Facade cleaning and facade renovation: when is what needed?
We use a simple rule of thumb in Winschoten. 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, 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, damaged masonry is repaired or replaced. After renovation, in most cases we recommend having the facade impregnate so that new pointing is immediately protected. We assess on-site what your facade needs and advise you honestly. Even if that means we carry out less work than you expected.
Our work in Winschoten
As an old market town in the Oldambt, Winschoten has a richly varied housing stock. In the old center, around Marktstraat and in the Bovenburen district, there are many pre-war buildings from the 1920s and 1930s, featuring elegant brickwork and old joints. These buildings require a careful approach: no high-pressure cleaning, but rather steam cleaning or air blasting. We always start here with a test piece in an inconspicuous spot.
In the post-war expansion districts on the west and south sides of Winschoten, there are many terraced houses and semi-detached houses dating from the 1950s to the 1980s. There, the pointing is often the weak point. In the surrounding villages of the Oldambt, such as Scheemda, Beerta, Nieuwolda, Finsterwolde, and Bad Nieuweschans, we regularly work on detached houses and farmhouses. The Oldambt coastal climate, with strong winds from the Dollard, causes extra deposits on the north and east sides of facades. Sometimes only the pointing needs replacing. Sometimes we combine cleaning and renovation in a single process.
In addition to facade cleaning and renovation, we also offer the option in Meppel to... to impregnate facades. We would be happy to advise you on the possibilities.
How much do facade cleaning and facade renovation cost in Winschoten?
Facade cleaning in Winschoten costs an average of €5 per m², and facade renovation €50 per m², excluding VAT. In East Groningen, we see a relatively large number of pre-war buildings with weathered masonry. Cleaning alone is often only half the job: if the joints are porous, the dirt quickly returns and moisture continues to seep into the facade. Therefore, during the free inspection, we honestly assess whether renovation is necessary before you commit to anything.
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.

Frequently asked questions about facade cleaning and renovation in Winschoten
Yes. From Dedemsvaart, we serve Winschoten and the entire Oldambt, including Scheemda, Beerta, Nieuwolda, Finsterwolde, Bad Nieuweschans, and Oostwold. One phone call is all it takes for a no-obligation inspection.
Yes. For pre-war buildings in the old center of Winschoten and in Bovenburen, we always use mild methods: steam cleaning, air blasting, or dry ice blasting. Never high pressure. We assess each building individually and, if necessary, first perform a test on an inconspicuous spot.
Yes. The persistent north and east winds from the Dollard bring a lot of moisture and salt. This accelerates both algae growth and efflorescence on the masonry. We specifically select our cleaning method and any impregnation layer based on this load, especially for facades on the Dollard side.
That varies from home to home. A well-maintained facade with impregnation often only needs to be cleaned again after 8 to 12 years. A facade on a windward side without a protective layer may become covered in deposits again sooner. During the inspection, we will give you honest advice on what is realistic for your situation.
