How often should commercial gutters be cleaned?

At least once a year, usually in late autumn, and twice a year on sites with trees or flat roofs that collect debris.

How often should cladding be cleaned?

Every one to two years for most buildings, more often on exposed or coastal sites. Check whether your cladding warranty requires regular cleaning.

Can one contractor handle all of this?

Yes. We plan windows, gutters, cladding, hard surfaces and solar panels in one schedule with one point of contact.

Commercial building exterior maintenance: a planned checklist

Reactive maintenance is expensive: a blocked gutter becomes a leak, a slippery path becomes an accident, neglected cladding loses its finish. A simple planned schedule for the outside of your building avoids most of it. Use this checklist as a starting point.

Windows and glazing

Entrances and ground floor: every 1 to 4 weeks, depending on footfall.
Upper floors: every 4 to 12 weeks.
Skylights and roof glazing: once or twice a year.
Watch for: failed seals (misting between panes), damaged frames, broken handles.

Gutters and drainage

Clear gutters and outlets: once a year in late autumn, twice on sites with trees or flat roofs.
Keep photo records: before and after photos help with insurance and maintenance audits.
Watch for: overflow staining on walls, plants growing from gutters, sagging runs.

Cladding and fascias

Clean cladding: every 1 to 2 years, more on exposed, coastal or roadside sites.
Check warranty terms: some manufacturers require regular cleaning to keep the warranty valid.
Watch for: algae streaks below gutters, chalking or fading, loose panels.

Hard surfaces

Pressure wash entrances and walkways: once or twice a year, before winter for slip safety.
Car parks and loading areas: as needed for oil, gum and algae.

Solar panels

Clean arrays: once or twice a year, using pure water only.
Compare output: check generation before and after cleaning to set the right frequency.

New buildings and refurbishments

After construction or refurbishment, a builders clean removes stickers, film and residue before the building is handed over and goes onto a regular schedule.
