Facade Cleaning Cost in Dubai: What Drives the Price
Facade cleaning in Dubai is priced mainly per square metre of façade, adjusted for surface type, access method, how dirty the building is and how often it is cleaned.
The five price drivers
- Façade area: the main driver — measured as perimeter × height, or from as-built drawings.
- Surface: glass is quickest; mixed glass and cladding takes longer; stone and textured surfaces take longest.
- Access: rope access, BMU or boom lift each change labour time and equipment cost.
- Condition: overdue or post-construction cleans need more time and specialist removal.
- Frequency: annual contracts cost less per visit than one-off cleans.
How to compare quotes like for like
- Check the quote covers frames, mullions and louvres, not only glass.
- Check what is included at ground level: barricading, marshalling, permits.
- Ask for a method statement, risk assessment and insurance certificate.
- Ask how weather stoppages are handled and whether they cost extra.
