Solution

Lichens, Mould & Moss Removal

The Brise Soleil had become heavily infested with dark green organic matter making the whole building look unpleasant.

Lichens secrete acids – which break down surfaces and coatings – causing failure of the surface to occur. It is important not to allow organic matter to stay too long on any surfaces to avoid discoloration of the finished surface.

Brise Soleil can be difficult to clean and Purple Rhino Cladding & Facade Cleaning team chose the Ultimate in Steam Cleaning equipment the  “Doff” Integra to clean and sanitise the surfaces gently and effectively.

Using a 20 metre GSR 200PX Access Platform (MEWP) high level areas were accessed safely.

The end result was extremely effective – the techniques and strategies used made the Brise Soleil appear as new – like when it was first installed.
