The county
Historic centres, science parks and working sites
Oxfordshire combines city-centre premises, science and business parks, distribution sites, industrial estates, schools, managed developments and rural commercial properties. A warehouse may need its cladding and yard cleaned together, while an occupied office or retail site needs the work planned around entrances, deliveries and customer movement. We survey those differences before we write the specification of works.
- From Marlow
- Chiltern Surface Co Ltd is based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, a short way down the Thames from Henley-on-Thames. The A404 and M40 connect Marlow with Thame and Oxford.
- Historic centres
- Oxford's historic centre, with its many listed buildings, is a conservation area, as are the historic centres of Henley-on-Thames, Thame and Wallingford. Shopfronts and offices there open straight onto public footways, so the survey records entrances and pedestrian routes, and the works are phased zone by zone around them.
- Science and business parks
- Parks such as Milton Park and Harwell Campus near Didcot have large office and laboratory elevations, car parks and staff entrances that must stay in use during any exterior work.
- Distribution and industrial sites
- Warehouse and industrial units on estates such as Southmead in Didcot and Hithercroft in Wallingford bring large clad elevations, service yards and loading areas, where repeated vehicle movement leaves tracked dirt, organic build-up and operational residues.
- Portfolios
- Each site is surveyed and specified on its own, because materials, contamination, access and priorities differ even where one standard is required across a portfolio. Several sites under one contact are covered by multi-site and portfolio contracts.

What we do
Services across the county
- Cladding cleaningWarehouse and industrial cladding, where grime collects below rooflines, around fixings and beneath signage. The method follows the finish and coating condition.
- Industrial yard and warehouse cleaningService yards, loading areas and vehicle routes, with the works sequenced around loading doors, traffic and nearby stock.
- Industrial and loading bay contamination removalTyre marks, diesel and hydraulic staining on loading bays and service yards.
- Oil stain and contamination removalResidual oil staining after the event, surveyed before the likely result is set out.
- Pressure washingPressure, flow and technique matched to the surface and contamination, never maximum pressure by default.
- Façade cleaningRoutine cleaning of office, retail and business-park elevations affected by organic growth, traffic film and weathering.
- Brick and stonework cleaningBrick and stone town-centre frontages, cleaned once joints and past repairs are recorded.
- Façade restorationRestoration of weathered stone and brick, including listed buildings in Oxford and the market towns.
- Render and masonry cleaningRendered elevations with algae, staining and weathering.
- Roof cleaningLarge profiled roofs on distribution and business-park buildings, and older pitched roofs in the historic centres.
- Gutter and high-level cleaningGutters and outlets, with debris removed before flushing.
- High-level access cleaningRooflines and elevated surfaces, reached from the tracked spider lift we own and transport.

Safety and site control
Planned before we arrive
- Roofs
- We identify the roof covering before any work is proposed and request the asbestos register. Asbestos-cement and fragile roofs are never pressure-washed or walked on.
- Wash water
- We plan wash-water control and drain protection for every site.
- Listed and conservation buildings
- We use test areas and low-pressure methods on listed and conservation-area buildings.
- Schools and care settings
- We work in school holidays and INSET days, or behind exclusion zones away from pupils and residents.

Questions
Common questions
Do you cover commercial properties outside Oxford?
Yes. Our Oxfordshire coverage includes Henley-on-Thames, Wallingford, Thame, Didcot, Goring, Watlington, Nettlebed and the surrounding communities, with their industrial estates, business parks and rural commercial properties. Near the county boundary, send the full address or postcode so coverage can be confirmed.
Can cladding be cleaned while a warehouse is operating?
Yes. Deliveries, vehicle routes, loading doors, pedestrian access and neighbouring units are recorded at the survey and set the working areas and sequence. Works are phased zone by zone behind agreed exclusion areas, and out-of-hours working is available.
Can cladding and yard cleaning be combined?
Yes, where both surfaces are suitable. They are specified together in one fixed-price proposal, and the work is sequenced so that cleaning the upper surfaces does not affect areas already completed.
Do you offer one-off and planned maintenance work?
Yes. A project may be one-off or part of planned preventative maintenance (PPM). Where the asset warrants it, the completion report ends with a PPM proposal and a suggested review cycle, set by exposure, property use, material, the surrounding environment and how quickly soiling returns.
What information should I provide?
The site address, the property type, the surfaces involved, photographs if you have them, any operational constraints and your preferred timeframe. For roof or gutter work we also ask for the site's asbestos register and drainage drawings.
