Professional School, College and University Exterior Cleaning Across the UK
Keeping educational buildings clean and well maintained is not just about appearances; it’s about creating a safe, welcoming, and inspiring environment for students and staff. At LBC Exterior Cleaning, we specialise in school exterior cleaning, college exterior cleaning, and university exterior cleaning services that protect your buildings and preserve their long-term value.
School Exterior Cleaning Services
Schools are high-traffic environments. Over time, dirt, algae, and pollution build up on walls, windows, and pathways, making buildings look tired and uninviting. Our school exterior cleaning service uses soft washing, pressure washing, steam cleaning, and pure water water fed pole techniques to safely remove grime from render, brick, cladding, playground surfaces and windows.
We schedule work during holidays or out of hours to minimise disruption to staff and pupils, and all team members hold enhanced DBS checks and are fully insured for school work.
College and University Exterior Cleaning
Colleges and universities have larger campuses and more complex buildings, often including historic stonework, glass façades, and modern cladding systems. Our trained access technicians and rope access team can handle even the most challenging cleaning tasks, from high-level window cleaning to full façade and cladding restoration.
We help facilities teams maintain professional-looking, hygienic learning environments that are perfect for open days, inspections, and creating a strong first impression.
School Render Cleaning
Dirty render is one of the most common issues on school buildings. Green algae, red staining, and black mould can make even new buildings look neglected. LBC uses a low-pressure soft wash and steam cleaning system and biocidal treatment to restore render safely without causing damage to delicate surfaces.
We have cleaned render on hundreds of educational buildings, from small primary schools to large academies, always with long-lasting results.
Removing Chewing Gum from School Playgrounds
Chewing gum on playgrounds, walkways, and sports courts is not just unsightly; it is unhygienic and attracts more litter. Our specialist chewing gum removal service for schools uses high-temperature steam cleaning to lift gum without harsh chemicals. We can treat playgrounds, tarmac, concrete, and even rubber safety surfaces, leaving them clean and safe for students.
Window Cleaning for Schools, Colleges and Universities
From classroom windows to high-level glass façades, we offer both traditional and water-fed pole window cleaning tailored to educational environments. We schedule cleaning to fit around the school day and ensure all work meets strict health and safety standards.
Clean windows let in more natural light, helping to create brighter classrooms and happier students.

Abseil Facade Cleaning at St Anthony's College Oxford
On this job we helped to steam clean the stonesections on the facade. We used abeiling for the top section of the building as there was no direct access to bring a mewp to the base of the building. The abseiling team steam cleaned the stone sections of th ebuilding removing all the organic staining which is black in appearance.
The lower sections could be done using our telesopic high pressure poles.
Render Cleaning at Howe Dell School
This schools exterior cleaning on the adjoining community centre was carried out in the half term to minimise disruption. The render took several applications of soft washing chemicals and steam cleaning to get the results good enough to hand back to the school.
We can help you to make your school look it’s best, not just for visitors and inspections but to provide a cleaner, healthier environment where everyone can thrive.
