Brick and Stonework Cleaning
Support Clean brick and stonework require regular maintenance not only to preserve their appearance but also to protect them from damage.
Why choose us for Brick and Stonework Cleaning?
All external building materials are exposed to a range of weather conditions and environmental pollutants. Over time, these conditions can impact the appearance of a property and even damage a buildings’ pointing. Both brick and stonework are particularly susceptible to moss, mould, lichen and algae growth. Once established, these living organisms can prove very difficult to remove.
Stonework that has been subjected to a lot of wear and tear may require restoration. Similarly, brick work that has been neglected will require far more intense techniques to restore it. If this is the case, cleaning the brickwork will be far more expensive than just a simple power wash, since brick professional cleaning requires specialist equipment, training and experience.
At Support Clean we specialise in both residential and commercial brick cleaning; our operatives are professionally trained and highly experienced in delivering the highest quality brick cleaning. At Support Clean we regularly carry our intensive brick cleaning on new build construction sites. We effectively remove scaffold band lines and mortar snots and give the correct course of treatment to ensure an outstanding finish.
Before & After
Brick and stonework are cleaned using very different methods, since stone comes in many types and will therefore need to be treated in different ways. Our professional and experienced team understand this need for a tailored approach according the type of surface being treated. Brickwork is remarkably resilient to intense cleaning methods, whilst stone work requires a gentler approach to preserve its integrity and protect it from damage.
At Support Clean we use a combination of pressure washing, superheated treatment and soft washing methods. These methods are extremely effective yet gentle on surfaces so as not to cause damage to the surface.
All of our cleaning processes are carried out under strict Health and Safety regulations. Our professional and experienced operatives employ our commercial pressure washing system to dislodge any standard build-up of dirt and any mould that may have accumulated in the porous holes of the material. Although algae, lichens and fungi can be difficult to remove, we employ a non-aggressive yet effective approach to their removal on stonework. However, if brickwork has mortar residue, paint or stains, we employ specialist licensed brick acid to restore the brickwork it to its original condition.
Moss is removed via our low pressure superheated treatment which also kills all algae, lichens and fungi growing on your brick and stonework. Once this process is complete we clean up the full area and apply a licensed professionally graded biocide to kill off any remaining spores which will keep your brick and stonework clean for longer.
