Who we are

Cleaning the uncleanable, safely.

For decades, exterior work above three storeys has meant scaffolding, harnessed crews and cherry pickers. None of those scale. All of them are slow.

Our drones reach 60 m up a façade on a tether, washing glass, cladding, signage and roofs while both operators stay on the footpath — no scaffold, no cherry picker, no rope.

Drone operation overview
Safety & reporting

Off height, and fully documented.

Every commercial wash is planned around a site-specific safety plan, a pre-flight risk assessment and defined exclusion zones before the crew mobilises.

We finish with matched before-and-after imagery and a record of the methodology and chemistry used — clear evidence for facilities teams, owners and compliance files.

How a wash runs

Three visits, one mobilisation.

01

Survey & flight plan

We fly the perimeter, identify substrate and damage, and set exclusion zones and a waste water management plan before quoting a fixed price.

02

Ground-operated wash

Tethered Sherpa delivers soft wash or high-pressure to the surface while the crew stays on the ground.

03

Post-job report

Same flight paths re-flown for before/after imagery, plus chemistry and methodology log for compliance.

Building washing · FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Which building surfaces can you wash?

We assess façades, cladding, signage, glass and roofs. The wash method and chemistry depend on the material, coating and condition, so we inspect the surface before confirming a scope.

Will the building need scaffolding or rope access?

The tethered wash drone can reach up to 60 m from the ground on suitable sites. We still assess nearby obstacles, public access and the working area before deciding how the job can be done safely.

What do you need from us on the day?

We agree on a safe launch area, exclusion zones and any water or power requirements during planning. Access to areas below the work may need to be temporarily restricted.

What is included in the quote?

The quote sets out the surfaces, wash method, access arrangements and reporting included. Any unusual site preparation or traffic management is identified during the assessment.
