Hotel Façade Maintenance Solutions

While you may offer a 5-star service on the inside, if your exterior is dirty and grimy with damaged or degraded stone, plaster or paintwork, are you confident that you will be able to get past your customers’ initial thoughts of: ‘I hope it’s cleaner on the inside…’?
The multi-award-winning façade cleaning, restoration, and redecoration solutions from Thomann-Hanry® offers your hotel a 5-star service which helps to present the quality which your customers expect, before they even enter the building.
Through Thomann-Hanry®’s use of MEWPs (Mobile Elevating Work Platforms) we can offer a scaffold-free alternative to all your façade cleaning, restoration, and repair requirements. This helps you to reduce costs, decrease the time required, and prevent your building being enveloped by unsightly scaffolding for months on end.
This page highlights many of the services which Thomann-Hanry® offers and some of the key hospitality partners we have helped to restore the welcoming first impression their building projects to guests.
Façade Surveys
Taking a preventative approach to structural defects and repairs can allow a hotel’s engineering and building managers to reduce capital expenditure on more serious and potentially dangerous problems which could develop. These problems could then impact the guests in the hotel and cause serious disruption to your business.
To ensure a quick completion on our façade surveys, Thomann-Hanry® use MEWPs and drone technology, where possible, to help reduce on-site duration, disruption to your business, and costs associated with erecting scaffolding. This also allows for loose and dangerous structural items to be made safe or removed during the survey.
The Thomann-Hanry® team of façade specialists are qualified to CEng, MICE, and MIStructE standards, and offer an authoritative, knowledgeable appraisal with detailed recommendations for the best course of action.
Once the survey has been completed, you will be sent a detailed report, which includes photographs of any defects or areas of concern. Your report highlights all key areas of risk, through a colour coded system.

Façade Cleaning
Thomann-Hanry® has gained a reputation for being the UK’s premiere façade cleaning company, offering a scaffold-free, dry, and non-abrasive alternative to traditional cleaning methods such as high-pressure steam and the use of harsh cleaning solutions. Through a patented, gentle cleaning process (façade gommage), dirt and grime are effectively and efficiently removed to reveal the natural stone or surface of the building. This process is suitable for most surface substrates on modern and historic hotels.
Projected under low pressure from a cabin mounted on a hydraulic boom, ultrafine dry particles of aluminium silicate (a chemically inert by-product of aluminium smelting) flows across all surfaces, gently rubbing away decades of dirt and grime before being drawn off, filtered and collected through a water curtain for recycling.
The security and safety aspects of façade gommage set it apart from traditional techniques. At the end of a day’s cleaning, the cabin is simply retracted on its hydraulic boom, leaving the property completely uncompromised.
Our platforms and truck mounts are fast and discreet, so cleaning takes years off your building without taking ages to prepare. Thomann-Hanry® can work outside of standard business hours, ensuring minimal disruption to you and your customers.

Façade Painting & Decorating
Thomann-Hanry® is your commercial painting and decorating partner, having established a proven track record of best practice and industry-leading techniques in the preservation, repair, and upkeep of painted surfaces (such as windows, timberwork, render, and railings), on hotels.
Working from MEWPs offers unparalleled cost and time savings, while also avoiding the need to shroud a building in unappealing scaffolding for months on end.
For those buildings with painted render or cladding, our quick and effective professional team will paint the façade of your building. We can remove any existing paint, repair and renew the underlying render or cladding, then prime and paint, to give your property a fresh new look.
With years of experience, Thomann-Hanry® can ensure your painting projects are managed from start to finish with quality in mind. All Thomann-Hanry® commercial painters and decorators are trained for the repair, maintenance, and conservation of joinery by the Repair Care International Dulux Academy.

Façade Maintenance, Restoration & Repair
Contrary to popular misconception, virtually all types of maintenance and restoration works can be undertaken from MEWPs – a huge advantage for occupied hotels with regards to speed, security and efficiency. Using platforms instead of scaffolding, we have carried out stone repairs, repointing, roofing, painting, mastic replacement, and bird proofing on many high-profile hotels across London and farther afield.
There is no element of work on a building’s façade which Thomann-Hanry®’s restoration and repair team cannot carry out. For a full list of repair, restoration and maintenance services please click here.
