At DSW Cleaning, we recently completed a large-scale industrial roof cleaning project in Marlow, showcasing our expertise in tackling challenging sites across Buckinghamshire and the Thames Valley. Marlow, with its thriving industrial estates and commercial hubs, is home to a wide range of businesses that rely on their premises being maintained to a high standard. Roof cleaning is a vital part of this upkeep, particularly for landlords and tenants managing responsibilities under lease agreements.

Why Roof Cleaning Matters in Marlow’s Industrial Estates

Industrial estates such as Globe Business Park, Fieldhouse Lane, and Parkway in Marlow are central to the town’s economy. These areas host logistics companies, technology firms, and manufacturing businesses, all operating from large units with expansive roofing. Over time, roofs can accumulate moss, algae, debris, and pollutants. Left untreated, this build-up not only looks unsightly but can cause drainage issues, leaks, and structural deterioration.

Roof cleaning is also a common requirement in dilapidation orders, which detail tenant obligations at the end of a commercial lease. A dirty or poorly maintained roof can result in costly disputes or unexpected repair bills. Proactively investing in professional roof cleaning ensures compliance, protects the property’s value, and avoids unnecessary costs.

The Logistics of Large-Scale Industrial Roof Cleaning

Cleaning a roof on an industrial unit is no small task. In Marlow, where many sites are located in busy estates with high vehicle and pedestrian activity, careful planning is essential. For this project, DSW Cleaning carried out a full site survey and produced risk assessments and method statements to ensure the works were delivered safely and efficiently.

Key logistics included:

• Safe access planning – Using MEWPs (mobile elevated work platforms) operated by our IPAF-certified team to reach and clean large roof areas.
• Traffic and pedestrian management – Coordinating with the site’s operations to minimize disruption and keep the estate running smoothly.
• Weather considerations – Scheduling around conditions to ensure effective cleaning and maintain operator safety.
• Wastewater management – Collecting and disposing of debris and wash water responsibly, in line with environmental standards.

By combining preparation with expertise, we delivered a seamless service without compromising safety or productivity.
