We Clean Buildings with a Drone

For decades, exterior building cleaning has relied on scaffolding, elevated work platforms, ropes, and large crews working at height. While these methods are still necessary in some situations, advances in drone technology are changing the way commercial buildings can be cleaned.

At Edwards & Hardy, we are proud to offer professional drone cleaning services that provide a safer, faster, and more efficient solution for many commercial and high-rise buildings throughout New Zealand.

What Is Drone Building Cleaning?

Drone cleaning uses specialised tethered drones equipped with precision spray systems to apply cleaning solutions and rinse building exteriors from the air.

Instead of requiring workers to access difficult areas using scaffolding or elevated platforms, the drone can safely reach high facades, glass surfaces, cladding, and other exterior building elements from the ground-controlled system.

The result is an innovative cleaning solution that reduces risk while delivering outstanding results.

Why Use a Drone for Building Cleaning?

Improved Safety

Working at height has always been one of the biggest challenges in exterior building maintenance.

Drone technology allows much of the work to be completed without placing operators directly on roofs, scaffolding, or elevated work platforms. By reducing the need for people to work at height, drone cleaning can significantly improve site safety.

Faster Project Completion

Traditional access methods often require extensive setup time before cleaning can even begin.

Drone cleaning systems can often be deployed much more quickly, allowing buildings to be cleaned efficiently and with less disruption to tenants, staff, and daily operations.

Reduced Access Requirements

Many modern commercial buildings feature complex architecture, large glass facades, and difficult-to-reach exterior surfaces.

Drone cleaning can access many of these areas without the need for extensive temporary access equipment, helping streamline maintenance projects.

Ideal for Commercial Properties

Drone cleaning is particularly suited to:

• Commercial office buildings
• Apartment complexes
• Educational facilities
• Industrial buildings
• Retail centres
• High-rise structures
• Large-scale exterior facade cleaning
