Facade cleaning or renovation? Compare professionals near you

On average you pay € 8 to € 18 per m², depending on the method (soft washing, steam), the soiling and accessibility. For the front facade of a terraced house (± 45 m²) that comes to € 350-800. Above 2 storeys, scaffolding or lift hire is added.

A complete renovation — cleaning, repointing where needed and impregnation — costs € 40 to € 90 per m². For a terraced-house front facade that is € 1,800 to € 4,000; a whole house or an HOA building runs up to € 10,000 or more. How much pointing needs replacing determines most of the price.

That depends on the stone. Soft washing (low pressure with a cleaning agent) is the mildest and ideal against green algae; steam cleaning works well on soot and grease; blasting is only needed for paint layers and deeply ingrained grime. A good professional assesses the facade type and starts with a test patch.

Better not. A hard water jet washes out mortar joints, damages the brick skin and drives moisture deep into the wall — damage that only shows months later. That is why professionals use low pressure, steam or soft washing, matched to the stone.

After a cleaning visit, on a facade that greens up quickly, or when damp penetrates to the inside wall. Impregnation makes the facade water-repellent for 5 to 10 years and keeps it clean longer. Condition: bare, untreated stonework with sound pointing — repair damaged joints first.

Well-executed pointing lasts for decades; exactly how long depends on brick, mortar and exposure. Signs it needs repair: joints sanding out or crumbling, white deposits and damp patches indoors. Don't wait too long — moisture enters through open joints and frost damage follows.

Yes, but with care. Cleaning or blasting a listed building often requires a permit and the municipality sets requirements for the technique. Affiliated restoration specialists know those requirements, use the mildest methods and always start with a test patch.
