Drone Window Cleaning: What Facility Managers Need to Know
Curtain walls, skylights and atriums — how drone window cleaning fits into a building maintenance programme.
Where it fits
Drones suit low- and mid-rise glass façades, curtain walls, skylights and atrium roofs that are hard or expensive to reach with a building maintenance unit or lift. Very tall towers with permanent BMUs may still use rope access or gondolas for some elevations.
Results to expect
Pure-water rinsing removes dust and light atmospheric grime well. Heavily stained glass, hard-water spots or silicone runs may need a traditional crew. Ask for before-and-after photos from comparable buildings.
Occupants and operations
Plan flights outside peak hours, notify tenants, keep entrances clear and agree an exclusion zone. A good provider will supply a method statement, risk assessment and flight plan in advance.
Recurring contracts
Many facilities schedule glass cleaning quarterly or twice a year. Recurring drone contracts can lower the per-visit price and simplify scheduling — use our quote form to request recurring pricing.
