Do you want to know how the price of facade maintenance for your facade is arrived at? Check out the choices below.
Choice 1: Is facade renovation necessary?
First of all, it is important that the facade specialist determines whether facade renovation work is needed. You can think about replacing a few bricks, but it could also be that the entire facade needs to be re-clad. The size of the project will determine the price.
Choice 2: Type of facade cleaning
There is an appropriate solution for every type of dirt on your facade. View the overview below to see which method of facade cleaning is suitable for your situation.
| Type of facade cleaning | Cost per m2, incl. labour costs and VAT | Working |
|---|---|---|
| Sandblasting | £10 – £17 | The coarse abrasive is sprayed against the façade with a high-pressure cleaner, causing the dirt to fly off the façade. |
| Moist blasting | £ 12 – £ 22 | The abrasive is mixed with water and sprayed onto the façade using a high-pressure cleaner. The dirt is sprayed off, as it were. |
| Fog blasting | £ 15 – £ 20 | The fine abrasive is sprayed dry or wet against the façade at low pressure. Whereby the dirt is removed. The pressure can be adjusted manually. |
| Steam cleaning | £ 5 – £ 15 | The water is heated to 150 degrees Celsius and, as it were, dissolves the soiling on the facade. |
| Chemical cleaning | £ 15 – £ 20 | Chemical agent is applied to the facade by means of a brush or handheld sprayer. Once it has taken effect, the façade is cleaned using a high-pressure cleaner. |
Choice 3: Type of jointing
Are the joints of your façade in need of refurbishment after cleaning, or do the joints need to be replaced? Find out below which type of grouting suits your facade.
| Type of grouting | Average cost per m², incl. £12 | – Most common – Rough finish – Aligned with the bricks in your facade |
|---|---|---|
| Flattened sunken grout | £10 – £12 | – Grout deeper than the bricks (2 – 5 mm behind the bricks) – -. Stone type stands out better |
| Shadow joint | £ 10 – £ 12 | – Smooth finish – Sloping corner – Shade accent on the horizontal lines |
| Cut joint | £ 50 – £ 100 | – Similar to cut joint – Protrudes from the façade – Tight lines |
Choice 4: Impregnation
Have you had your facade cleaned, then you have the choice of having your facade impregnated. The reason why you should have your facade impregnated is simple, you avoid having to call a facade specialist again for facade maintenance within a few years.
Apregnating your façade gives the bricks and joints a protective layer that repels dirt and moisture. Water will not get a chance to freeze between the bricks, reducing the risk of cracks in your facade. The average cost of a facade impregnation is £7 per m².
