Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
Building facade cleaning in AlUla
AlUla is a historic oasis town north of Madinah in a fertile valley between the mountains of the Hisma plateau, with hot summers and cool winters. The abandoned old town of mud and stone sits beside expanding modern neighbourhoods and new tourism developments, and fine golden dust from the sandstone drifts everywhere.
Why a facade needs regular cleaning
-
The surface is protected
The wrong product costs more than the dirt it removes.
-
Access decided on site
We do not pick the access method from an office.
-
Glass stays clear
Calcium scale on glass turns into permanent etching if it is left.
-
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.
Why the job is different in AlUla
Light coloured marble and stone in new hotels shows the golden dust quickly, and frequent cleaning is necessary to maintain the tourism appeal of the new facilities. The whole method is set out in our full account of building facade cleaning.
-
Golden sand dust stains light facades rapidly
Sandstone surrounds AlUla and its fine golden dust drifts everywhere. Light coloured marble and stone in hotels and tourism facilities become stained quickly, damaging the appearance that visitors expect.
-
Heritage tourism sites draw crowds and raise dust
AlUla is a heritage tourism destination that attracts visitors from across the region. Visitor traffic, events and restaurants raise dust from pavements and streets constantly.
-
Extreme temperature swings damage materials through expansion
AlUla summers are very hot and winters are cool, and repeated temperature swings cause expansion and contraction in marble and stone. Tiny cracks can form and allow dust to settle inside the material.
What's Included
AlUla is surrounded by sandstone mountains and hills, and fine golden dust is easily lifted by wind and settles on every surface.
-
Roof survey and anchor points
The roof survey includes checking marble and stone for accumulated dust and fine crack formation from temperature cycles.
-
Access chosen: rope or powered
Powered lift or rope access is chosen based on facility height and site conditions.
-
A test patch before the whole elevation
Testing on a hidden marble patch confirms that products are safe and produce good results.
-
Glass and curtain walling
Marble is cleaned with very neutral products and handled gently to avoid scratching the surface.
-
Cladding and stone, pH-neutral
Sandstone is cleaned carefully because it is a fragile material that can be damaged by hard water.
-
Ground and passers-by protected
Surrounding pavements and walkways are cleaned carefully to remove dust before it enters the facility.

What is different about Al Madinah Region
Al Madinah Region pairs an inland holy city with a Red Sea coast. Madinah itself lies among the black basalt fields of Harrat Rahat, and its hotel towers, marble courtyards and wide plazas collect a dark volcanic dust in dry heat. Yanbu on the coast is a port and petrochemical city where humidity, salt spray and industrial fallout settle on glass and cladding together. Al Ula's new hotels and heritage sites sit in sandstone country whose fine golden dust drifts everywhere. Marble here stays dry but scratched, and coastal facades need the salt washed off before it etches the glass.
