Exterior Façades & Surface Washing

Post-construction exterior washdowns are essential for presenting a pristine building perimeter and securing client sign-off ahead of Practical Completion. Operating across Cork, Munster, and Dublin, Glanire provides specialized commercial pressure washing and low-pressure soft washing for main building contractors, property developers, and civil engineering projects. We safely remove site mud, mortar splatter, render bloom, atmospheric grime, and construction runoff without damaging modern architectural finishes.

Our external teams utilise self-contained wash systems and specialized surface chemistry:

Low-Pressure Render Soft Washing: Gentle chemical treatment and steam/soft washing for sensitive modern renders (K-Rend, Monocouche, Weber) to safely remove grime, algae, and trade staining without etching surfaces.
Commercial Cladding Cleaning: High-reach washing and detailing of architectural metal panels, composite cladding, and curtain wall exteriors.
Heavy-Duty Ground Surface Washing: High-volume hot and cold pressure washing with industrial rotary flat-surface cleaners for concrete yards, block paving, curbs, and tarmac.
Mortar & Efflorescence Removal: Controlled chemical neutralisation and removal of salt bloom (efflorescence), cement slurry, and plaster runoff from new brickwork and masonry.
Site Compound & Handover Washdown: Perimeter washdowns of car parks, pedestrian walkways, entrance plazas, and site compound boundaries prior to practical completion handovers.

We tailor our wash protocols to the specific substrate and operational demands of each project:

Commercial Office & Retail Developments: Complete exterior washdowns for retail parks, corporate facades, and entrance forecourts.
Multi-Unit Residential Schemes: Phased washdown of new-build driveways, footpaths, brick facades, and boundary walls ahead of homeowner handovers.
