Cladding is a fantastic way to protect your property from the elements.
Installed on the exterior of your building, it bears the brunt of the notorious Scottish weather, improves energy efficiency, and maximises the lifespan of the structure underneath.
Besides the practical benefits, cladding can also do wonders for the appearance of your property, giving you complete control over the look of your home or business without the need for any expensive structural changes.
Over time, being exposed to rain, wind, pollution, sunlight, and other environmental conditions 24/7 does take its toll, and cladding can begin to look a bit grimy and unpleasant.
When this happens, professional cladding cleaning is required to restore your property to its former glory and the time has come to call in the professionals from Nutech cleaning.
We provide professional cladding cleaning to homes and businesses across Central Scotland and have put together this guide answering all the questions that you might have about this specialist service.
What are the benefits of Professional Cladding Cleaning?
Keeping your cladding clean is extremely important to both the appearance and structural integrity of your property.
Just some of the biggest reasons to arrange regular professional cladding cleaning include:
Protect your property
First and foremost, exterior cladding is there to protect your property from the elements, and it does a great job. The grime that accumulates over time is simply a sign that your cladding is doing its job and keeping the structure beneath in perfect condition.
Eventually, however, debris such as dirt, moss, lichen, pollutants, and bird droppings will begin to wear away your cladding and the longer you leave it without cleaning, the faster this process will be.
Regular cladding cleaning might seem like an unwanted expense, but it is a fraction of the cost of cladding replacement and by far the most cost-effective choice in the long run.
Improve aesthetics
Cladding gives you almost unlimited options when it comes to the appearance of your property, with options ranging from traditional brick or stone to modern aluminium, steel, or even glass.
Whatever colour, materials, or design you choose, regular cleaning is a must if you want to keep your property looking fantastic for decades to come. Leave it too long, and the surface will become permanently stained or faded, so arrange professional cladding cleaning today and we will have your cladding shiny and clean once again in no time at all.
Protect your Reputation
If you own a business, you know that first impressions matter. Do you really want dirty stained external cladding to be the first thing that a potential customer or visitor sees when they visit your premises?
Why would they trust you to take care of them if you can’t take care of your own building?
The fact is that your property is an expression of your business itself and a clean façade is a must for a professional image.
Keep your warranty valid
When cladding is first installed, the company responsible will usually offer a guarantee, protecting you from early deterioration such as de-lamination and excessive fading.
Many of these warranties will have a clause stating that regular cleaning must be carried out to protect cladding or the agreement becomes invalid, making you vulnerable to all sorts of highly expensive repair or replacement bills.

Soft Washing vs Pressure Washing
Many people believe that the best thing to do with dirty cladding is to whip out the pressure washer and blast away, but this could actually do more harm than good.
Soft washing is a specialist alternative cleaning service to pressure jet washing that involves spraying cladding with a chemical solution that removes dirt and organic matter far more effectively than traditional pressure washing, producing a much more vibrant overall clean.
Even better, soft washing tends to be longer lasting than pressure washing, with results lasting up to 5x as long as pressure washing in some cases.
Pressure washing, on the other hand, often results in rather dull looking clean cladding and can even leave hard water stains of its own. It can also actually damage cladding made from shingles, vinyl cladding panels, or more delicate materials and even strip paint away from wood cladding.
At Nutech Cleaning, we have both soft washing and pressure washing cladding cleaning services available, alongside a range of other cleaning methods, meaning that whatever your cladding cleaning needs may be, we are the only professionals that you will ever need to call.
