Stone Building Facade Cleaning in London
DOFF Stone Cleaning in London
We use specialist non-abrasive stone cleaning DOFF steam cleaning and professional soft washing. Our steam based masonry cleaners can be physically adjusted to the correct temperature and pressure level needed to proficiently clean your stone surfaces. The mixture of 150C heat and low pressure enables us to professionally clean and remove even the most stubborn of stains from your stone and organic matter including Fungi, Algae and Lichen. Once we have eradicated the biological spores as part of our stone cleaning process and we can sterilise the stone to inhibit further re-infestations.
Another benefit of our steam-based masonry cleaning system is that because our stone cleaning equipment functions on a particularly low waterflow. This means our stone cleaning methods avoid saturating the stone during the stone cleaning process and your London stone surfaces are dry rapidly.
Can I DIY Stone Cleaning?
Stone cleaning in London is not for the average DIY’er. You can’t simply watch a ‘how to clean my stone’ video online and take on your own London stone cleaning job. Stone is a beautiful and expensive material which doesn’t lend itself to cheap or DIY cleaning attempts. As London stone cleaning professionals, DSW can minimise the impact of daily wear to your stonework and preserve your stone investment. Our stone cleaning methods do depend on a) the type of stone you have and b) the extent and nature of the discolouration.
Is Stone Cleaning Important?
Yes, stone cleaning is important. If you have elected to have stone as a surafce for your flooring, walls, cladding, patio or any other external hard surface, you likely esteem the special charm and character of stone. As a natural material no two peices of cut stone are identical – although every piece will need stone cleaning. Stone like brick is an amazingly hard-wearing surface but it does need regular cleaning to maintain it’s condition, charm & beauty.

Will creeper plants damage my stonework or brick walls?
Decorative creeper plants can enhance the appearance but sadly they can sometimes have some unsightly and destructive effects on facades and even on the structure and stability of buildings.
Ivy, for example, can cause persistent dampness on a wall, they can easily disturb eaves, copings, dwarf walls or roof coverings and they can even cause structural damage to foundations, walls, parapets and roofs. Most of these potential problems can, indirectly, cause serious facade staining, mainly by facilitating water penetration.
Other organic growth, such as lichen, algae and moss can be unsightly because growth on building facades can often leave permanent stains.
In addition, some creeper plants will, inevitably damage a facade by a) scouring soft masonry surfaces, b) causing persistent dampness by secreting acidic substances through their suckers and tendrils and c) leaving dead roots, off-shoots or branches attached firmly to the facade.
I need stone cleaning but I like the weathered look - can you leave the building looking slightly aged?
We recognise that particularly with heritage sites and listed building the ‘weathered’ appearance of a building facade can be considered as part of it’s character. Sometimes having a noticeable aged or ‘weathered’ building or monument is a noteworthey factor for reveal parts of a building’s history (for example, by potentialy hghlighting between original parts of a structure and later additions).
That being said, soiling on a brick or stone facade is more significant than simply an aesthetic problem. When you get heavy soiling in particula, it can very easily hide structural defects (such as deteriorated pointing, local fractures or even major structural cracks). Heavy soiling can also cause damage to detailing, decay to bricks and stone whihc can eventually result in structural problems for the whole building – a very costly side effect.
I have a listed building and I need stone cleaning. Can you help?
Owners or occupiers of listed buildings who need facade cleaning should note that cleaning works on such buildings will require Listed Building Consent. An application should be made to your local Council for this Consent and that works must not start before any Consent is formally granted.
