Brick & Stone Cleaning Services
Gentle Restoration for Brickwork, Stone Walls & Masonry
We specialise in the careful, low-pressure cleaning of brick, stone, and lime-based masonry, using a dry system that removes dirt, paint, and surface staining without damaging historic or delicate materials. Whether you’re restoring a period cottage, exposing original stonework, or preparing a building for repointing, our method offers clean, precise results with minimal disruption.
Our Brick & Stone Cleaning Process
Our approach is designed to protect and enhance traditional building materials while keeping your property clean and secure throughout the job.
1. Initial Consultation
We begin by assessing the surface type, condition, and previous coatings. If necessary, we’ll arrange a site visit — or provide a quote based on photographs and a description of the project.
2. Preparation
We take steps to protect nearby features such as timber, windows, or lime pointing. The work area is clearly defined and contained to minimise dust and disruption.
3. Gentle, Dry Cleaning
Using our specialist low-pressure system, we remove layers of paint, grime, moss, or smoke staining from brick, natural stone, and masonry surfaces. Our dry-cleaning method avoids the damage and saturation that water-based systems and sandblasting can cause — making it ideal for listed buildings and sensitive facades.
4. Attention to Detail
We adjust our approach depending on the surface, taking care around mortar joints, carved details, and colour variations. Where brickwork has been previously painted, we carefully strip the surface without harming the structure beneath.
5. Full Clean-Up
After cleaning is complete, we carry out a thorough tidy-up of the site, removing dust and protective coverings to leave your building looking refreshed and ready for its next stage of work or decoration.
6. Aftercare & Optional Treatments
We’ll advise on how best to preserve the surface finish, and can recommend breathable sealers or protective coatings where appropriate. These are always optional and tailored to your building’s needs.
