Exterior Cleaning for Public Spaces and Council Property in Gloucester

Supporting Clean, Safe, and Presentable Environments Across the Community

Public spaces are at the heart of every community — but with constant foot traffic, changing weather conditions, and exposure to pollution, these areas are prone to fast deterioration if not maintained. From paved walkways and town centre facades to council buildings, public toilets, and bin storage areas, regular exterior cleaning plays a vital role in maintaining both cleanliness and civic pride.

At Streak Free, we provide professional exterior cleaning services for councils, parish authorities, and public sector facilities across Gloucester and the surrounding areas. We understand the practical demands and safety standards required when working in publicly accessible environments.

The Importance of Public Area Cleaning

Dirty, stained, or overgrown public spaces send the wrong message — not just aesthetically, but from a health and safety standpoint too. Grime, algae, and chewing gum don’t just look bad — they also contribute to slip hazards, unpleasant odours, and premature surface deterioration.

Regular exterior cleaning helps to:
• Improve the appearance and safety of shared spaces
• Prevent damage to surfaces from moss, algae, and pollutants
• Remove stains, chewing gum, and litter residue
• Deter antisocial behaviour by maintaining a clean environment
• Enhance public trust in the quality of local facilities

We assist local authorities and property managers with scheduled cleaning, one-off clearances, or seasonal treatments for high-traffic areas.

Areas We Clean

We are equipped to clean a wide range of public and council-managed spaces:

Public Walkways and Pavements

We provide pressure washing and surface treatment for town centre paving, pedestrian zones, public paths, and transport hubs. Algae, oil, and food waste can make these areas both unattractive and hazardous. Our surface-safe methods clean deeply while remaining compliant with public safety guidelines.

Council Offices and Buildings

Whether it’s municipal offices, libraries, or sports facilities, we clean building exteriors including render, cladding, brickwork, and entrances. A clean facade reflects professionalism and reassures visitors and staff alike.

Public Toilets and Washroom Blocks

We remove algae staining, mineral build-up, cobwebs, and grime from the exteriors of public toilet blocks — helping keep them presentable and hygienic. We also clean paved surrounds and external signage.

Bin Store Areas and Rear Access Routes

These areas are often neglected but can become breeding grounds for bacteria, rodents, and foul smells. We provide targeted cleaning around waste areas to remove spillages, disinfect surfaces, and remove organic build-up.

Parks, Memorials, and Public Seating Areas

We clean benches, monuments, stonework, and low walls using sensitive cleaning methods suited to the materials. Services include pressure washing paths, bird mess removal, and biocide treatments where necessary.

Bus Stops and Shelters

Over time, these areas collect general grime, moss, and litter residue. We offer cleaning for glass panels, seating, floor areas, and signage.

Our Approach

We prioritise safety, discretion, and long-term value. Our services are suitable for public contracts, one-off remedial work, or routine maintenance agreements.

What we offer:
• Fully insured and qualified staff
• Risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) provided on request
• Safe use of ladder systems, standoff arms, and long-reach equipment
• Flexible scheduling to minimise disruption to public activity
• Eco-conscious cleaning solutions where appropriate
