We are highly experienced in stone cleaning and only utilise methods that provide the most effective solution to remove dirt, grime, algae, moss and air pollution. Our stone cleaning processes involve a mix of either low air pressure, a little water and a safe inert fine aggregate such as calcium carbonate. We also use a material called Clean Film; this is a latex cleaning paste that is applied on to stone, which is then peeled off after 24-48 hours, removing dirt and grime in the process. We will, however, tailor all of our methods depending on your specific requirements.
Doff steam cleaning, a super heated steam cleaning system that reaches temperatures of up to 150˚C and removes all substrate without leaving any damage to the surface that is being cleaned.
