Commercial Hospitality and Leisure Exterior Cleaning

Guest-facing areas

Entrances, steps, paths and terraces take repeated foot traffic and can stay damp where shade or planting is present. Traffic film, leaf staining and vehicle marks show first at a hotel entrance, where guests arrive, luggage is unloaded and taxis stop. A terrace that looked clean at the start of the season can quickly develop localised marks and organic growth from food service, furniture and surrounding vegetation.

Trading around the works

Works should not occupy a restaurant entrance during the busiest arrival period, and a hotel terrace may be better addressed before guests begin using it for the day. A golf club may have quieter periods that make certain external areas easier to reach, while a leisure centre may need its entrances kept available to visitors. Out-of-hours working is available where the venue needs it.

Premium and traditional materials

A hotel courtyard might combine limestone paving with rendered walls and painted timber; a golf clubhouse, traditional brick with a modern extension; a spa, natural stone around extensive glazing. On older masonry, mortar, painted surfaces and timber, more pressure is not better. We identify each surface and its condition before we specify the method, and glazing, planting and adjoining materials are considered as part of the work. The aim is to keep the character of the property intact.

Growth in landscaped settings

Trees, shade, leaves and pollen around hotels, clubhouses and spas encourage algae and organic growth on walls, paving and paths wherever moisture lingers.

Problems out of sight

Gutters beneath mature trees fill with leaves, moss and organic debris that cannot be seen from the ground. Often the first sign is an overflowing gutter above an entrance or terrace, in full view of guests.

A realistic outcome

We explain what we recommend, why we recommend it and what result you can realistically expect. Where complete removal of staining cannot be guaranteed, this is identified before works begin and the expected improvement is set out clearly.

Hotels, clubhouses and leisure buildings can contain a wide range of exterior materials: render, brick and stone on the main building, cladding on modern extensions, natural stone or block paving on paths and terraces, and roofs and gutters above landscaped grounds, car parks and guest entrances.

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.
