Brick Cleaning London

Contributing Factors To Brick Discoloration

While our technicians are on the job, we usually encounter the following factors, which contribute heavily to the discolouration and wear and tear of bricks:

• Harsh weather
• Pollutants: carbon deposits, traffic film (This is increasingly popular within central London)
• Biological matter: moss, lichen, algae and fungi, mould spores
• The general neglect of the building 
• Graffiti, bird fouling, cigarette burns 

Our brick cleaning London & UK technicians have seen a rise in the number of buildings that are needing regular brick cleaning, due to the high amounts of pollution within busy cities and towns across the nation. This issue not only alters the visual appearance of the buildings but can cause damage to the architecture.

Why we are your best option for brick cleaning

Years of experience and knowledge
Over time, bricks can become stained by graffiti, paint and biological matters. This will leave your brickwork looking worse for wear and visually uninviting. Brick cleaning can be a tedious and challenging process, especially if you don’t have the equipment or knowledge, you could end up creating more damage without realising. 

Quick, realistic quotations
Once we have received your enquiry, our support team will ask you some questions relating to the job, so we have more of an understanding of what you are after, we may also require you to send us some images of the areas you want to be serviced. We will then have the ability to produce a more accurate estimation of the cost promptly.

Efficient in the work we do
Combining traditional methods and new cleaning processes, we will bring out the best version of your property. All of our technicians who take on brick cleaning jobs are fully approved and licensed users of DOFF systems and TORC. We have been the leading brick cleaning London company for years; our clients can attest for that.

Steam Brick Cleaning

Our steam-based cleaning system is called TORIK; we use this specific system to clean masonry and brickwork. TORIK uses a very high temperature of steam, with a low volume of water. Thus, there will never be a worry of the substance becoming too saturated. The steam is gently applied to the affected surface, with a highly adjustable nozzle, it can reach into even the smallest of places and eradicate all forms of dirt, grime, algae, moss and fungi. The steam can reach temperatures of 150°C; there is nothing that can withstand this system. The TORIK brick cleaning process prevents all types of biological regrowth, resulting in your brickwork remaining clean and visually appealing for longer.

We are incredibly conscious of the environmental impact of toxins within London; we don’t want to be known to contribute towards the pollution levels. Therefore, you can feel rest assured that this system doesn’t use any form of chemical biocide; it merely is pure water, heated to a high temperature with a string pressure.  

Exterior Paint Removal

Removing paint or paint residues from brick can be challenging to say the least, especially if the correct cleaning methods are not applied. If you are attempting to remove the paint yourself, the likelihood is that you will further damage the visual appearance and possibly start to cause issues to the structure. 

We use only the most effective and delicate brick cleaning methods, including types of equipment such as, the TORIK, which are both eco-friendly machines, highly recommended by brick cleaning specialists all over London. 

After we have finished our cleaning service, one of our technicians will always assess the building again, to suggest the best type of sealant to help minimise future wear and tear of the brickwork.
