Keeping the outside of a facility clean has always been a pain. Between the cost of hiring elevated work platforms (EWPs), the risk to staff, and the time it takes to set everything up, it’s easy to see why external cleaning often gets pushed down the priority list.

But ignoring it isn’t a long-term option — especially if you’re dealing with food safety, compliance, or brand image.

That’s why we’ve invested in drone-powered facade cleaning. It’s not a gimmick or a future idea — it’s here now, and it’s designed specifically to solve the real problems sites are facing across food manufacturing, cold storage, logistics, and large-scale warehousing.

So, What’s the Problem With Traditional Cleaning?

• It’s high-risk. Getting people up in the air using boom lifts or scaffolding opens up a whole range of WHS concerns.

• It’s expensive. You’re not just paying for cleaning — you’re paying for equipment hire, permits, spotters, and usually more labour.

• It’s slow and disruptive. Moving gear around, setting up access, and trying not to interfere with daily operations makes planning a nightmare.

At the end of the day, it’s a tough, risky job that’s too often delayed or done poorly.

Drone Cleaning Changes the Game

With a drone, we can clean roofs, wall cladding, vents, and hard-to-reach areas — all from the ground, without needing EWP hire or extra hands. That means:

✅ Less downtime for your team

✅ Fewer people required on site

✅ No one working at height

✅ Fast, repeatable results across all your facilities

It’s safer, leaner, and just makes sense operationally.

What Can We Clean?

• Building Facades & Windows

• Wall panels on multi-level or high-bay warehouses

• Cold store or freezer plant exteriors

• Ducting, vents and signage

• Dust and salt build-up on logistics sheds near coastal or rural areas

This is particularly valuable in food facilities where internal hygiene is managed tightly — but the outside has been harder to maintain without major disruption.

Want to See the Tech Behind It?

We’ve built this service around the ATS-1 Spray Drone — a unit purpose-built for industrial sites. It’s got unlimited flight time (tethered), a 2500 PSI spray rate, built-in radar and safety features, and can clean up to 120 metres high. It’s not a toy — it’s a serious tool.

If you’re managing external cleaning across one or multiple sites and want a safer, smarter alternative to EWPs, we’re now offering pre-launch trials and on-site demos. Just reach out and we’ll organise a time.
