Commercial Offices

Is your office property projecting the right image to existing and potential clients? An office building’s façade is vital; when it is dirty, damaged or showing visible signs of wear and tear, it can actively discourage people from stepping beyond the threshold. Styles Façade Solutions® (formerly Thomann-Hanry®) is the UK’s premier partner for facade cleaning for commercial offices, delivering cleaning and restoration solutions across the sector. Since its founding in 2005, the company has been involved in numerous projects covering the commercial office sector.

We understand that commercial office properties have specific requirements during exterior façade works. To mitigate disruption, our team can conduct works outside of normal opening hours or ensure the removal of all equipment at the end of each shift, reducing the impact on your business’s day-to-day operations.

By using our bespoke fleet of MEWPs (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms), we offer a scaffold-free alternative for all your façade inspection, cleaning, restoration and repair requirements. This helps you to reduce costs, decrease the time required, and prevent your building being enveloped by unsightly scaffolding for months on end.

FAÇADE SURVEYS

Taking a preventative approach to structural defects and repairs allows estate and building managers to reduce capital expenditure by catching issues before they develop into serious or potentially dangerous problems. These issues can also impact staff, clients, and the wider public, leading to significant reputational and financial consequences.

To ensure a swift turnaround on our façade surveys, we use MEWPs and, where required drone technology. This reduces the time, disruption to your business, and costs associated with erecting scaffolding. It also allows loose or dangerous structural items to be made safe or removed during the initial survey.

The Styles Façade Solutions team of façade specialists are qualified and experienced, offering an authoritative, knowledgeable appraisal with detailed recommendations for the best course of action.

Our surveys are conducted by qualified façade specialists. Upon completion, you will receive a detailed, colour-coded report that categorises risks into priority windows (one, six, or 12 months), enabling transparent budgeting for your retail property portfolio.

FAÇADE CLEANING

Styles Façade Solutions has gained a reputation for being the UK’s premier facade cleaning for commercial offices company, offering a scaffold-free, dry and non-abrasive alternative to traditional cleaning methods such as high-pressure steam and harsh cleaning solutions. Through a gentle, non-abrasive cleaning process (Façade Gommage), where the dirt and grime are effectively and efficiently removed to reveal the natural stone or surface of the building. This process is suitable for most surface substrates on modern or historic buildings.

Projected under low pressure from a cabin mounted on a hydraulic boom, ultrafine dry particles of aluminium silicate (a chemically inert by-product of aluminium smelting) flow across all surfaces, gently rubbing away decades of dirt and grime before being drawn off, filtered and collected through a water curtain for recycling.

The security and safety aspects of the Façade Gommage cleaning process set it apart from traditional techniques. At the end of a day’s cleaning, the cabin is simply retracted on its hydraulic boom, leaving property security completely uncompromised.

Our platforms and truck mounts are fast and discreet, so cleaning takes years off your building without taking ages to prepare. We can also work outside of standard business hours, ensuring minimal disruption to the building’s occupants.

FAÇADE MAINTENANCE, RESTORATION & REPAIR

There is a popular misconception that you must shroud your building in unsightly, expensive and time-consuming scaffolding to undertake façade maintenance works.

However, with over 20 years of experience, our maintenance team has a proven track record of delivering virtually all types of maintenance and restoration works from MEWPs. This offers a significant advantage, allowing for minimal disruption to the day-to-day operations of busy commercial office sites, making our approach to façade cleaning for commercial offices particularly effective.

Using MEWPs instead of scaffolding, we have completed stone repairs, repointing, roofing, painting, mastic replacement and bird proofing at many high-profile locations across London and further afield. There is no element of façade work that our restoration and repair team cannot carry out.

WINDOW AND FAÇADE PAINTING & DECORATING

Styles Façade Solutions® is your specialist commercial painting and decorating partner, with a proven track record of best practice and industry-leading techniques in the preservation, repair and upkeep of painted surfaces (such as windows, timberwork, render, and railings) on commercial properties.

We work from MEWPs, which offer unparalleled cost and time savings, while also avoiding the need to shroud a building in unsightly scaffolding for months on end.

For buildings with painted render or cladding, our professional painters will paint the façade of your building quickly and effectively. If necessary, we can remove any existing paint, repair and renew the underlying render or cladding then prime and paint, to give your property a fresh new look.

Our team is also well-placed to carry out maintenance on your windows and frames. We don’t just paint and decorate windows; we also remove any defective putty and sealants and then replace and renew them. This ensures that windows, doors and other timber sections are free from leaks, which might lead to water ingress.

Our years of experience allow us to ensure your painting projects are managed from start to finish, with quality in mind. All our commercial painters and decorators are trained by the Repair Care International Dulux Academy in the repair, maintenance, and conservation of joinery.
