Natural stone gives a building real character, but it is easily damaged by the wrong cleaning method. We clean stone carefully, using methods chosen for the type of stone and the staining we are dealing with.
Stone we work with
- Sandstone, including the local Bargate stone found across south-west Surrey
- Limestone and Bath stone dressings, sills and lintels
- Flint and stone boundary walls
- Stone steps, copings, porches and garden features
Our approach
Soft stones are easily damaged by the wrong cleaning method. We assess the stone first and choose a method that suits it. A test patch comes first so you can see the result.
Where stone is already eroded or joints have failed, cleaning can be followed by sympathetic repointing in lime mortar.
Protection and run-off
We protect windows, doors, paving and planting, and manage water and residue so it does not stain paving or reach drains it should not. See how we protect your property.
