Drone Building
Cleaning.

Façade and high-rise cleaning via tethered drone systems — safer than rope access, faster than gondola, and accessible to glass curtain walls and complex architectural geometries that conventional cleaning can't reach.

Overview

Glass towers cleaned from the air.

Conventional high-rise cleaning options — rope access, gondolas, articulated platforms — all bring personnel within reach of a fall and concentrate risk on a small number of operators. Tethered cleaning drones remove the worker from the building face entirely and accelerate throughput by 3-5×.

Our tethered platforms deliver continuous water + eco-detergent at calibrated pressure across the building envelope. Tether handles fluid delivery and power, giving the drone unlimited endurance and removing battery as a constraint.

We work across curtain walls, ETFE / cable-net systems, listed historic façades, and complex articulated geometries — anywhere a conventional cleaning crew either can't reach or can't reach safely.

FAQ

Common questions.

How high can the system clean?+

Up to around 200 m, using a tethered platform for stability and safety at height.

How does it compare to manual rope-access cleaning?+

About 500 m² per hour with pressure and eco-detergent, without rope-access crews working the façade.

Is it safe for staff?+

Personnel exposure is ground-only — no one is on the building itself during the clean.
