SERVICES / COMMERCIAL LOW-RISE
Drone cleaning for low-rise commercial properties
Altitude Robotics cleans exterior glass, façades and cladding for low-rise properties with less access setup and a digital record of the completed work.

The incumbent
Scaffold, boom lifts and manual squeegee work can cost more than the façade warrants.
For owners and FMs, low-rise cleaning still brings access equipment, blocked frontage and tenant coordination. The goal is to remove the access overhead where the site suits drone cleaning.
The Altitude approach
Clean the elevation without building a large access setup around it.
Less mobilisation
No scaffold or elevated platform is required for suitable drone-cleaned areas.
Keep the property moving
Cleaning is phased around entrances, customers, tenants and deliveries.
Document the result
Each job can hand back before / after imagery, coverage and condition notes.
Side-by-side
| Metric | Scaffold / lift / manual access | Altitude Robotics |
|---|---|---|
| Access method | Scaffold / boom lift / rope access / manual squeegee | Ground-operated cleaning drone |
| Cost per m² | Access equipment + labour priced into the job | Site-priced after survey; reduced access setup on suitable areas |
| Mobilisation | Scaffold/lift positioning or rope setup | Ground system + controlled work zone |
| Building downtime | Access equipment can block frontage and walkways | Active zone managed around tenants, customers and entrances |
| People at height | Personnel work from elevated access | 0 for areas cleaned by drone |
We only publish operating numbers we can validate. Cost per m², site duration and weather limits are confirmed in the quotation after survey.
Typical properties
SCOPE
What is included
- Surfaces: exterior glazing, compatible façades, awnings, podium walls and cladding.
- Soiling: dust, traffic film, bird residue and light organic buildup.
- Included: site plan, cleaning zones, surface-appropriate rinse and visual QA.
OPERATING LIMITS
What we will not force
- Narrow setbacks, trees, wires, signage and public-road interfaces can make a façade unsuitable for drone access.
- Public areas need a controlled exclusion zone; we do not operate through uncontrolled pedestrian traffic.
- Unsafe weather or surfaces incompatible with water / spray pressure are excluded.
- Standoff, pressure and usable reach are confirmed after site survey rather than assumed from building height.
From survey to handover
Confirm method, surface compatibility and cleaning zones.
Prepare flight / site permissions and tenant or public-area controls.
Clean section by section with ground supervision.
QA review and digital handover.
DELIVERABLE
A clean plus a usable site record.
- Before / after imagery
- Coverage map by frontage / elevation
- Condition observations for the property team
Common questions
Will the property need to close?
Usually not. We control the active work zone and coordinate it around entrances and operating hours.
Can you clean coated glass?
We check the coating and manufacturer guidance before choosing the method.
Is every low-rise site suitable?
No. Trees, wires, narrow setbacks, public traffic and surface condition can make conventional access the better method.
