Facade cleaning and facade renovation: when is what needed?
We use a simple rule of thumb in Stadskanaal. Rub your thumb over a joint. Does sand or mortar come off? Then renovation work is on the horizon. Is the facade still structurally sound but covered in deposits and dirt? Then cleaning is the first step.
Facade cleaning removes green deposits, algae, and efflorescence. We choose the method based on your facade type: steam cleaning for sensitive masonry, or air blasting or dry ice blasting for more stubborn dirt on solid brick.
Facade renovation addresses the root cause: loose mortar is chiseled out and refilled, and damaged masonry is repaired or replaced. After renovation, in most cases, we recommend having the facade impregnated so that new mortar is immediately protected. We assess on-site what your facade needs and provide honest advice, even if that means performing less work than you expected.
Our activities in Stadskanaal
Stadskanaal developed along the canal of the same name and features characteristic ribbon development with houses from various periods. In the center of Stadskanaal and in Musselkanaal, there are older buildings and pre-war ribbon development with traditional decorative brickwork. We work carefully there: steam cleaning or air blasting, no high pressure. We always start with a test piece in an inconspicuous spot.
In the expansion districts of Stadskanaal and in the surrounding villages of Onstwedde, Alteveer, and Mussel, there are many terraced houses and social housing dating from the 1950s to the 1970s. There, the pointing is often the weak point: moisture seeps in through open joints. The peat soil and the damp climate in the Veenkoloniën contribute to increased algae and green deposits, particularly on the north side of facades. Sometimes only the pointing needs replacing. We sometimes combine cleaning and renovation in a single process; this is more efficient and saves on double call-out charges.
How much do facade cleaning and facade renovation cost in Stadskanaal?
Facade cleaning in Stadskanaal costs an average of €5 per m², and facade renovation €50 per m², excluding VAT. Along the canal and in the surrounding streets, there are homes from various construction periods, each with its own type of masonry and therefore a unique approach. In the older buildings, in addition to dirt, we regularly see pointing that is due for replacement. During the free inspection, we assess the entire facade so that you receive a quotation that accurately reflects the actual condition.
How do we clean your facade?
Every facade is different. That is why we always start with a thorough on-site inspection. We assess the type of masonry, the condition of the joints, and the nature of the contamination. Only then do we choose the appropriate cleaning method.
Inspection and test piece
We inspect the facade and often make a test piece on a small, inconspicuous section. This way, you see what the result will be beforehand, without any surprises.
1
Determine cleaning method
Not every facade can be cleaned in the same way. We always choose a method that suits the stone, the level of soiling, and the condition of the masonry of your facade.
2
Cleaning and finishing
During the cleaning process, we carefully cover window frames, doors, and plants. Afterwards, we check the result and leave the workplace tidy. No traces, no mess.
3
Aftercare
After cleaning, your facade is clean, but also more susceptible to new dirt. Therefore, we often recommend impregnating the facade, a water-repellent treatment that prevents dirt from adhering as well.

Honest advice
To be honest: for light green deposits, you can sometimes try to remove them yourself with a brush and a mild cleaner. Only when the dirt returns or is deeper is professional facade cleaning truly necessary. We prefer to tell you that beforehand rather than afterwards.

The damp climate above peat soil leads to relatively rapid algae and green deposits, particularly on the north-facing sides of homes. Regular cleaning is often more beneficial there than elsewhere. In older linear developments, we also always inspect the mortar joints: in peat-rich areas, joints can weather more quickly due to fluctuating moisture loads.
Yes. Moss and green deposits on north-facing walls are standard work for us. We remove it using steam cleaning or air blasting, depending on the condition of the masonry. A subsequent treatment with a water-repellent impregnation ensures the result remains beautiful for significantly longer.
We carefully cover window frames, doors, plants, paving, and garden furniture before we begin. Afterward, we check the result and leave the workspace tidy. No marks on your patio, no mess in the garden.
