During the winter season, snowfalls can lead to the accumulation of large amounts of snow and ice on roofs of many buildings and structures. In most cases, it depends on a roof structure (very low roof pitch, installed snow guards) or a type of snow. But eventually, such snow and ice accumulation could damage your rooftop, façade, rainwater systems, etc. Heavy weight of snow and ice causes an additional negative load on roof beams and joists. And with rising air temperature, melted snow forms ice blocks or icicles, which can fall and damage cars parked near your building or, even worse, injure pedestrians or visitors.
Having special equipment, Alp Star team of rope access professionals will provide the following services:
Removing snow and ice from the entire roof;
Removing snow from the roof at a distance of 1.5-2 meters from the bottom edge;
Removing ice and icicles from rainwater systems;
Removing icicles along the edge of a roof;
Cleaning surrounding territory with portable snow removal equipment;
Disposal of accumulated snow.
We have different options to suit your needs:
One-time snow and icicle removal from roofs (Kyiv);
Subscription-based on-demand maintenance of Client’s buildings;
Subscription-based property maintenance under surveillance of our employees.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can urgent snow removal from the roof be ordered?
Yes, in case of heavy snowfall, the urgent dispatch service is available. This allows for the rapid elimination of danger and reduces the risk of roof damage.
Does the roof get damaged during cleaning?
No, specialists use tools and equipment that do not harm the roofing material. All work is performed carefully, taking into account the type of roof.
Is it possible to sign a contract for regular roof cleaning?
Yes, a seasonal maintenance service is available, where the crew automatically comes out after snowfalls. This guarantees timely removal of danger.
Is snow removal provided after cleaning?
If needed, the company can organize the removal of collected snow from the premises. This is especially useful for large areas and limited courtyards in Kyiv.
How is the cost of snow and icicle removal from roofs determined?
The price depends on the roof area, the amount of snow, access complexity, and the urgency of the work. An individual estimate is calculated for each object.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why is it better to hire climbers instead of an aerial lift (boom lift) for high-altitude window cleaning?
Industrial climbers can access windows and glass structures in hard-to-reach locations where an aerial lift cannot approach or reach (e.g., internal courtyards, roofs). This significantly saves time and money while ensuring complete coverage of all surfaces.
What specific glass surfaces do you clean?
We work with various glass structures, including regular windows, glass витражі (stained glass/large glazed sections), winter gardens, mansard (attic) windows, and rooflights (zenith lanterns). We also clean sills and slopes (window reveals).
What complex contaminations do you handle?
Our team specializes in removing not only atmospheric contaminations (dust, soot) but also complex stains after construction or repair work. We also perform mechanical glass polishing to remove water scale (water spots/staining).
Do you accept orders for objects with difficult access?
Yes. Our advantage is working with windows and facades that have difficult access. We are prepared to clean surfaces that other cleaning companies might decline, thanks to our use of industrial climbing methods.

A clean facade is the face of the owner, which emphasizes his status and attitude to order.
Our team of professional industrial climbers offers comprehensive cleaning of the facades of business and shopping centers, shops, restaurants of high-rise residential buildings.
We have extensive experience in washing facades – we select the most effective detergents and equipment so that the facade retains its attractive appearance for as long as possible.
We wash and clean the following types of surfaces:
facades lined with glass or cor-ten metal;
ventilated facades made of composite and ceramic panels;
facades lined with HPL panels;
facades of buildings that are lined with natural brick or clinker tiles;
insulated facades with decorative finishing such as “lamb” or “bark beetle”.
Facades are washed manually (glass or composite), as well as using high-pressure machines such as karcher.
On buildings that have porous surfaces, we additionally waterproof the walls, which protects them from the appearance of efflorescence and the settling of soot from cars.
Our entire team of climbers undergoes annual recertification for labor safety when performing high-altitude work – this allows us to safely and quickly carry out facade cleaning work.
We have all the permits to perform work at height and provide services to private customers, the commercial and public sectors.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What facade cleaning methods do you use?
We apply a comprehensive approach that includes a manual method (especially for glass and composite surfaces) and cleaning using high-pressure washer machines (such as Karcher). The method is chosen individually, depending on the type of surface and the degree of contamination.
What types of facade surfaces do you work with?
Our team of industrial climbers has experience working with most types of facades, including glass, metal (e.g., cor-ten), ventilated facades (composite, ceramic, HPL panels), natural brick, clinker tiles, as well as insulated facades with decorative plaster like “corrosion” or “lamb” textures.
What is hydrophobization and when is it necessary?
Hydrophobization is an additional treatment of porous surfaces (e.g., brick or plaster) with a special protective compound. It creates a water-repellent barrier that protects the facade from moisture penetration, the appearance of efflorescence, and rapid accumulation of dust and soot. It is recommended for extending the facade’s cleanliness.
How often should a facade be cleaned?
The frequency of cleaning depends on the building’s location (e.g., nearby traffic intensity) and the facade material. For most commercial properties, professional cleaning 1-2 times a year is optimal to maintain a presentable appearance.
How can I order the service and calculate the cost?
