All manner of structures can benefit from sensitive, controlled masonry cleaning whether the end goal is to uncover the root of failure as part of condition survey or programme of repair, to strip away inappropriate coatings so that the original fabric can be revealed or to restore a ‘feature’ to its former glory should it make sense to do so.

Masonry Cleaning and Due Consideration
Before embarking on a programme of specialist masonry cleaning it is imperative to think carefully about the implications of any treatment to the fabric of the structure and consequences of an aesthetic change in relation to the whole of the building or the effect on its neighbours. We recommend a period of examination, discrete testing and recording to determine the most suitable methodology to adopt in order to insure against damage or erosion to fabric or minimise the potential for intractable staining from the aggressive use of poultices.
