Facade cleaning and facade renovation: when is what needed?
In Emmen, we use a simple method to assess the condition of your facade. Rub your thumb over the jointing: if sand or mortar comes loose, renovation is necessary. Is the facade still solid but soiled by deposits? Then a thorough cleaning is often the first step.
With facade cleaning, we remove dirt such as algae, green deposits, and efflorescence. The right method depends on the type of facade. For delicate masonry, we opt for steam cleaning, while for stubborn dirt on sturdy brick, we use techniques such as air blasting or dry ice blasting.
Facade renovation focuses on addressing the root cause. Worn mortar is removed and reapplied, and damaged bricks are repaired or replaced. In most cases, we recommend impregnating the facade after renovation so that the new mortar is well protected against moisture and dirt. We assess every facade on-site and provide honest and appropriate advice – even if that means less work is required than you might have expected.
Our work in Emmen
Emmen features a wide variety of facade types, requiring a targeted and well-considered approach. Particularly in and around the city center, 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 Emmen, 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, providing an efficient solution that saves time and money.
How much do facade cleaning and facade renovation cost in Emmen?
In Emmen, facade cleaning costs an average of €5 per m² and facade renovation €50 per m², excluding VAT. Many homes in neighborhoods such as Emmermeer and Angelslo date from the 1950s to the 1970s. After decades, deposits have become deeply embedded in the masonry, and the joints are often in need of maintenance. Cleaning without assessing the jointing makes little sense in such cases. Therefore, we examine both during the free inspection, and you will receive a quotation tailored to the condition of your facade.
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 Emmen
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.
