Professional Brick Cleaning Services
We’re Broadstairs’ leading experts for brick cleaning solutions.
We’re a local, reliable cleaning company based in the South East of England.
Here in the UK, where more than 80% of homes contain this masonry material, we are all too familiar with the traditional, well-known style of red brick. We rely on it so much because of its dependability, energy effectiveness, and affordable construction.
Due to their durability and affordability, many UK buildings contain brick, yet we frequently forget that bricks require the same maintenance as interiors. Even though bricks are known to survive for hundreds of years, you must periodically maintain and clean them to keep them in good condition.
We at ICE Cleaning provide effective and environmentally safe brick cleaning solutions. Our professionals thoroughly wash bricks using the TORIK Brick Cleaning System to eliminate any lingering stains or damage. We are accessible nationally, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and can be on-site as soon as possible in an emergency.
You can either give us a call at 0208 066 0360 or email us at enquiries@icecleaning.co.uk to find out more about the full range of industrial cleaning services available for customers in Broadstairs.

We use only the latest, industry-leading tools and equipment to carry out our brick cleaning services in Broadstairs.
When you contact us, we will ask for images or videos of your brick surface, which we will send to our brick cleaners. With the aid of these photographs, we can understand your needs and recommend the best course of action.
Our brick cleaners will perform a risk assessment when they get to the job site to find potential dangers. Additionally, they will visually examine the brick, looking for any signs of possible damage like cracks, chipping, or structural flaws.
Following that, our professionals will start cleaning using the TORIK Brick Cleaning System. This heat-based technique involves dousing the wall in non-abrasive, low-pressure water. It is a delicate steam cleaning method that eliminates all bacteria.
This technique successfully eliminates every trace of oil, chewing gum, pigeon guano, graffiti, and biological growths. We provide this service to all clients in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, and we guarantee a success rate of 100% for all our cleaning.
What types of bricks are there?
We use various brick classes for certain structures designed with specific design intentions. A brick house will have different bricks compared to an underground tunnel because one requires specialised protection.
Bricks are made with varying temperatures or designed to meet a distinct aesthetic, with each brick created with different quality standards in mind. There are four classes of bricks that we use in the UK, including:
Engineering bricks
Created to withstand extreme conditions like low temperatures, excess moisture, and intense compression strength. They are also resistant to chemicals, which makes them perfect for projects building underground works, foundations, and water-related projects.
Concrete blocks
Although not traditional bricks, they are a cost-effective solution to bricks, supplying strong barriers, heat and water resistance, and thermal conductivity. They are often used for construction work or support.
Facing bricks
These are bricks we are more familiar with seeing, built on the exterior of homes, and created to be aesthetically pleasing. They are made with clay at a high temperature, making them weather-resistant, heat-resistant, and energy efficient.
Common bricks
These mismatched and odd-coloured bricks are used for projects that have no intention to meet aesthetic appeal. Common bricks are better used in shared walls or second wall layers but can be paired with facing bricks.
Do brick cleaners work with historical buildings?
Maintaining a historical property built with bricks is integral to keeping the structure standing. Although bricks will naturally deteriorate over time, the frequent cleaning and upkeep of the materials will prolong their predicted lifespan.
Historical buildings may require the replacement of broken bricks every so often, but this is avoidable with specialist brick cleaning services. Because of the age of these bricks and older materials, they need gentle and thorough methods to ensure the material is not damaged.
Many historical buildings are maintained with their original brickwork by a company working under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990. This act provides special protection for these buildings, ensuring they are maintained and cleaned correctly.
We cover all areas in the Thanet District of Kent, including:
- Birchington-on-Sea
- Cliffsend
- Manston
- Margate
- Minster-in-Thanet
- Monkton
- Ramsgate
- Sarre
- Westgate-on-Sea
Can old brick be restored?
The restoration of old or historical brickwork is a complicated process that could go wrong without professional brick cleaners. This process is called repointing, which seeks to restore brickwork or replace old mortar with new joints.
When repointing historical brick, there is a risk that the mortar is incompatible with the original material, causing cracks and internal rot. If done incorrectly, this could tarnish the character of the building.
The best course of action for brick restoration processes is to seek the assistance of expert brick cleaners and work closely with architectural salvage companies. Combining these two specialist sources will ensure the restoration of your historical brick wall.
