Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning

Building facade cleaning across Saudi Arabia

Every job starts with a survey from the roof and an access plan chosen to suit the building.

Why a facade needs regular cleaning

Riyadh dust is fine, mineral and constant, so it settles onto glass and cladding and leaves a dull film that ages a building fast. Hard water leaves calcium scale on the glass, and left long enough it etches the surface so it no longer polishes off. An alkaline cleaner strips the coating on cladding and the panel then oxidises unevenly. Regular cleaning stops all of that before it becomes permanent.

  • The surface is protected

    The wrong product costs more than the dirt it removes. We use a pH-neutral cleaner on cladding and stone, so the coating is not stripped and the panel does not oxidise, and the elevation still looks even a year later.

  • Access decided on site

    We do not pick the access method from an office. A tower with sound anchor points suits rope access, while a boom lift needs firm ground in front for its outriggers, and the choice is made after the survey on the building itself.

  • Glass stays clear

    Calcium scale on glass turns into permanent etching if it is left. We remove it before it bites into the surface, and we treat the hard water in a way that leaves the frame and the silicone around each pane untouched.

  • The building keeps running

    We plan the access and the working hours around how the building is used through the day, and we protect the ground, the entrances and anyone passing below. Doors and walkways stay open while we work on the elevation above them.

What's Included

Every elevation goes through these steps, from the first survey to lifting the protection off the ground.

  • Roof survey and anchor points

    We go up to the roof first to read the anchor points, the ground below them, the surface type and how the building is used through the day before deciding anything.

  • Access chosen: rope or powered

    We choose between rope access and a powered lift based on what the survey shows: sound anchor points for rope, or firm ground in front for the lift's outriggers.

  • A test patch before the whole elevation

    We try the product and the method on a small, out-of-sight patch first and confirm the surface is unaffected before we take it across the whole elevation.

  • Glass and curtain walling

    We clear calcium scale and dust from glass and curtain walling with products that spare the frame and silicone, before the scale etches the surface for good.

  • Cladding and stone, pH-neutral

    We clean cladding and stone with a pH-neutral detergent, because an alkaline one strips the protective coating and leaves the panel oxidising unevenly after the wash.

  • Ground and passers-by protected

    We cover the ground below the work point and cordon off the path for passers-by, entrances and parked cars, so no spray reaches them and nothing falls onto anyone.

Questions before booking

Can you work outside business hours?

Yes, we plan the access and the washing around how the building is used. If the elevation sits over a busy entrance or a shopfront, we do the work at a quieter part of the day or over the weekend so the flow below the work point is not disrupted.

Do we need to prepare anything first?

Not much. Keep the windows shut on the day and tell us where cars park and which entrances are busy so we can cordon them off. The rest is on us: we cover the ground and set up the anchor points or the lift position ourselves.

How do you keep the work safe at height?

Safety starts at the roof survey. We check the anchor points before any rope is hung, confirm the ground in front of a lift will take its outriggers, and cordon off the area below the work point so no one passes underneath while we are up there.

How long does a facade take?

It depends on the height, the surface type and the access method. A villa elevation is usually a day, while a glazed tower needs longer. We give you a firm duration after the roof survey, not before, because any figure before the survey is a guess.

Does this suit cladding and stone?

Yes, and each surface is handled with the right material. Cladding and stone are cleaned with a pH-neutral detergent because an alkaline one strips the coating, while glass needs the scale treated. We test on a small patch first to confirm your surface is unaffected.

How long does a facade stay clean?

Riyadh dust is fine and never stops, so the elevation dulls again gradually however well it was washed. That is why we suggest a regular schedule rather than waiting for the layer to build up, since routine cleaning keeps the scale from etching the glass.

Book a facade survey

Get in touch and describe your building, its height and its facade type, and we will arrange a survey from the roof before settling the access and the duration.
