03 / HERITAGE AND MONUMENTS

Façade cleaning.
Heritage and monuments.

Cleaning of historic facades and monuments following assessment of materials and conservation needs. Drone use depends on feasibility, setting and building requirements.

OUR APPROACH

Historic facades.
Conservation comes first.

For historic buildings and monuments, cleaning starts with an assessment of stone, finishes and their state of conservation. We assess the scope with the owner and the responsible technical team. Methods, preliminary tests and possible drone use depend on material compatibility and the building’s conservation requirements.

BEFORE EVERY OPERATION

Assessment shapes
the method.

01

Understand the material

We study the surface and architectural features to assess their condition and the treatment's compatibility.

02

Adjust the application

We consider low-pressure spraying where appropriate for the material and its conservation needs.

03

Care for the surroundings

We prepare access and the work area, and review the requirements and authorisations for each operation.

PREVENTION AND EFFICIENCY

Care for heritage.
And those who care for it.

When the surface and surroundings allow drone work from the ground, we avoid exposing people to height for that task. Less scaffolding can also mean less setup work and lower associated costs.

For heritage buildings, planning also accounts for the property's protection requirements. Every operation still requires its own risk assessment, safety coordination and the permits applicable to the work and the site.

Safety, planning and savings

COMPLEMENTARY EQUIPMENT

The right equipment.
For every surface.

Every type of stone and every building needs its own assessment. The method is defined before work is scheduled.

Cleaning drones

We assess feasibility on façades and elevated features. Drone access lets us explore alternatives to supporting access equipment, always according to the building's conditions.

20 m

Poles reaching up to 20 metres

Cleaning poles complement drone work in areas where they are suitable. Their maximum reach is 20 metres; we choose the access method according to the surface and the conditions of the operation. The 20-metre reach applies exclusively to the cleaning poles; the drone's working height is assessed for each operation.

BEFORE WE START

Facade cleaning: common questions.

Can a drone be used on any monument?

No. Feasibility depends on the material, its condition, geometry, surroundings and operating conditions. Fragile or sensitive features may require other methods or be excluded from the scope. The initial assessment must establish what can be treated and under which conditions.

Does cleaning replace restoration work?

No. Cleaning has a defined scope and does not replace diagnosis or restoration of deteriorated materials. If loose material, cracks or delicate finishes are observed, the intervention must be reviewed with the responsible technical team before treatment is applied.

What information helps us prepare a quote?

Send us the location, photographs, approximate height and area, surface material and the areas you want cleaned. Include available access and working hours. This helps us assess the scope and whether a site visit is needed.
