We only use the most modern techniques for our sympathetic cleaning procedures, which are acknowledged to be both effective and environmentally friendly. We offer a professional consultation and site survey service and can provide method statements, risk assessments and relevant COSHH information data sheets in accordance with the Health & Safety code of practice. Nebulous Cleaning System This system is chemical free, making it environmentally friendly. It is recognised by conservation authorities and leading architects, especially for projects in conservation areas. Water is atomised through a series of nozzles, creating a continuous wall of water vapour against the facade of a building over a period of a few hours. (This time depends on the build up of dirt and carbon on the surface.)The effect of the atomised spray is to draw the dirt and carbon deposits to the surface. After which the building is washed down at low pressure with cold water, leaving the surface clean and bright. Soft Clean System This system was designed for very delicate surfaces where pressure and water could cause damage to old defective stonework. It is currently being used on some of the most prestigious buildings in London. Chemical Cleaning This system can be used on very heavily soiled brick and stonework to remove dirt, carbon, mortar staining, algae and lichen. A mild detergent is applied to the surface by the use of a low compression spray to soften the soiled area, then steamed off at low pressure to remove the coating and restore the surface to its original condition The use of steam is not essential for the cleaning process, however it does allow the surface to dry quickly so it doesn't remain damp for long periods, especially in cold temperatures. Wash Vac Systems This system is designed for paint removal where water or chemicals need to be removed from the site without contamination. Paint and Graffiti Removal Specialist paint and coatings can be removed from a variety of surfaces including brick, sandstone, limestone, granite and marble.

We also have a Blast Division We can remove solvent, oil and water based paints, lime wash, whitewash, distemper, polyurethane and graffiti. Our methods of removal include:150 degrees steam cleaning Chemical application and hot or cold water pressure Powder blasting Wet and dry abrasive blasting These methods are generally used externally. Our methods for internal removal include: Wash Vac system (steam suction head and extraction) Wet blasting Poultice and cling strip systems all internal systems are designed for situations where dust and water could cause damage to internal fixtures, fittings or floors. Silicate Glass Powder is forced through a nozzle at low pressure (approx. 2-3 bar), where it is combined with water vapour to dampen the medium before it comes in contact with the stone/brick. This cushions the medium to soften the impact and gently remove dirt and carbon deposits without damage to the surface of the stone/brick. This system has been used for polishing glazed bricks without etching or pitting the surface. Chemicals are applied to the paintwork by a method of airless spray and left for several hours to soften the paint. A jet nozzle within a suction head is applied to the surface and the paint is steamed off at 150 degrees; all water and chemicals are extracted through the suction head and collected in a bower, the contents can then be disposed of in the correct manner.
