Façade Cleaning with Drone
Stockholm Drone Teknik AB offers façade cleaning with drone for houses, housing associations, properties and companies. With modern drone technology, we can clean façades in a safe and efficient way without personnel always needing to work from lifts, scaffolding or directly against the façade.
The method is especially suitable for façades affected by dirt, algae, mould, organic growth and discolouration, where traditional cleaning can become time-consuming, costly or difficult to carry out on high and hard-to-reach surfaces.
We adapt the method, pressure and cleaning solution to the façade material, condition and specific needs. The goal is always to clean effectively without damaging the façade.
Why Façade Cleaning Matters
The façade is one of the most exposed parts of a building. It is affected every day by weather, wind, rain, air pollution, pollen, algae, mould and other organic growth. Over time, this can make the façade look dirty, discoloured and worn.
Regular façade cleaning helps preserve the appearance of the building and can also make it easier to detect problems in time. Dirt, algae and organic growth can hide cracks, damage, moisture-related issues or other deviations that may need closer inspection.
With façade cleaning with drone, large and hard-to-reach surfaces can be cleaned efficiently without always needing lifts, scaffolding or rope access. This makes the method especially interesting for houses, housing associations, property owners and companies with taller buildings or façades that are difficult to access from the ground.
Façade Cleaning with Drone Without Scaffolding or Lift
Traditional façade cleaning often requires physical access to the full façade. On taller buildings, this may involve lifts, scaffolding or other access equipment. This can be time-consuming and costly, especially when large surfaces need to be treated.
With drones, cleaning can be carried out from the ground through controlled flight along the façade. The drone can reach high and hard-to-access parts of the building and apply water or cleaning solution in a more flexible way.
This does not mean that drones always replace traditional methods, but in many cases façade cleaning with drone can be a faster, safer and more cost-effective alternative for the first cleaning or treatment of the façade.
Which Method Is Right for Your Façade?
The choice of method is important for achieving a good result. A façade should not be cleaned more aggressively than necessary, because material, age, paint, joints and existing condition affect how the surface should be treated.
That is why each façade cleaning project is adapted to the building and to the type of dirt or organic growth that needs to be removed.
Our Method
Before work begins, we assess the façade material, height, access, condition and type of dirt or organic growth. Based on this, we choose a method that suits the assignment.
The work may include application of cleaning solution, treatment of organic growth, controlled rinsing and documentation of the façade condition before or after the cleaning. When needed, façade cleaning can also be combined with drone inspection to document damage, cracks or visible deviations.
Our goal is to carry out the work safely, efficiently and with respect for the building material.
Benefits of Façade Cleaning with Drone
Façade cleaning with drone offers several practical advantages, especially for high, large or hard-to-reach façades.
Benefits:
- reduced need for lifts or scaffolding
- efficient cleaning of high and hard-to-reach surfaces
- faster setup on site
- less disruption for residents, businesses and surroundings
- possibility to adapt the method to the façade material
- safer workflow because the work is controlled from the ground
- possibility to combine cleaning with visual documentation
- suitable for houses, housing associations, properties and commercial buildings
For property owners and housing associations, the method can be especially useful when larger façade areas need to be treated without covering the entire building with scaffolding.
Which Façades Can Be Cleaned with Drone?
Façade cleaning with drone can be used on several types of buildings and façade materials, but the method must always be adapted to the surface.
Examples of buildings where façade cleaning with drone can be relevant:
- houses
- terraced houses
- housing associations
- apartment buildings
- commercial properties
- industrial buildings
- warehouse buildings
- offices and public buildings
Examples of façade types:
- rendered façades
- wooden façades
- metal façades
- brick façades
- concrete façades
- façade panels
- glass sections and hard-to-reach façade areas
Not all façades are suitable for the same cleaning method. That is why an assessment is always made before the work is carried out.
Façade Cleaning for Houses, Housing Associations and Property Owners
For house owners, façade cleaning with drone can be a practical option when the façade is high, difficult to reach or heavily affected by algae and dirt.
For housing associations, drone technology can make it easier to treat larger façade surfaces with less disruption for residents. It can also be a good first step before maintenance planning or further façade inspection.
For property owners and companies, façade cleaning with drone can improve the overall impression of the building and create better conditions for long-term maintenance.
What Does Façade Cleaning with Drone Cost?
The price for façade cleaning with drone depends on several factors, including building height, façade area, material type, access, level of dirt or organic growth, cleaning method, water supply and whether special planning is required for the site.
Because every façade has different conditions, the price is normally provided after a short review of the object. To give a clearer price estimate, we usually need to know:
- building type
- approximate façade area
- number of floors or façade height
- façade material
- type of dirt or organic growth
- location and access
- whether water is available on site
- whether several façade sides need to be cleaned
ROT Deduction for Façade Cleaning
Façade cleaning may in some cases qualify for ROT deduction when the work is carried out on a private residence and the other conditions are met. The rules can depend on the type of work, the property and who orders the service.
We always recommend that the customer checks the current rules with Skatteverket before ordering if ROT deduction is important for the assignment.
For housing associations, companies and commercial properties, the conditions are normally different than for private individuals.
How Façade Cleaning with Drone Works
The process begins with a review of the property and the façade conditions. The work is then planned based on method, safety, water supply, cleaning solution, weather and the practical conditions on site.
A typical workflow may look like this:
- Review of façade, material and needs
- Assessment of method and access
- Safety and drone flight planning
- Application of cleaning solution or water
- Controlled cleaning and rinsing
- Optional documentation before and after the work
- Final review and delivery
When needed, we can also document the façade with images or video after the work has been completed.
Safety, Rules and Planning
Façade cleaning with drone requires careful planning. The flight must be carried out safely with consideration for people, buildings, vehicles, weather, wind, airspace and surroundings.
In certain areas, additional planning or permits may be required depending on location, flight height, proximity to airports, urban environment or other sensitive surroundings.
We plan every assignment individually so that the work can be carried out safely and professionally.
