About Our Brickwork & Stone Cleaning Service

Prior to any building cleaning project, our team will conduct an on site façade survey and assessment to determine the nature of the masonry, the type of soiling and the relationship between the two. Where brickwork, terracotta and stone are concerned, the effect of weathering on the units and their joints is a fundamental part of the assessment process.

Each material will have very different properties and sensitivities when it comes to cleaning. Variations in surface texture, hardness and porosity, together with the cause of soiling will require different cleaning approaches to be used. A sample test should be carried out as part of the initial assessment to identify the specific cleaning regime which will be most effective and to estimate duration of project.

For example:

Most brick types are susceptible to impact damage and hence are readily damaged by abrasive cleaning (also inappropriate for historic brickwork, removal of paint and graffiti)
cleaning chemicals must be used at low strength, applied neatly, left for short dwell times and thoroughly rinsed off at non-damaging pressures.
atmospheric soiling is not water soluble and may respond better to steam cleaning
pointing mortars, which are based on soft mixes of lime and sand, are usually even softer than the bricks themselves and require a gentler approach

What causes discolouration in the appearance of a building’s façade?

A variety of factors but most commonly:

General neglect
Harsh weather
The growth of algae, moss weed, fungi on surfaces
Environmental pollutants

A robust maintenance schedule which includes periodic façade cleaning will help preserve your building’s appearance and minimise damage to the architecture of the building.

Cleaning your building façade, forecourts and car park can make a significant difference to the appearance of the outside space of your property and give a great impression of your business.

We specialise in restoring stone and brickwork and offer a variety of solutions to clean, restore and repair brickwork facades as a one-off project or on a periodic basis. We have the right tools to tackle dirt and grime which can build up on block paving in busy car parks also.

Our Process

Steam cleaning at low pressure. More about facade steam cleaning.
Flat surface pressure wash – we use a variety of cleaning attachments to avoid overspray and focus water exactly where it is needed, covering large areas of concrete, or paving very quickly. Our pressure washers allow for various intensities of water pressure, adopting a gentle approach where required, so as to avoid damaging the surface.
Blast cleaning which we carry out on both internal/external brickwork to effectively remove limestone and industrial paint preparing surfaces for refurbishment. More about blast cleaning.
Chemical cleaning is generally suitable for the removal of builders residue from new brickwork (e.g cement, paints) and can easily accommodate variations in brickwork condition, texture and hardness. This may include the use of an alkaline-based degreasant followed by a solution containing hydrofluoric acid to break down the silicates. We start our process of cleaning the brickwork by applying a specially formulated chemical to the brickwork, which, when combined with warm water rinsing will reveal the beautiful original colours of your brickwork.
