Facade cleaning and facade renovation: when is what needed?
We use a simple rule of thumb in Meppel. 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 Meppel
Meppel has a varied housing stock that requires a differentiated approach. The older buildings in the city centre, particularly those from the 1930s, feature valuable decorative brickwork. This requires caution: no high-pressure cleaning, but rather steam cleaning or air blasting. We always start with a test piece in an inconspicuous spot. This way, you know exactly what the result will be beforehand.
In Koedijkslanden and Haveltermade, terraced houses from the 1960s and 70s dominate. There, the pointing is the weak point. Decades of rain and frost take their toll: joints shrink, mortar crumbles, and moisture finds its way inside. Sometimes the facade itself is still fine, and only the pointing needs replacing. We sometimes combine cleaning and renovation in one go; this is more efficient and saves on double call-out charges.
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 Meppel?
Facade cleaning in Meppel costs an average of €5 per m², and facade renovation €50 per m², excluding VAT. In the historic city center, older canal houses require a cautious approach: gentle cleaning under low pressure and, where necessary, restoration of the original jointing. For homes in the suburbs, cleaning is usually sufficient. We determine which approach suits your property and the exact cost during the free on-site inspection.
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 Meppel
Yes. For ornamental masonry and pre-war brick, we always use gentle methods: steam cleaning or air blasting, never high pressure. We assess each property individually and, if necessary, first create a test piece in an inconspicuous location.
If the mortar is weathered, cleaning alone is of little use. Moisture seeps into the masonry through the open joints, and the deposits return within a year. We always assess this during the inspection and combine both tasks if that is the smartest option.
Yes. We are equipped for larger projects for Owners' Associations and housing corporations, including reporting and phased execution. View our commercial portfolio for more information.
We recommend this in most cases. After cleaning, the facade is cleaner but also more vulnerable. Impregnation seals the masonry against moisture and ensures that the facade stays clean longer.
