Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
Building facade cleaning in An Namas
An Namas is a high cool mountain town covered in forest and persistent fog, and its scattered housing faces conditions completely different from lowland cities. High humidity and constant fog mean facades stay damp far longer, and mould and algae grow at remarkable speed on any surface not cleaned regularly.
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 An Namas
Fog here is not just water but carries organic particles that settle on glass and stone, and mould grows at startling speed on any damp surface. The whole method is set out in the details of our building facade cleaning service.
-
Sustained high humidity and permanent fog cover
Fog blankets An Namas most days, and dew condenses on glass, stone and cladding through every night and morning. Facades stay damp even on days with no direct rain.
-
Rapid mould and algae growth at scale
Constant humidity causes mould and algae to grow faster than anywhere else in the Kingdom. Even new surfaces soil quickly from these living organisms.
-
Perpetual cold and its effect on glass and metal
Constant cold means metals corrode faster and condensation forms on glass continuously. Glass seals and frames degrade quickly from repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
What's Included
An Namas sits at very high altitude above Asir plains, fog covers it most of the year. Dew precipitation is heavy and seasonal rains arrive hard. Temperatures stay cool even in summer months.
-
Roof survey and anchor points
Mountain roofs may be uneven or very damp, so we test them carefully before ascending. Anchor points may be affected by moisture and mould growth.
-
Access chosen: rope or powered
Cold and fog mean ropes stay damp and slippery. We choose less foggy days if possible and use extra slip-resistant safety gear.
-
A test patch before the whole elevation
Testing is essential on stone and cladding because cold may affect cleaner reaction. Cleaners may freeze or leave residue in cool weather.
-
Glass and curtain walling
Glass here faces constant dew formation and mould. We use deionised water and only soft cloths to avoid scratching the surface.
-
Cladding and stone, pH-neutral
Cladding and stone are exposed to mould and algae. We use cleaners with anti-mould agents and treat the surface after washing.
-
Ground and passers-by protected
Ground is constantly damp and weather is cold, so ice may form underfoot. We protect foot traffic from slipping and remove all water quickly.
