Final considerations
It’s not just the method which needs to be considered
when looking to clean and refresh a historic or listed
building’s façade. The company you are looking to employ
will also need to show that they understand the need for
sympathetic cleaning for these types of buildings.
For those buildings which have listed or scheduled
monument status, working with a company who understands the constrains which will need to be applied to any
cleaning methods is vital. Ask to see examples of the types
of buildings which they have previously worked on and
how they were able to execute a sympathetic façade clean.
