Beauty Restored to Building a Century Old
Doff stone cleaning in Glasgow is one of our most popular services. During a period of great urban growth during the late Victorian era red sandstone was a popular choice in the area. Over time, the combination of pollution such as coal smoke and vehicle emissions, and also the growth of moss, algae, and lichen, dull the surface of the stone. The structure of the building remained stunning, but the colour is being lost.
Is Jet Washing Suitable for Sandstone?
We do not recommend it. There is a fragility to sandstone that makes this unsuitable. Doff uses gentle steam cleaning to remove dirt without damaging the stone itself.
Trained Doff Technicians
Our staff are trained in the use of cleaning sandstone with the Doff system. First they will assess the stone and undertake a sample clean in an area that is out of sight. This means that they can adjust pressure and temperature to optimal settings for your stonework. For this reason, we do not recommend you hire a machine and try to do the work yourself.
