Facade cleaning and facade renovation: when is what needed?
In Zwolle, we follow a clear rule of thumb. Rub your thumb over a joint: if sand or mortar comes loose, renovation is necessary. Is the facade still structurally sound, but soiled by deposits? Then facade cleaning is the right first step.
Facade cleaning removes green deposits, algae, and efflorescence, among other things. We apply the appropriate technique depending on the type of facade. For delicate masonry, we use steam cleaning, while for stubborn dirt on sturdy brick, we opt for air blasting or dry ice blasting.
With facade renovation, we address the root cause of the problem. Worn mortar is removed and reapplied, and damaged bricks are repaired or replaced. After renovation, in most cases, we recommend that the facade impregnate, so that the new pointing is immediately well protected. We always assess the situation on site and give you honest advice – even if that means less work is needed than you might have expected.
Our work in Zwolle
Zwolle has a diverse housing stock that requires a tailored approach. In and around the city center, there are many characteristic buildings with decorative brickwork. We treat this type of facade with care: no aggressive high-pressure cleaning, but specialized techniques such as steam cleaning or air blasting. We always start with a test in an inconspicuous spot, so that you know exactly what to expect beforehand.
In neighborhoods such as Zwolle-Zuid and Holtenbroek, you will find many homes from the 1960s and 1970s. With this type of building, the pointing is often the most vulnerable. Due to prolonged exposure to rain, wind, and frost, the joints can deteriorate, the mortar crumbles, and moisture is given the opportunity to penetrate. In many cases, the facade itself is still in good condition and only the pointing needs to be renewed. Where necessary, we combine facade cleaning and renovation in a single process, ensuring efficiency and avoiding double costs.
In addition to facade cleaning and renovation, we also offer the option in Zwolle to... to impregnate facades and to clean and coat roof. We would be happy to advise you on the possibilities.
How much do facade cleaning and facade renovation cost in Zwolle?

From monumental buildings in the city center to terraced houses in Stadshagen and Zwolle-Zuid: every facade type requires a suitable approach, from light cleaning to complete restoration of the jointing. Height and accessibility also frequently play a role in the price in the city. After a free inspection, you will receive a quotation tailored to your situation.
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 Zwolle
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.
