What is a facade inspection?

Your building’s exterior isn’t just about looks — it’s a critical safety layer that shields people and property. Over time, facades can develop hidden issues like cracked cladding, loose panels, or weakened structural elements. Without regular building facade inspections, these problems can escalate into serious hazards or costly repairs.

At Bax Clean, we provide expert facade inspection services to keep your building safe, compliant, and in excellent condition.

  • We deliver comprehensive high-rise facade inspections, using rope access techniques to thoroughly check surfaces, joints, seals, and attachments.
  • Our specialist facade inspections are designed to catch early signs of wear, corrosion, or movement before they become major risks.
  • After every building facade inspection, we provide a detailed, easy-to-understand report outlining our findings and recommended actions.

With years of experience in height access services, Bax Clean is the trusted choice for facade inspection services across Melbourne. Whether you manage a commercial building, residential tower, or heritage site, we tailor our inspections to meet the specific needs and safety requirements of your property. We don’t just inspect — we help you protect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a facade inspection involve?

A building facade inspection is a thorough assessment of your building’s exterior to identify any damage, defects, or deterioration that could affect long-term safety. Our expert rope access technicians provide detailed visual and photo reports to help building owners understand the condition of their facade and plan proper facade cleaning, maintenance or repair works.

Why should I use rope access facade inspections instead of scaffolding?

Rope access facade inspections are a cost-effective and efficient solution for high-rise buildings because they allow our team to inspect and assess difficult-to-reach areas without bulky systems or delays. This method delivers a comprehensive, timely analysis of your facade’s condition, helping managers make informed maintenance decisions.

Why should I use rope access facade inspections instead of scaffolding?

Experts recommend that high-rise building facades undergo a proactive audit or inspection at least once every few years, depending on the building’s age, materials, and location. Regular inspections help identify defects early and ensure preventative maintenance programs are in place to protect the building’s integrity and value.

What happens after the inspection is complete?

After completing the facade inspection, we provide a detailed inspection report outlining any issues, risks, or recommendations for repair, maintenance, or remedial works. This report helps clients and property managers understand the next steps needed to maintain a safe and functional facade system. See what a high-rise quote typically includes and how it informs maintenance planning.

Can you assist with repair works if damage or defects are found?

Yes — if our assessment identifies defects or deterioration, we can provide expert recommendations for remedial repairs and long-term exterior maintenance services. Our team works closely with building owners and managers to deliver efficient, cost-effective repair solutions that ensure your facade remains in excellent condition.
