Title: Drone spraying
Post by: Scottish Cleaning Service on June 17, 2025, 03:31:21 pm
Is anyone on here using drones for office block cleaning? My brother showed me a video he took when he was sitting in the shopping centre. A drone was spraying the glass outside with pure, I guess. Can't see how this would give a good result because no scrubbing. Interesting though.

I dunno, I think the possibility of success is up in the air at the moment.

It's not like you to drone on.

I wonder if you need a licence to fly them?

Yes, you would need a licence.

Drones are susceptible to adverse weather conditions like strong wind and temperature extremes and will struggle with cleaning very dirty windows. Saying that, I've been looking into investing in drone equipment for cladding cleaning for warehouses. The equipment and training is very pricy but want to get ahead of the curve. Anyone used drones for cladding cleaning?

Not seem a drone yet but bumped into a guy who softwashes metal cladding on commercial units. He was using a unit he bought from Ben at Rutland Pumps and was spraying hypo and water mix on the cladding in February (2022). Then he was going back and power washing the bit he sprayed. This was his last unit because he was retiring but he did the whole of Scotland and his son didn't want to take over.

Spraying hypo with a drone could be pretty dangerous if it all goes wrong.
