Chemical Cleaning Stonework

We offer professional chemical cleaning services for stonework, designed to safely and effectively remove staining, biological growth, cement residues, and environmental soiling. Our tailored approach ensures the correct cleaning agents and techniques are selected for each type of stone, preserving its strength, texture, and appearance.

Suitable for both heritage and contemporary buildings, our chemical cleaning options comply with conservation and architectural best practices. The result is revitalised stonework with a clean, uniform finish that enhances the character and durability of the structure.

Torc Blasting

We offer Torc blast cleaning, a gentle yet highly effective system that uses very fine media and a swirling vortex nozzle to cover large surface areas at low pressure, safely removing contaminants without damaging the substrate. All our staff are Stonehealth trained, and Ultrablast UK Ltd is a Stonehealth-approved contractor for Torc cleaning.

This method is widely used in English Heritage restoration projects and is ideal for cleaning listed buildings, as it preserves the integrity and character of historic stonework while delivering exceptional results.
