THE TRANSFORMATION
Years of London grime settle into the pores of natural stone, dulling its colour and hiding the detail in mouldings, string courses and window surrounds. Our multi-stage cleaning process lifts embedded pollution and biological growth to reveal the stone’s true tone, restoring kerb appeal without abrasive or damaging techniques.
COMMON ISSUES
London’s climate and traffic take a visible toll on exposed stonework. Whatever is affecting your facade, we have a proven method to treat it.
Gypsum crusts caused by sulphur dioxide and airborne pollutants darken exposed stone, especially in sheltered areas.
Diesel particulates and road grime settle into porous stone surfaces along busy London streets.
Green biological growth thrives in damp, shaded or poorly ventilated areas of a facade.
Moss takes hold on ledges, sills and horizontal surfaces where moisture collects.
Historic soot and carbon staining from decades of pollution can darken entire elevations.
Poor rainwater management leaves streaking and mineral staining below sills and downpipes.
Frost, wind-driven rain and freeze-thaw cycles gradually erode exposed stone detailing.
Everyday grime and airborne dust dull the natural colour and finish of any facade.
STONE EXPERTISE
Different stones demand different care. Our technicians select the cleaning method, pressure and chemistry to suit the specific mineral composition of your facade.
London’s signature building stone, prized for its pale, even tone.
A soft sedimentary stone that responds well to gentle, low-pressure cleaning.
Porous and characterful, requiring careful pressure control to avoid erosion.
A durable sandstone popular for steps, paving and facades alike.
Extremely hard-wearing, tolerating higher pressure while retaining its polish.
Elegant and acid-sensitive, cleaned with pH-neutral, stone-safe solutions.
Naturally textured stone that needs careful attention to its open pores.
A concrete-based reconstituted stone found on many period London facades.
OUR METHOD
01
We carry out a full facade survey, noting stone type, soiling levels, existing damage and access requirements before work begins.
02
A discreet test area confirms the safest cleaning method, pressure and chemistry for your specific stone.
03
Graduated steam or low-pressure cleaning lifts pollution, algae and staining without abrading the stone surface.
04
A thorough rinse clears away loosened residue and cleaning agents, leaving the stone’s true colour visible.
05
A breathable, stone-appropriate sealant can be applied to help resist future staining and biological growth.

FAQ
Every building is different, so we price after a free site survey that considers the facade area, stone type, level of soiling and access requirements. As a guide, most residential frontages start from a few hundred pounds, while larger commercial facades are quoted per square metre once we’ve assessed scaffolding or access needs.
Yes. We use graduated, low-pressure methods and stone-appropriate cleaning agents, and always test on a discreet area first. For listed and historic buildings we work within conservation guidance and can liaise with your architect or conservation officer where required.
A typical house frontage takes one to two days. Larger commercial buildings vary depending on scaffold access, but we’ll give you an accurate timeline as part of your quote.
No, when carried out correctly. We match pressure, dwell time and chemistry to your specific stone type, avoiding the aggressive sandblasting or overly acidic treatments that can scar softer stones such as limestone and sandstone.
Yes. We use biodegradable, pH-balanced cleaning products wherever possible and always follow safe water run-off practices, particularly important on street-facing commercial buildings.
Yes, this is one of the most common issues we treat. Black gypsum crusts and traffic soiling sit on the surface of the stone and respond well to our steam and low-pressure cleaning systems.
It depends on the height and access of the building. Ground and first-floor work can often be completed from a cherry picker or ladders, while taller facades may require scaffolding, which we can help coordinate.
Most London buildings benefit from a full clean every five to ten years, though this varies with orientation, traffic exposure and whether a protective sealant has been applied.
Yes, every quote begins with a free, no-obligation site survey so we can assess the stone type, condition and best cleaning method before providing a fixed price.
Yes, we carry full public liability insurance and can provide certificates and risk assessments for property managers, landlords and commercial clients before work begins.
Yes, we offer optional breathable, stone-appropriate sealants that help resist future staining and biological growth while allowing the stone to breathe naturally.
