Clean greenhouse roofs fast — ready for full winter light.
Greenhouse Whitewash Removal
Drone-applied water washing to remove whitewash from greenhouse roofs at the end of the season — restoring full light transmission without manual scrubbing at height.
About This Service
As the season shifts and natural light levels drop, getting whitewash off your greenhouse roof quickly is critical to maintaining crop quality. Manual removal is time-consuming, hard on workers, and often leaves residue that cuts into your winter light.
Our drone removal service uses targeted water application to break down and rinse whitewash from your roof surface efficiently — covering large greenhouse areas in a single visit without anyone working at height.

The Advantages
Why Operators Choose Drones
No Working at Height
Eliminate the risk of workers on ladders or scaffolding. Our drones do the work from above — safer for your team and faster to execute.
Thorough, Even Cleaning
GPS-guided passes ensure the entire roof surface is treated — no sections missed, no residue left behind to reduce light transmission.
Maximise Winter Light
Every percentage point of light transmission matters in winter. Getting your roof fully clean quickly means your crops are back to full light as early as possible.
Large Areas, Single Visit
We can cover extensive greenhouse footprints in one visit — ideal for large commercial operations where manual removal would take a full crew several days.
The Process
How It Works
Request a Quote
Tell us your total greenhouse roof area and the type of whitewash that was applied. We'll get back to you within 24 hours with a price.
Site Assessment
We review the structure, access points, and drainage to ensure the removal process runs smoothly and water runoff is managed correctly.
Setup
We connect to an on-site water supply, fill our tanks, and position the drone for systematic roof coverage.
Removal
The drone applies targeted water pressure across the roof in GPS-guided passes, breaking down and rinsing the whitewash from the surface.
Inspection
We do a final inspection pass to confirm full coverage and address any stubborn areas. You're left with a clean roof ready for full winter light.
FAQ
Common Questions
Do you supply the water?
We'll need access to an on-site water supply — a standard hose bib or agricultural tap is fine. We bring our own tanks and equipment.
Will the water runoff damage anything?
We review drainage as part of our site assessment. Standard whitewash compounds are water-based and safe to wash off — but we confirm this with you before starting.
What if some whitewash is stubborn and hard to remove?
We can adjust our application rate and make additional passes on problem areas. If a section doesn't respond to water removal alone, we'll flag it and discuss options with you.
