Cleaning
Stonework Cleaning is a delicate business and should always be performed not just by a professional – but by a professional with the right tools.
We have both DOFF Steam Cleaning and TORC Stonework Cleaning System to carefully remove staining to stonework without damaging the original material.
TORC Stonework Cleaning is an advanced cleaning method that is the preferred choice of various heritage organisations across Scotland and England. It can gently remove carbon sulphates, brittle paints, limescale, moss and other bio matter from stonework WITHOUT damaging the building surface.
DOFF Steam Cleaning uses super heated steam to remove paint and bio matter like moss and algae from stonework. It uses no chemicals yet is brilliantly gentle to the stonework because the pressure of the steam coming out of the novel is so gentle.
Our DOFF Steam System can also be used as a Softwash system for stonework cleaning.
With these two advanced sandstone stonework cleaning tools, we can offer a class leading service to customers who want their building sandstone cleaned and returned to its former glory.
Inspection
Drone Surveys can provide fast access to dangerous areas that are either too dangerous to access or too difficult to access by traditional inspection teams. They are faster, more cost effective and provide a superior level of image capturing. You can understand why they are becoming such a popular choice for building structure inspection.
When it comes to conventional building inspection, it can miss so many things. From gaps in roofing insulation caused by storm damage to leaking pipes and cracks in the building structure. All of these issues were commonly missed by conventional methods but through drone surveys, we can now spot them more accurately.
Our commercial drones, equipped with state of the art thermal imaging technology can locate these issues, capture them in digital format and create digital reports on the issues which can be assessed by experts ranging from architects to surveyors, builders to roofers and structural engineers, damp specialists etc.
