Why Spring and Summer Are the Best Time for Exterior Building Cleaning
As spring arrives and the days grow lighter, it’s the perfect time to refresh your commercial property—starting with the exterior. After a long, wet winter, buildings across the UK are left with algae, grime, moss, and surface damage that, if left untreated, can affect not just appearance but performance, compliance, and safety.
At Exterius, we deliver professional exterior building cleaning and specialist cleaning services designed to restore and protect the value of your property. From facades and cladding to windows, grounds and commercial walkways, we offer a complete package that ensures your building makes the right impression all summer long.
Why Exterior Cleaning Matters Most in Spring and Summer
1. Winter Leaves Behind More Than Dirt
Months of harsh weather can stain brickwork, clog gutters, erode finishes, and encourage moss and algae growth on walkways and facades. Addressing this now prevents long-term damage and helps avoid the higher costs of reactive repair work.
As an experienced industrial cleaning company, we help facilities managers tackle winter residue early—ensuring their site is fit for purpose before peak operational periods begin.
2. Ideal Weather = Ideal Conditions
Spring and summer provide better drying times and working conditions, allowing our operatives to deliver:
- Higher efficiency
- Safer working at height
- Reduced risk of water ingress or disruption
Our technical cleaning services perform best in stable weather, whether we’re restoring a listed stone facade with DOFF steam cleaning or commercial jet washing an expansive public forecourt.
3. Summer Footfall Demands a Great First Impression
More daylight, warmer weather, and busier foot traffic mean your exterior matters more than ever. Whether you run a retail estate, office complex or industrial unit, a clean, well-maintained exterior communicates professionalism, safety, and pride in your business. At Exterius, we support businesses with specialist deep cleaning services that enhance the visibility, cleanliness, and safety of their entire external environment—from ground level to rooftop.
