A commercial building wash Welllington is a great way to clean surfaces that are often neglected. Regular washing of these surfaces will help prevent damage, save money in the long run and enhance curb appeal.
Washing large sites requires a high flow commercial washer and adequate manpower. It’s also important to have a thorough understanding of health and safety when working at heights.
Safety First
The right access equipment is required to get up close to washing a commercial building, ensuring the job is completed without any damage or marks. Using a boom lift is ideal for washing larger structures up high and for getting into those hard to reach places.
It is also important that any washing staff or operators have completed a Working at Heights Course and Site Safe pass. This course covers the basics of how to minimise risk, eliminate risk and reduce the likelihood of injury when carrying out work at heights.
Washing large buildings and roofs is best done in pairs, this will help speed up the process and ensure everyone’s safety. It is also a good idea to map out any obstructions on ground and up high such as other buildings, vehicles and power lines. Communicating this back to the client will help manage realistic expectations and make the job run as smoothly as possible.
Prevent Damage
When commercial buildings get stained, eroded and covered in moss or mould it is not only unattractive but it speaks to the property owner’s priorities for their business and how they care for their assets. Getting it right first time with regular maintenance washing prevents damage to the building materials and saves money on costly reactive cleaning and repairs.
Correct assessment of the building at quote stage will also help to manage realistic expectations for the client and ensure that any issues are communicated to them and dealt with on site. An experienced team will have a systematic approach to large building and roof wash jobs which makes the process quicker and easier.
Having the correct EWP access equipment is also important to avoid safety hazards when washing or mechanically scrubbing. Working in pairs and mapping out any obstructions including power lines is a great idea. A 2 wire water blasting hose is ideal for large roof and concrete washing projects. This sturdy design eliminates kinks, stands up to being driven over by vehicles and minimises blowouts. We like to use 3 x 30 metre lengths which allows us to cover a lot of ground without having to move the unit too much.
Save Money in the Long Term
A clean building is inviting to customers and can make the difference between them coming into your shop or walking past. You can also avoid expensive paint repairs by having your building washed regularly. Dirt and salt build up on paint surfaces can cause the surface to crack and break down requiring an expensive repainting job much sooner than necessary. Many commercial cladding systems require regular washing to maintain their warranties.
A good commercial washing service will have all the right tools and equipment to complete your wash in a timely manner with minimal disruption to your business. They should be experienced in water blasting, soft washing, heights safety, different commercial building surfaces and windows and glass cleaning techniques. They should also have an EWP license and know the types of access equipment that are suitable for each commercial washing job.
Regular commercial washing can extend the life of your paintwork and cladding materials significantly saving you money in the long term. A preventive maintenance schedule with a trusted commercial cleaning service is a great way to protect your investment and keep your property looking its best.
Enhance Curb Appeal
Whether you’re looking to sell your commercial property, or simply want to create a more appealing environment for your employees and customers, a regular commercial cleaning can help. Having a clean façade will prevent issues such as rotting wood, corroded metal, and deteriorated masonry which can be costly to repair and affect the value of your commercial property.
Water blasting is perfect for removing tough exterior stains and is ideal for large surfaces such as walls, roofs, windows, and fences. However, if the surface is too delicate, high pressure can strip paint or break windows. That’s where soft wash comes in, which uses low pressure to remove dirt marks without damaging surfaces.
Professionals using soft washing techniques can enhance the curb appeal of your commercial property, while preserving the longevity of your exterior surfaces. So if you’re ready to experience the benefits of commercial cleaning, contact a specialist today. They’ll use sustainable cleaning methods that comply with environmental regulations and ensure your business complies with health and safety guidelines.
