The cleaning history of buildings is often poorly documented and the key details are left unclear. With limited information available, clients trust service providers to provide the best options or costs possible, which may result in over-cleaning or abrasive cleaning methods being used. Detailed pre-project condition surveys and cleaning test trials minimise such risks. They build the knowledge bank needed to ensure you refurbish and repair your building using precise methods and processes. If you want the best possible options and budget variations, testing should be your preferred solution.
Façade cleaning test trials are instrumental in specifying the correct solutions, methods and processes for your project. They create alignment, understanding and build value. A guaranteed solution of ensuring everyone involved in your project is on the same page from the outset. Read some of our recent examples of work at Bloomberg.
Regardless of your façade fabric, we guarantee to develop a testing solution by gathering the information you need to build a solid business case, budget, or maintenance plan. We know clients want complete clarity at the beginning of the project. That’s why we have a dedicated surveying team who can provide clients with the information they need to effectively restore the building envelope. If you are looking for greater cost, method, and programme certainty contact us today and speak to a senior technical surveyor to learn more about our onsite testing procedures.

A 200,000 sq. ft., four-storey leisure venue in the heart of Nottingham city centre surrounded by major traffic routes needed work to be done overnight. The Building Transformation staff were flexible and able to work around dynamic operational issues completing the project within three weeks.

I am using Building Transformation’s work to help justify façade restoration works around our business. They have produced excellent presentations on what can be achieved and is a brilliant piece of informed marketing that is helping win people over in our business to take façade cleaning and restoration more seriously.
Edward Cooper Young
Building Transformation is always mindful of the environments they are working in and take the time to understand the restrictions of each site; whether they be physical or due to the client’s day to day activities. They are extremely proactive and ensure that any issues are flagged to a client immediately, and when doing so always make sure a solution is provided. I couldn’t recommend Building Transformation more highly.
Novotel Sheffield
I had a walk around today with Dave and am impressed with the work so far. Dave and the team have done a great job.
I’d certainly love to work with you in the future so perhaps before the job is completed we could look at what opportunities there are for the future.
Novotel Leeds
At this stage, from my point of view your team has been extremely professional, informing us of what was happening at all times and most importantly no disruption whatsoever to our guests and business.

The team at Building Transformation understood our challenge of finding a facade cleaning solution that would initially restore the glazing to its original state, protecting our building for years to come. Through intelligent and thorough testing right through to the full restoration of Block D, we have been very satisfied with the project management and delivery of the cleaning programme.
