Our process begins with a thorough inspection of the building to assess its condition and determine the most appropriate cleaning methods. We then use gentle, non-abrasive techniques to remove dirt, moss, algae, and pollutants, ensuring that the building’s original materials are preserved. Each cleaning project is carefully monitored to maintain the structural integrity of the building while enhancing its appearance.

• Step 1:  Initial Inspection: A detailed assessment of the building’s structure and materials to identify the best cleaning approach.
• Step 2: Tailored Cleaning Plan: We develop a customised cleaning plan that ensures the protection of delicate surfaces.
• Step 3: Gentle Cleaning Techniques: Using eco-friendly, non-abrasive methods, we carefully clean the building, removing grime and pollutants.
• Step 4: Final Inspection: After cleaning, we conduct a thorough inspection to ensure the building has been cleaned to the highest standard without any damage.

Over time, historic buildings accumulate dirt, moss, algae, and pollutants, which can degrade the structure and appearance of the property. Regular cleaning helps to preserve the materials and architectural features, preventing long-term damage and costly repairs. Additionally, maintaining a clean exterior enhances the building’s aesthetic appeal, ensuring it remains a valuable and cherished part of the community.
