Jet washing, chemical cleaning and DOFF · Swindon

DOFF cleaning in Swindon.

DOFF superheated steam, chemical, jet wash and soft-wash cleaning for facades, cladding and hard surfaces. Method chosen to the substrate. Heritage-safe is the default, not an upgrade. Delivered across Swindon and Wiltshire. Warehouse coatings, resin floors and industrial decorating across Swindon. The town's distribution and logistics estates along the M4, and the manufacturing units that came with them, are the core of the programme. Live-site wall and steel coatings, epoxy floors specified to forklift traffic, all delivered zone by zone.

Swindon programme

How we run jet washing, chemical cleaning and doff schemes locally.

1. 01 · Survey

   Substrate type confirmed (stone, brick, render, cladding), soiling type assessed (atmospheric, biological, paint, soot), test-area agreed with client. Pressure or steam method confirmed before any work begins.

2. 02 · Specification

   DOFF steam for heritage or sensitive substrates; chemical biocide for biological growth; jet wash for hard surfaces where pressure won't damage; soft-wash where pressure and chemistry both need controlling. Run-off pH and disposal route set out.

3. 03 · RAMS

   Project-specific RAMS: chemical handling, PPE matrix, run-off containment plan, exclusion zones during application, pedestrian and vehicle protection. COSHH for any biocide or neutraliser.

4. 04 · Delivery

   Containment bunded, test area cleaned and signed off by client, full application by elevation. Neutraliser applied where chemical spec calls for it. Public access protected throughout.

5. 05 · Handover

   Before/after photo record, cleaning record (method, products, pH readings where relevant), condition note if coating or restoration work is to follow.

Frequently asked · Swindon

What clients in Swindon usually ask first.

Can you coat a working distribution centre?

Yes. We phase by zone so picking and dispatch carry on around us, reopening each area before moving to the next.

Do you do warehouse floor coatings?

Yes. Epoxy and polyurethane systems specified to the slab and the traffic load, with the downtime agreed up front, not assumed.

What about access in high-bay units?

MEWPs, scaffold and mast climbers as the building needs; agreed at survey alongside the traffic-management plan.

Is DOFF safe for heritage stone and brick?

Yes. Superheated steam at low pressure removes soiling without abrading the substrate. We sample-clean a test area and agree the result before proceeding.

How is run-off managed?

Contained, captured and disposed in line with the chemical spec and site drainage rules. Set out in the RAMS pack before mobilisation.

Will it strip existing paintwork?

The cleaning regime is matched to the substrate. If the intention is to preserve the existing coating, we confirm that in the spec. If it's a preamble to re-coating, we can strip in the same pass.

Can it be done at height?

Yes. MEWP or scaffold access, chosen at survey based on elevation height and run-off management requirements.

Why won't you quote without a site visit?

The chemistry is substrate-specific. The same stone on two different buildings can behave differently due to previous treatment, weathering or salt contamination. A site visit takes 30 minutes and prevents a specification that damages the facade.
