Facade cleaning in Montlhéry (91310)
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 Montlhéry
The old centre around the tower is full of small-pane windows, cleaned one pane at a time.
Small-pane windows hold what a single large sheet lets run off. Dust thrown up by the traffic, and the rain that drives it back down, settle into every corner of every glazing bar — the place a cloth reaches worst. It builds slowly, and in the end it sets hard.
Terraced town houses with wooden frames and glazing bars in the old centre, more recent detached houses around it. Two methods in one commune, and two very different amounts of time on site: in the old centre you count panes, not square metres.
