When cleaning old stonework, you don't get any second chances. Don't be tempted to blast stonework yourself with a generic pressure washer as you may do irreversible damage to your building. General cleaners also do not have the specialisation to deal with delicate historic stonework, masonry and even brickwork and may use overzealous cleaning practises or harsh chemicals to attempt to clean delicate facades.
You shouldn't be scared to clean your stonework at all though, in fact leaving wet acidic moss and grime to eat away at the substrate can do its own type of damage to your building. We specialise in sympathetic cleaning solutions - gently cleaning and preserving historic stonework for decades more enjoyment.
We work closely with facility managers across London to clean and restore the ornate stonework that makes our capital city such a beautiful and historic place. We can remove dirt, grime, air pollution, staining, moss, algae, graffiti and old paint and leave your stone, brick or masonry looking fresh and untouched.
Whilst it's not something you've probably given a lot of thought to; cleaning stonework is a surprisingly in-depth process.
Our specialist technologies, fine-tuning and methods honed by decades of experience allows us to clean and restore nearly any type of stonework, masonry or brickwork. We can restore marble, limestone, granite, brick, concrete and more.
Technologies like DOFF and Torc allow experienced technicians to vary the exact temperature, pressure and abrasion of our cleaning processes to match the type of material we are cleaning.
This fine-tuning of settings allows our cleaning to be exactly as gentle or powerful as required to remove as much dirt, carbon sulphate, paint, limescale or organic material as we can without damaging or wearing down the original building below.
You may think high cleaning temperatures may cause damage but in many circumstances the opposite is true. A superheated cleaning process ensures that water evaporates quickly from stone instead of being absorbed into it. The danger of absorbed water is that during cold weather it freezes, expands and causes cracking.
