Why does your facade no longer look fresh?
You are standing in the garden and you notice it: dark spots on the brickwork, a greenish haze along the north facade, or white efflorescence around the joints. Perhaps you thought it would go away on its own. That does not happen.
Green deposits, algae, and moss adhere to the outer layer of your brickwork. In shady corners, it grows faster than you think. Over time, the contamination penetrates deep into the masonry, and your facade becomes more porous. The result is moisture seeping in from the outside, cold interior walls, and a facade that looks worse every year.
Particularly in terraced houses from the 1960s and 70s, we observe that the original bricks are vulnerable to this deterioration. Early intervention prevents cleaning alone from becoming insufficient and renovation from becoming necessary.
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
For light soiling on an easily accessible facade, soapy water and a soft brush will go a long way. However, if it returns within a year, or if the soiling is embedded in the pores of the stone, professional cleaning is advisable. We prefer to be honest about this rather than selling you something you don't need.
How much does facade cleaning cost?
Facade cleaning costs an average of €5 per square meter, excluding VAT. For a terraced house with approximately 80 m² of facade, this works out to around €400. The degree of soiling of the facade and its accessibility determine whether the cost is slightly below or above this figure.
Every property is different, so we always prepare a custom quote. There are no costs associated with this. If you would like a clear price indication for your specific situation, please feel free to contact us.

Frequently asked questions about facade cleaning
For light green deposits, you can try using a soft brush and cleaning vinegar. However, we advise against this for stubborn algae, moss, or saltpeter. Using the wrong method or applying too much pressure will damage the grout and make the problem worse. In that case, have a specialist take a look.
On average every three to five years, depending on the location and the facade material. A north-facing facade that is often in the shade requires maintenance sooner than a south-facing facade. We recommend a brief inspection every spring.
Not if the right method is chosen. Steam cleaning works under low pressure and does not damage healthy joints. More caution is required with sandblasting, which is why we always assess the condition of the jointing first. Is it weathered? Then we recommend repair first.
Steam cleaning uses hot water under low pressure and is suitable for most brick facades. Blasting, such as air blasting or dry ice blasting, works with fine particles that remove stubborn dirt. Blasting is more powerful but is not suitable for every facade type. We determine the best fit together with you.
We recommend this in most cases. Impregnation makes your facade water-repellent without changing its appearance. Dirt adheres less quickly and the masonry continues to breathe. See how facade impregnation works.
