Facade cleaning in Étampes (91150)
Moss removal and cleaning of exterior walls, render and cladding. A technical job, quoted after a site visit.
Cleaning exterior walls is excluded from the Services à la Personne scheme: it counts as building work. No tax credit applies to this service.
This is a technical job rather than a simple wash. The surface is examined first: chalking render, a cracked coating or open cladding joints will not take what sound masonry takes. The cleaning is then matched to what that inspection shows, using the gentlest method that gives the result.
The price is quoted individually, with no standard rate card: two houses of the same size can involve very different work depending on height, access and the state of the wall. On your side, plan to close the windows, clear the flower beds along the wall and cover anything that water would spoil. The quote is free.
What is different in Étampes
The southernmost town we cover, with old joinery that needs a gentle method.
Old joinery holds dust where a modern seal lets it go: in the putty lines, at the foot of the pane, in the open grain of the wood. Single glazing takes condensation on top of that, which fixes the dust in place instead of carrying it away.
A historic centre of wooden frames and single glazing, with more recent suburban districts around it. In the old town the product matters as much as the technique: an ordinary stripper damages putty and bare wood in a single visit.
