UK-Based Specialists in Cladding Cleaning
APT ICC provides professional internal and external cladding cleaning services across England and Wales, supporting industrial, commercial, and specialist environments with a wide range of cladding systems. Cladding cleaning focuses on the safe and effective removal of dust, dirt, grease, staining, and environmental contamination from both exterior façades and internal wall and ceiling cladding.
The service is sometimes referred to as façade cleaning or building envelope cleaning. While the terminology may vary, the purpose remains the same: to clean cladding surfaces thoroughly while protecting the material and underlying structure. Internally, cladding can accumulate dust, airborne debris, grease, and process residue, particularly within factories, warehouses, and production environments. Externally, cladding is affected by pollution, algae, weathering, and general dirt.
APT ICC carries out internal cladding cleaning within food-safe, pharmaceutical, and other controlled environments where hygiene standards and audit compliance are critical. Cleaning methods and products are carefully selected to support site requirements, helping maintain clean conditions that meet inspection and audit expectations without introducing contamination or damage.
APT ICC cleans a wide range of cladding types, including metal cladding, composite panels, coated finishes, hygienic wall systems, and other modern façade materials. Each area is assessed before work begins to determine the most appropriate cleaning method. This may include controlled washing, soft washing, steam cleaning, or specialist internal dust removal techniques, depending on the environment and level of contamination present.
Cladding cleaning is commonly required to support hygiene control, maintain appearance, and ensure safe working environments. It is also carried out prior to audits, inspections, refurbishment works, or building handover. Cleaning can be completed at low level or at height and is carefully planned to suit live sites, ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
With over 35 years of experience, APT ICC is trusted to deliver cladding cleaning in sensitive and regulated environments. All works are completed under strict health, safety, and environmental controls, providing reliable, high-quality results for buildings across England and Wales.

Cladding cleaning removes dust, dirt, staining, grease, and environmental build-up from internal and external cladding surfaces. It helps restore appearance and keeps building surfaces in good condition. It’s commonly carried out in industrial units, warehouses, and commercial buildings.
Light cleaning at low level can sometimes be done in-house. However, larger areas, high-level cladding, or sensitive environments usually require specialist equipment and access methods. Poor cleaning can damage coatings or leave patchy results.
The best method depends on the cladding type and level of contamination. Soft washing, controlled pressure washing, or steam cleaning are commonly used. Using the wrong method can damage finishes or force water behind panels.
Internal cladding is cleaned using controlled methods and suitable chemicals to avoid contamination. Dust, grease, and residue are carefully removed without affecting hygiene standards. Planning and product selection are critical in these environments.

It can if not properly planned. Professional cladding cleaning is usually phased to limit downtime and maintain access. This is especially important on live industrial and commercial sites.
A specialist is recommended when working at height, in hygiene-critical areas, or where consistent results are required for audits or inspections. Experience helps ensure the work is completed safely and to a high standard. This reduces the risk of repeat cleaning or surface damage.
