retail parks will take us a week or so - we always clean around your operations.

Warehouses and industrial units, retail parks and supermarkets, schools and colleges, care homes and healthcare facilities, restaurants and hotels, office buildings and business parks, forecourts and dealerships, and listed or heritage buildings. Count on our exterior cleaning - no matter the surface, we will use the most effective method for the material and come whenever it is convenient for you, too.
