Looking for professional cladding cleaning services? H2O Restoration provides expert cladding cleaning services, including algae and lichen removal, biological stain treatment, and protective biocide applications, for commercial properties across the UK. Whether you need a single warehouse facade restored, a full estate of retail units cleaned, or a planned maintenance schedule for multiple sites, our specialist team uses steam cleaning and pressure washing that cleans cladding thoroughly without damaging panel coatings.
If Any of This Sounds Like You, You're in the Right Place
Most of the facilities managers and building owners who contact us about cladding cleaning are dealing with one of the same handful of problems. See if yours is here.
Your facade is the first thing clients, visitors and potential customers see. Black streaking, pollution staining and algae growth on cladding panels sends the wrong message before a single word is spoken. A professional facade clean changes that impression completely.
High–pressure jet washing on metal cladding and composite panels is one of the most common causes of premature coating failure. Our low–pressure steam method delivers a thorough clean without the water pressure that strips protective finishes and forces moisture behind panels.
Render cleaning is a specialist job – the wrong method leaves ghosting or causes surface damage. We sometimes also use an algae biocide treatment, which is designed to kill organic growth, so the area stays cleaner for longer.
We work with property managers and facilities companies across the Midlands, providing consistent, professional exterior cladding cleaning on a scheduled or as–needed basis. One call covers multiple sites – we'll propose a maintenance programme that works for your portfolio.

Cladding Cleaning Services Across The UK
Cladding is one of the most visible parts of any commercial or industrial building. Over time, pollution, algae, and grime build up on the surface, leaving buildings looking tired, neglected, and unprofessional. Dirty cladding can put off potential customers, damage your brand, and shorten the life of panel coatings if left untreated. Our unique steam cleaning equipment is designed to tackle all types of cladding contamination quickly and with the right approach for each material. We assess every surface before we begin, selecting the appropriate cladding cleaning technique to avoid damage and achieve the best possible result. Every job is different, and a one-size-fits-all approach risks damaging coatings, sealants, and fixings. Using specialist chemical treatments, steam cleaning systems, and pressure washing equipment, our cladding cleaning services cover:
Pollution and atmospheric staining
Urban and industrial environments deposit black carbon staining on cladding panels over time. Steam cleaning lifts atmospheric grime from metal, composite and render facades without abrasive treatments.
Algae, moss and biological growth
North–facing and shaded facades attract algae and green biological growth rapidly. Our 150°C steam kills growth at the root – preventing the fast regrowth that surface–only cleaning causes.
Metal cladding and panel cleaning
Metal cladding cleaning requires precision – too much pressure strips protective coatings and forces water into panel joins. Our adjustable steam system cleans thoroughly while protecting the finish and integrity of your panels.
Render and painted facade cleaning
Render cleaning restores the original colour of stained or greened render surfaces without the bleaching or ghosting that chemical treatments leave behind. Safe for painted, roughcast and smooth render finishes.
Efflorescence and mineral deposits
White salt deposits and efflorescence on brick and masonry facades are effectively treated with controlled steam – restoring a clean, uniform appearance to the building exterior.
Entrance canopies and curtain walling
The entrance to your building deserves particular attention. We clean entrance canopies, glazed curtain walling sections and feature facades as part of a comprehensive exterior clean.
See What Professional Cladding Cleaning Services Achieve
The difference between a soiled facade and a properly restored one usually comes down to one professional visit.
A commercial office building in the Midlands – years of atmospheric pollution staining, algae and dirt streaking down the side walls, and blackened joints along the cladding seams. A familiar sight on any building over five years old.
Same building, one visit. Original panel colour restored, algae and dirt eliminated. Completed in a single day with no disruption to the building's occupants or operations.
Commercial Cladding Cleaning for Every Building Type
Different cladding materials demand different approaches. We assess your facade before we start and set our equipment specifically for your building.
01 Metal and Steel Cladding
Low–pressure steam safely removes grime, algae and staining from metal cladding panels without stripping factory–applied coatings or forcing moisture into panel joints.
02 Composite Cladding Panels
Composite facades cleaned thoroughly without the pressure damage that conventional jet washing causes. Our method preserves colour uniformity and surface integrity.
03 Render and Painted Render
Algae and staining lifted from render surfaces without bleaching, ghosting or surface erosion. Effective on smooth, roughcast and through–coloured render finishes.
04 Brick and Masonry Facades
Pollution blackening, biological growth and efflorescence removed from brick facades – without eroding pointing or damaging the masonry surface.
05 Glass and Curtain Walling
Entrance canopies, glazed sections and curtain walling cleaned carefully alongside the wider facade — ensuring a consistent, uniform finish across the full building.
06 Mixed and Multi–Material Facades
Many modern commercial buildings combine materials across the facade. We work across mixed elevations, adjusting our settings for each material zone.
How We Deliver Our Cladding Cleaning Services
At H2O Restoration, our cladding cleaning services use specialist chemicals, steam cleaning systems, and pressure washing equipment. This is not simply a case of applying pressure and hoping for the best. Our methods are chosen to suit the specific cladding material and type of contamination involved, delivering cladding cleaning services as safely as possible without risking damage to panel coatings or fixings.
OUR METHOD
H2O Cladding Cleaning Services
- A full surface review to identify the cladding material, type of dirt, and condition before selecting the right cleaning method
- Specialist cladding cleaning treatments applied where appropriate, breaking down biological growth and soiling at the surface level
- Steam cleaning or pressure washing at the correct temperature and pressure for the cladding type
- Targeted treatment for residual staining or biological marks left after initial cleaning
- Protection treatments or biocide applications where requested, slowing the return of algae, moss, and lichen
- A final inspection to confirm the cladding has been cleaned to the required standard before we leave
Generic Jet Washing or DIY Cleaning
- No surface review, a one-size-fits-all approach risking damage to coatings and sealants
- High-pressure washing at the wrong settings can strip powder coatings and force water into panel joints
- Biological growth blasted off the surface but left to regrow within months
- Residual staining and streaking often left behind untreated
- No biocide or protective treatment, so algae and lichen return quickly
- No quality check, so results are inconsistent and may need redoing
