Helpful answers for strata managers, owners corporations and facility teams.
How often should a Castle Hill building be pressure cleaned?
Most buildings benefit from external cleaning every 6 to 24 months, depending on exposure, surface type, shade, traffic pollution and nearby vegetation. High-visibility retail, hotel and commercial sites may need more frequent cleaning, while sheltered residential façades may suit a longer cycle.
Can pressure cleaning damage a façade?
It can if the wrong pressure, nozzle or chemical is used. We assess the substrate before cleaning and may recommend soft washing for painted, rendered or coated surfaces. If we notice cracking, failed sealant or render defects, we can discuss related services such as rope access caulking and sealing or rope access rendering.
Do residents or tenants need to leave the building?
Usually, no. We plan exclusion zones, communication and work staging so occupants can remain in place. Some balcony, window or entry areas may need temporary restrictions. For projects involving glass, façade cleaning and pressure washing together, our high rise window cleaning team can help coordinate timing.
Can you clean after hours?
Yes, after-hours and staged programmes are available where practical. This is often useful for Castle Hill retail sites, education facilities, medical buildings and commercial properties with heavy daytime foot traffic.
