Facade Cleaning Services in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & the UAE

A window cleaner washes the glass. A facade cleaning company treats the whole elevation — the glazing, but also the aluminium or stone cladding around it, the render, the reveals, the signage. Each material needs a different approach: the wrong pressure or chemical on anodised aluminium leaves it dull, and what lifts grime off render can etch natural stone. Vertex surveys the facade material by material before pricing, not just the glass.

Where the brief is glass only — a curtain wall elevation, a glazed lobby, a podium of shopfronts — Vertex runs facade glass cleaning as its own scope, priced and scheduled separately from cladding or stone work. Purified water for a spot-free finish, worked from rope or pole depending on the height, with the same written method statement as a full facade job.

Three things land on every facade in the UAE. Dust and sand settle on ledges and glass, then bake on in the heat. Salt from the Gulf coats waterfront towers and dulls glass and metal within weeks. Cement dust from construction next door streaks the elevation the moment humidity rises.

Left for a few months, that film starts to etch glass and stain cladding. At that point the clean costs more, and some marks never come off. A facade on a regular cycle stays cheaper to maintain than one cleaned only when it looks bad from the street.

Monthly for waterfront towers, hotels and buildings next to active construction. Every two to three months for most residential and office towers. At least twice a year for low-exposure buildings, with a glass-only clean in between.

Exposure varies between elevations more than most facility managers expect. The sea-facing side of a tower often needs twice the attention of the others, so Vertex can schedule each elevation on its own cycle instead of cleaning the whole building on the dirtiest side's timetable.

Five things set the price: the height and area of the elevations, the material mix (glass alone is quicker than glass, cladding and stone together), access and anchor condition, the working hours the building allows, and how often the job repeats.

An annual maintenance contract (AMC) costs less per clean than one-off visits, because the team already knows the anchors, the problem elevations and the tenants. Vertex prices every facade from a free site survey, never from a photo or a phone call.

Vertex Plus has held the annual maintenance contract for external facade cleaning at Hayat Boulevard Apartments in Town Square, Dubai, for Nshama Properties since 2019. Our teams also work across the facade of Zahra Breeze Apartments in the same community.

Outside Dubai, we have cleaned the facade and glazing of Rove Al Marjan Hotel in Ras Al Khaimah, working the hotel's multi-storey elevations directly from the rope.
