Commercial Facade Cleaning in London
Over time, every building's exterior accumulates pollution, biological growth, and weather staining. LBC Exterior Cleaning provides specialist commercial facade cleaning across London. Restoring brick, render, stone, and cladding to their best condition using safe, substrate-matched techniques.
What Is Commercial Facade Cleaning?
A building's facade which is the external face visible from the street is constantly exposed to London's urban pollution, damp climate, traffic emissions, and biological growth such as algae, moss, and lichen. Over time these contaminants embed into the surface, staining and degrading the material, and can accelerate deterioration if left untreated.
Facade cleaning is the professional process of removing these contaminants from a building's exterior surfaces including brick, stone, render, cladding, concrete, and glass by using the correct cleaning method for the specific material. Choosing the wrong technique can cause irreversible damage, which is why selecting a specialist contractor matters.
At LBC Exterior Cleaning we have over 10 years of experience cleaning commercial building facades across London. We assess every facade individually and select the safest, most effective cleaning method. From DOFF superheated steam cleaning (we are Stonehealth DOFF approved contractors) to low-pressure soft washing to restore your building without risk of surface damage.

Every facade material requires a different cleaning approach. Using the wrong method such as high-pressure washing on delicate render or historic brick can cause lasting damage. Our team is trained and equipped to handle all common commercial building materials using the right technique for each surface.
Brick Cleaning London
Brick facades accumulate carbon deposits, atmospheric soiling, and biological growth over time. We use DOFF superheated steam cleaning or targeted chemical treatments depending on brick type, age, and condition which allows us to remove staining without damaging the pointing or brick face.
Render Cleaning London
Render is particularly susceptible to algae and black mould in London's damp climate. We use low-pressure soft washing with specialist biocide treatments killing biological growth at the root rather than just surface cleaning to achieve a longer-lasting result that doesn't damage the render.
Stone Cleaning London
Portland stone, limestone, sandstone, and granite require careful handling to avoid surface erosion. As Stonehealth DOFF approved contractors, we use DOFF superheated steam cleaning. This process is English Heritage approved and suitable for listed and heritage buildings preserving the patina and character of the stone.
Cladding Cleaning London
Metal, ACM, composite, and powder-coated aluminium cladding panels collect traffic film, urban grime, and oxidation. We use gentle, manufacturer-approved cleaning agents and soft washing techniques to restore cladding without scratching surfaces or stripping protective coatings.
DOFF Steam Cleaning
DOFF is a specialist superheated steam cleaning system manufactured by Stonehealth. It delivers steam at up to 150°C at very low pressure to ensure the effective removal of organic growth, atmospheric soiling, and old paint without abrasion or chemical damage. As Stonehealth DOFF approved contractors, LBC are certified to operate this system to the manufacturer's standard.
Roof Cleaning London
Commercial roof surfaces affected by moss, algae, and lichen are cleaned and treated with a post-wash biocide application to inhibit regrowth. Using our own access equipment, we can clean roofs safely at any height across London with minimal disruption to building occupants.

Safe, Efficient Clean
Our trained operatives arrive on the agreed date with all equipment and access machinery. We work efficiently to minimise disruption to occupants and neighbouring businesses.
Protective Treatment
Where appropriate, we apply biocide or protective coatings after cleaning to slow the return of biological growth and extend the life of the clean.
The Facade Cleaning Company London Trusts
Facade cleaning requires more than a pressure washer and a van. Here's why facilities managers, property management companies, housing associations, and building owners across London trust LBC Exterior Cleaning with their buildings.
Stonehealth DOFF Approved DOFF Contractors
Rosette accreditation for DOFF steam cleaning assures you our team uses the correct equipment and techniques and these are especially important for historic and heritage buildings.
Own Cherry Picker & Access Equipment
We own our own cherry picker and elevated access equipment meaning there's no delays waiting for third-party hire, and more competitive pricing. We can safely reach facades at any height across London.
Right Method for Every Surface
We never default to high-pressure washing. Every facade is assessed individually and cleaned using the method best suited to the substrate to deliver effective cleaning without surface damage, mortar erosion, or voided warranties.
10+ Years of Commercial Experience
With over a decade of commercial facade cleaning across London, we've worked on Victorian brick warehouses, Portland stone office buildings, modern cladded developments, and everything in between.
Preservation-Led Approach
We clean to remove harmful biological growth and soiling not to bleach or over-clean a building. For historic and heritage buildings, preserving the patina and character of the original material is always a priority.
Fully Insured with Full Documentation
Full public liability insurance, method statements, risk assessments (RAMS), and COSHH documentation available on request for everything required by facilities managers and property management companies.
What Our Clients Say About Us
LBC Exterior Cleaning holds a 4.9-star rating on Google from over 290 verified reviews across commercial and residential clients.
"Brilliant service — easy to deal with and decent pricing. The render looks brand new again. The biocide treatment ran off onto the patio too and cleaned that as well. Very happy and well recommended."
"Kieran and Nash carried out work on a roof in Lambeth and their professionalism, efficiency, and courteousness is admirable and commendable. Will be using them again without any doubt."
"I attempted DIY pressure washing on our 150-year-old house — it did nothing. LBC's team made light work of the brickwork. The carbon literally melted off the wall!"
"End results were fantastic. Conan was very helpful and sent another team with cherry picker. Cleaned immaculately — very happy and highly recommend. Will use again."
