Bannatyne Burton: External Cleaning Delivered to VIP Standard
Project Type: External Steam Cleaning & Hardstanding Preparation
Client: Bannatyne Burton
Scope: Full facade cleaning, hardstanding restoration, night work delivery
Deadline: Completed to schedule ahead of pre-arranged VIP visit
Overview
Bannatyne Burton commissioned Exterius to carry out a full external clean of their Burton facility ahead of a planned VIP visit. The objective was clear: restore all external surfaces, including the facade, cladding and hardstanding, to a high standard while working entirely out of hours to avoid disrupting the club’s daily operation.
The site required a professional contractor capable of delivering high-level external cleaning services under restricted access, with full control of safety, logistics, and complex operational delivery.
The Scope of Work
The cleaning package included:
- Full external steam cleaning of building façades and metal cladding.
- Complete hardstanding cleaning of car parks, pathways and entrance zones.
- High-access cleaning delivered via IPAF-trained operatives and MEWP platforms.
- Work carried out during night shifts to ensure zero impact on daytime operations.
- Full site RAMS (Risk Assessments & Method Statements) and H&S management.


Our Solution
This project played directly to Exterius’ core strengths:
Technical capability, specialist equipment, and professionally managed delivery.
DOFF Steam Cleaning
All external metal cladding and façade areas were restored using DOFF steam technology. This method safely removes algae, moss, dirt and pollution without damaging sensitive surfaces.
- High-temperature, low-pressure steam.
- No harsh chemicals.
- Fully controlled to protect building substrates.
- Sustainable, with minimal water use.
Mosmatic Flat Surface Cleaning
For hardstanding areas, Exterius deployed Mosmatic rotary surface cleaners to achieve a uniform clean across large paved zones.
- High-speed, consistent cleaning of car parks, entrance routes and walkways.
- Safe operation even in poor light conditions.
- Immediate, visible restoration results.
Controlled Night Work
All works were delivered safely during overnight windows:
- Mobile lighting systems deployed for full visibility.
- Constant supervision and safety checks.
- Fully IPAF-trained access operators.
- Close communication with site management throughout.
