Surface Preparation and Cleaning - By The Experts
Stone Cleaning
Our system has been used nationwide for property restoration, including gaining approval for and subsequently working on many Listed Buildings. |
The low pressure sand jet can clean stone without injecting large quantities of water into the surface, and with minimal surface damage.

A West Yorkshire House - part cleaned - December 2003
A West Yorkshire Office Block (Sandstone) |
Like with bricks, the sand jet will only blow out loose pointing. In general re-pointing is unnecessary after using this process. |
Paint can be just as effectively removed from stone, as from brick. |
- The low pressures mean that the system is gentle enough to clean delicate surfaces, yet powerful enough to strip multiple layers of paint in one pass.
- It is not a chemical process so no noxious or harmful slurries or fumes are generated.
- As it uses only minimal amounts of water and abrasive the system is regularly used indoors.
- Considerably less mess than other systems, the low pressures mean that secondary mess (dust being blown out of floorboards etc) is also minimised.
- Cleaning to the requirements of BS 8221-1&2 :2000 the British Standard Code of Practice for Cleaning and Surface repair of buildings.
- Has successfully cleaned stone, bricks, metal, hard woods and fibreglass. Quick efficient Graffiti Removal. No interference with other work in area.
