Whether it is a tired driveway, render that has gone green, cladding, a shop frontage or graffiti on a wall, the same questions come up: what is the surface made of, what has been tried before, and what result is realistic. These guides help you prepare a clearer enquiry and discuss sensible expectations. They cannot identify a material or prescribe a treatment from a distance, so if you are unsure about a finish, avoid experimenting with stronger products before it has been assessed.
Turn the advice into a useful enquiry

Tell the cleaning contractor about any previous treatments and who can authorise the work. For a commercial property, add opening hours and access requirements.
