Stone cleaning
Stone/Brick cleaning
We take a tailored approach to every project, customising our cleaning methods to suit the unique requirements of the building or surface being restored. Our priority is to use the most effective and sympathetic techniques to preserve and enhance the integrity of the materials.
For internal stone and brickwork, we often recommend Micro-Strip Blasting, a gentle yet precise cleaning method ideal for delicate surfaces. This approach allows us to remove dirt, paint, and other unwanted coatings while maintaining the original texture and features of the material.
For external surfaces, we typically suggest using the DOFF system, a highly efficient steam-cleaning method. The DOFF system utilises superheated water to clean stone, brick, and other surfaces without the use of harsh chemicals, making it an eco-friendly and non-invasive solution for exterior restoration.
To ensure the best results, we are happy to carry out a test sample on the surface before starting work. This allows us to evaluate the condition of the material, determine the most suitable method, and provide you with a detailed and accurate estimate.
By combining our expertise with these state-of-the-art techniques, we deliver high-quality restoration that respects the character and history of the building.
For more information about our cleaning methods and how they might suit your project, please see the details below.
DOFF cleans stonework and masonry using high-temperature steam.
How the DOFF Integra Works
Absolutely 0% surface damage, DOFF uses superheated steam to gently clean surfaces. The temperature in the system is high but provides low pressure on the surface being cleaned making it a very gentle method of removal. The volume of water is low preventing the surface from becoming saturated and will be dry within minutes . As this is purely steam it means that there are no harmful chemicals being used and any excess water will simply run into the ground to be absorbed back into the earth.
The superheated water vapor will remove paint, moss, algae, fungi and other biological matter and will also kill off spores. This means there’s then no need to use a chemical biocide during the removal process or as a protection against further biological activity.
The DOFF can also be a useful sterilisation tool for kitchens, toilets, swimming pools, hospitals and factories.
Micro Strip blasting - Stone & Brick
We can restore stone and brick back to its natural state by gently blasting any grime, paint and other contaminants leaving a clean finish, with no surface damage from our specialised equipment.
Our tried and tested techniques can make any stonework look almost brand new and does not damage the stone or brick face.
