Case Study
Project
Project
Unfortunately, the building had not been cleaned for a few
years and was covered in a green hue
The glass had become weathered
Client: TUI
Project Manager: Purple
Rhino
Client Requirement: The
building needed to look as good as new again as the landlords were complaining
The coloured window frames had faded due to sunlight over
exposure
Glass had oxidised and needed restoring
Cladding was extremely dirty and was covered in moss &
lichens
Project Solution: Purple
Rhino surveyed the building and it was decided that the whole building needed
sanitising as there was a great deal of moss and lichens growing on the
surfaces
By applying a biocide and then steam cleaning the whole of
the facade was the best way to restore the cladding as steam cleaning is a
gentle and safe way to clean this type of surface
The glass needed renovating and a suitable glass renovator
was used and applied by hand
The red window frames had become dull and were restored back
to their original colour
Ongoing solutions
Purple Rhino now maintains this building by cleaning the
whole exterior surface with purified de ionised water every three months and
applying a fungicidal wash where needed.
Testimonials
“Purple Rhino first sent us through an informative booklet
about Industrial building cleaning in March 2013, I invited them down to survey
our six-storey building in Crawley, West Sussex known as The Atrium, they
agreed to carry out a test sample FREE of charge and without obligation. The
test results were extremely positive and it was agreed that the whole building
façade and glass restoration service was needed to make the building look
presentable once again. The works took them just over three weeks, and they
gained access by using the building’s own cradle system and the use of Access
Platforms, with minimal disruption to our staff and neighbours, the building
now looks extremely good as it did when constructed. We will be using Purple
Rhino for an agreed scheduled cleaning service to keep the building looking
pristine at all times”
