Paint Removal and Stonework Cleaning in a two stage approach

Heavy paint over soft sandstone can be difficult to remove without damaging the original stonework. That is unless you use our two stage approach that delicately protects the original stonework while powerfully removing the thick outer paint layer and cleaning the stone as well.

This two stage paint removal process uses DOFF Steam Cleaning Technology to lift the paint away from the stonework and then TORC Blast Cleaning to remove the carbon staining on the sandstone.

What is DOFF Steam Cleaning?

Doff Steam Cleaning is a modern marvel in cleaning technology. It is safer to us on delicate sandstone unlike pressure washing as it does not use brute force to clean surfaces. It achieves far better results without damaging the material beneath. There are NO chemicals used in DOFF Cleaning and in comparison to pressure washing, uses very little water, making it better for the environment.

By using super heated steam instead of high pressure jet washing, DOFF can minimise the risk of damage to the underlying stonework.

DOFF Cleaning System can be used to remove oil based paint, moss, algae, mould, rust staining, water straining and varnishes.

What is TORC Blast Cleaning?

TORC Stone Cleaning System is the best way to carefully clean stonework on historic, older and listed buildings.

It will not damage building surfaces and is the ideal cleaning tool for stone cleaning projects including historic cathedrals, churches, listed buildings and similar delicate stonework buildings and monuments. It can gently remove carbon sulphates, brittle paints, limescale, moss and other biomatter.
