Facade cleaning and facade renovation: when is what needed?
In Drenthe, we use a practical method to assess the condition of your facade. By lightly rubbing the jointing with your thumb, you will quickly notice if sand or mortar comes loose. If this is the case, facade renovation is often necessary. Does everything still feel solid, but does the facade look dirty? Then professional cleaning is usually the right first step.
For facade cleaning, we remove algae, green deposits, and white efflorescence, among other things. We tailor the technique we apply to the type of facade. For delicate masonry, we use steam cleaning, while for stubborn dirt on stronger bricks, we opt for methods such as air blasting or dry ice blasting.
Facade renovation is all about solving problems structurally. Aged or damaged mortar is carefully removed and reapplied, and where necessary, we repair or replace affected bricks. In many cases, we recommend impregnating the facade after renovation to provide better protection against moisture and pollution. We inspect every facade in Drenthe on-site, after which you receive honest and appropriate advice – even if that means a less invasive solution suffices.
Our work in Drenthe
Drenthe boasts a wide variety of facade types, requiring a targeted and well-considered approach. In places such as Assen, Meppel, and Coevorden, buildings with characteristic decorative brickwork can still be found. For these types of facades, we do not use aggressive cleaning methods, but instead opt for techniques such as steam cleaning or air blasting. We always perform a test on an inconspicuous spot first, so that you have a clear idea of the result beforehand.
In many parts of Drenthe, including Emmen and Hoogeveen, where homes date from the 1960s and 1970s, the pointing is often the first to show signs of wear. Due to prolonged exposure to the elements, joints can weaken, the mortar can crumble, and moisture can penetrate. In such cases, the facade itself is often still in good condition, and renewing the pointing is sufficient. When necessary, we combine cleaning and renovation in a single operation, an efficient solution that saves time and money.
How much do facade cleaning and facade renovation cost in Drenthe?
Throughout Drenthe, we apply the same transparent rates: facade cleaning averaging €5 per m² and facade renovation €50 per m², excluding VAT. Whether you live in Assen, Emmen, or one of the smaller villages, we do not charge call-out fees within our service area. In older farmhouses and village homes, weathered pointing frequently comes to light alongside dirt. During the free inspection, we assess both and advise whether cleaning is sufficient or if renovation is a more sensible option.
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 Drenthe
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.
