FAQs - Commercial Exterior Cleaning


Pressure washing uses force to blast away dirt. While effective for some hard surfaces, it can damage render, dislodge pointing, strip paint and force water into cavities.

Soft washing, instead of relying on force, it uses a targeted chemical reaction to sterilise and remove algae, lichen, fungi and mould. This means growth doesn’t return as quickly — and surfaces remain protected.

  • Soft washing kills spores and organic growth at the root

  • Pressure washing removes surface dirt but not underlying growth

  • Soft washing is safer for delicate materials

  • Longer-lasting results with biocidal protection

Our contractors can clean any exterior hard surface including brick, stone, concrete, render, cladding, UPVC, glass, and roofing materials. Depending on the strength, porosity and access to the area, we adjust the cleaning method.

We only use HSE-approved products and apply them in highly diluted concentrations (around 1%). The active ingredients are biodegradable and break down rapidly once dry.

There can be a temporary mild bleach-like smell during application, but this dissipates quickly as the solution dries.

  • 10x weaker than standard household bleach

  • Chemicals become inactive within approximately one hour / once dry

  • Careful run-off management and environmental protection procedures in place

The safety of your team and members of the public is our highest priority, so all our projects start with a thorough risk assessment to ensure compliance and safety in each unique environment. 

For delicate, historical, or sensitive surfaces, DOFF steam cleaning, soft washing and manual hand scraping can be used. 

Our team have extensive experience, having been instructed by local town councils, of cleaning local memorials, clock towers and ancient buildings in Devon villages and towns. Real case studies of ur specialist cleaning work can be provided on application.

When access is awkward, we use MEWP access wherever possible and all our team undergo rigorous training for working at height.

  • Our team are Working At Height & IPAF trained
  • H&S approved training for work at height using roof anchor points
  • We always work within the unique Risk Assessment and Method Statements for any given project
  • Devon Surface Care operates a low-no-risk policy, and a high-accountability culture to ensure our team stay safe

Our standard hours are 9am - 5pm Monday to Friday, but when working in public areas we can provide flexible scheduling. 

To minimize disruption in public areas, evenings, weekends, or early mornings are possible. Please be in touch to discuss your requirements.

A site-survey and consultation involves one of our experience commercial cleaning agents visiting your site to assess your needs. This is a free service where we can discuss your needs as a property owner / manager including your desired outcome and also any issues around safety and compliance.

The aim of the initial consultation is to gain a clear understanding of what you need to achieve and your timescale.

Following the survey we will write up a quotation and accompanying documentation for you to review.
