Good Repair Guide
Abstract
Cleaning the facade of a building can enhance its appearance. However, it can also make the building more unsightly and damage the walling materials. Cleaning is best considered when other maintenance or repair work is needed. Changes in the appearance of a building brought about by these activities can often be evened out by a cleaning operation. This good repair guide gives advice on the methods and precautions for different types of soiling on different wall surfaces to help surveyors and contractors.
