Whether you require indoor cleaning or outdoor cleaning, we’ve got you covered.
If you neglect the brick surfaces on your property, they will degrade and become unsightly, lowering the value of your home. Our thorough technique can restore your brickwork to its original state, improving both its visual appeal and structural longevity.
To identify damage to your brick surfaces, we first perform a detailed risk assessment. This allows us to create a personalised plan geared to your individual needs. Depending on the amount of damage, we use one of three creative procedures to clean your brickwork.
The TORIK Brick Cleaning System, which uses mild water pressure to remove dirt, grime, and pollutants from brick surfaces, is our recommended method. For ash and soot damage, we utilise soda blasting or sandblasting, which effectively repairs damaged surfaces.
We can efficiently restore your brick by removing a wide range of dirt and pollutants such as oil, chewing gum, graffiti, guano, mildew, and mould.
What type of waterproofing should you use?
The exposure of exterior brickwork to regular and excessive rainfall can lead to water absorption over time, causing the bricks to retain moisture. As the seasons change, this moisture becomes vulnerable to the freeze-thaw effect, which can lead to structural damage to the bricks.
The presence of moisture provides an ideal environment for growths such as mould and mildew, further compromising the integrity of brick. Implementing effective waterproofing methods becomes integral to tackling these issues and protecting the brickwork from water-related damage.
Various waterproofing techniques are available, each differing in cost and approach to preventing water from penetrating the bricks.
Painting waterproofing
One popular method is specialised masonry paints designed to provide a waterproof barrier. This protects the bricks from water and grants homeowners the freedom to choose colours that match the neighbourhood's aesthetic.
Silicone waterproofing
Silicone-based sealants, considered one of the most effective waterproofing methods, offer protection against extreme weather conditions, including snow, frost, and heavy rain. Silicone waterproofing can also improve the building's insulation, reduce energy bills, and increase efficiency.
Damp-proof membrane
Exterior damp-proof membranes are available in sheet form and made from various materials, featuring a glue-like texture. Applied to external brick walls that contain a basement, damp-proof membranes act as a reliable barrier against moisture infiltration from the ground.
Plaster waterproofing
A straightforward method involves applying a cement-sand mortar plaster to the brick surface once the construction is complete. This plaster creates an additional protective layer, shielding the underlying bricks from direct exposure to water.
By employing appropriate waterproofing techniques based on the specific requirements and budget, homeowners can maintain the integrity and appearance of their exterior brickwork. Preventing water from penetrating the bricks ensures the structural integrity and preserves its appearance.

How pressure washers can damage your brick wall
We recommend hiring experienced brick cleaners with an IPAF certification to conduct the cleaning process. If the brickwork is above eye level, it is crucial not to attempt cleaning it yourself due to potential safety hazards.
Certain types of brick damage, such as frost-related cracks or graffiti stains, require specialised cleaning procedures that commercial cleaning cannot solve. Relying on professional brick cleaners with the qualifications and appropriate equipment is integral to preserving the integrity of the brickwork.
However, if the brick surfaces are at eye level and require routine maintenance and cleaning, you should work safely. As suggested by Royal Stone Care, the recommended approach is to use a hard bristle brush and warm soapy water.
This method ensures safe and effective cleaning without causing harm to the brick or risking damage to your skin. It is advisable to wear gloves during the cleaning process regardless to protect your hands.
By employing this safe technique for brick cleaning, you can maintain the beauty and condition of your brick surfaces regularly. Removing surface grime not only enhances the overall appearance of the brickwork but also helps prevent the build-up of dirt, which may lead to more severe damage over time.
