Glass Facade Cleaning That Gets Results
We clean glass facades on commercial buildings across London and the UK. Our team are fully trained and insured to work at height, using rope access, cherry pickers and water fed pole systems to reach every panel safely.
What Is Included in Our Glass Facade Cleaning Service
At LBC Exterior Cleaning, we understand that the appearance of your commercial building speaks volumes about how it is managed. A clean glass facade creates a great first impression, protects your glazing investment, and keeps your building looking its best all year round.
We cover every piece of glass on the building, not just what is easy to reach. From structural glazing and curtain walling to atriums and post-construction residue, our team cleans to a consistent, streak-free standard using the right access method for every section of the building.
Structural Glazing and Curtain Walling
Full height glass facades, unitised curtain wall systems and stick systems cleaned using access methods and chemistry specific to the glazing type. We match the technique to the system every time so there is no risk of damage to coatings or seals.
Point-Fixed and Frameless Glazing
Bolt-fixed glass, spider glazing and frameless systems need specific low pressure techniques to protect fixings and silicone joints. Our team has experience across all types of architectural glazing so you can be confident the right approach will be used.
Atria and Internal Glazed Structures
Glass roofs, internal atria and covered walkways are included as part of a complete facade clean. We select the right access method for enclosed and overhead glazing where external access is not possible.
Frame, Seal and Sill Cleaning
We clean window frames, seals and sills as part of every visit, not as an extra. A spotless pane in a dirty frame is not a finished job. We also report any seal failures or glass damage we spot during the clean so you can act on it quickly.
Post-Construction Glass Cleaning
Construction residue, silicone smears, mortar splatter and protective film removal are carried out as part of practical completion programmes. We clean to a handover-ready standard and work alongside main contractors and site managers to fit around programme dates.
Planned Maintenance Contracts
Most commercial buildings benefit from quarterly cleaning. We set up planned maintenance contracts with fixed pricing, advance reminders before every visit and a dedicated account manager throughout so you always know who to call.
Cleaning Methods We Use on Glass Facades
Not every glass facade can be cleaned the same way. We assess your building and select the safest, most effective access method for every section of glazing.
Rope Access and Abseiling
Our rope access team abseil from anchor points at the roof to clean every panel at close range. This is often the most cost effective method for high rise buildings, irregular elevations and sites where a cherry picker cannot safely reach or manoeuvre. We have used this method at schools, offices and residential towers across London.
Cherry Picker and MEWP
We have our own company cherry picker and our team are IPAF trained and qualified to operate it. For mid rise buildings and sites with suitable ground access we bring our MEWP to the job. Our operatives carry out a full risk assessment on every visit before any elevated work begins.
Reach and Wash Pure Water
Carbon fibre poles deliver 100% purified water to the glass for low to mid level glazing. No chemicals, no streaks, no ladders on the ground creating trip hazards. Purified water leaves no residue as it dries so the glass stays cleaner for longer between visits, which means better value over the course of a maintenance contract.
Dirty Glass Facades Cost More Than You Think
A dirty facade is not just an aesthetic problem. It is a structural and financial one. Leaving glass uncleaned causes damage that gets more expensive to fix the longer it is left. Here is what is actually happening to your building when it is not being cleaned properly.
Prevents Permanent Glass Damage
Mineral deposits, acid rain and bird fouling etch into the glass surface over time. Once embedded these stains cannot be cleaned off and the glass has to be replaced. Regular professional cleaning stops this before it becomes irreversible.
More Natural Light in the Building
Pollutant build-up can reduce the amount of light coming through the glass significantly. Regular cleaning restores daylight to the building interior, which reduces artificial lighting costs and makes the space a much better place to work.
Protects Your Seals and Glazing System
Dirt and organic growth around glass edges and joints degrades silicone seals. Failed seals lead to water ingress, misted units and expensive repair programmes. Cleaning removes the build-up before it gets to the seal.
Keeps You Compliant with Your Lease
Most commercial leases require the landlord or managing agent to maintain the building exterior to a defined standard. Documented cleaning cycles give you the audit trail you need for insurance, lease compliance and planned maintenance reviews.
Protects the Value of the Building
A clean facade signals a well managed asset. It supports rental values, lease negotiations and the perception of quality for tenants and their clients. A dirty exterior works against all of that before anyone has even walked through the door.
Spots Problems Early
Our operatives work at close range across every panel. They regularly pick up seal failures, cracked glass or frame corrosion that ground level inspection misses entirely. Early reporting saves significant money on repairs further down the line.
How Our Glass Facade Cleaning Contract Works
From your first call to an ongoing clean building, here is exactly what to expect when you work with LBC Exterior Cleaning.
Free Site Survey
We visit your building to assess the glazing system, access requirements and soiling levels. There is no cost and no obligation.
Clear Proposal
You get a fixed price proposal with recommended access method, cleaning frequency and full documentation. No hidden extras and no vague pricing.
Scheduled Cleans Begin
Our trained operatives arrive at the agreed time and clean every panel, frame and sill on the elevation to a consistent high standard.
Quality Check and Report
A senior technician signs off the clean and reports any glass or seal damage identified. Your account manager keeps standards high on every visit.
We Work Around Your Building and Occupants
High access cleaning on an occupied commercial building needs careful coordination. We plan every visit around your occupants, your tenants and your site access requirements so the work gets done with no disruption.
Early Morning and Out of Hours Cleans
We regularly clean commercial facades before staff arrive, in the evenings or at weekends so your building operations are not affected during normal business hours.
Quarterly and Bi-Annual Contracts
Most commercial facades benefit from quarterly cleaning. We recommend the right frequency based on your building location, glazing type and pollution exposure after we have done the site assessment.
One-Off and Post-Construction Cleans
Pre-opening cleans, post-construction residue removal and emergency cleans after severe weather are all covered alongside our planned maintenance contracts.
Dedicated Account Management
You get a single point of contact throughout your contract. Advance reminders before every visit, one invoice and a consistent standard of work every time. No chasing, no guessing when we are going to turn up.

Working at height on an occupied commercial building carries real risks. Every LBC operative complies with the Work at Height Regulations 2005. Full risk assessments are completed before any elevated work begins. Our team are IPAF trained and qualified to operate cherry pickers and MEWPs. If a scaffold tower is required our team are PASMA trained and qualified. We carry comprehensive public liability insurance and provide all documentation on request for procurement, insurance and facilities management purposes.
