STONE FACADE RESTORATION
Professional Stone Facade Cleaning London
We restore the natural colour and character of Portland stone, limestone, sandstone and granite building facades across London — lifting decades of pollution staining, algae and carbon deposits without harming the stone beneath. Fully insured and trusted on commercial and residential buildings throughout the capital.


THE TRANSFORMATION
See the difference proper stone cleaning makes
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.

STONE EXPERTISE
Suitable for every natural stone type
Different stones demand different care. Our technicians select the cleaning method, pressure and chemistry to suit the specific mineral composition of your facade.

Portland Stone
London’s signature building stone, prized for its pale, even tone.

Limestone
A soft sedimentary stone that responds well to gentle, low-pressure cleaning.

Sandstone
Porous and characterful, requiring careful pressure control to avoid erosion.

York Stone
A durable sandstone popular for steps, paving and facades alike.

Granite
Extremely hard-wearing, tolerating higher pressure while retaining its polish.

Marble
Elegant and acid-sensitive, cleaned with pH-neutral, stone-safe solutions.

Travertine
Naturally textured stone that needs careful attention to its open pores.

Cast Stone
A concrete-based reconstituted stone found on many period London facades.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does stone facade cleaning cost in London?
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.
Is stone cleaning safe for older or listed buildings?
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.
How long does a stone facade cleaning project take?
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.
Will cleaning damage or erode the stone?
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.
Do you offer eco-friendly cleaning methods?
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.
Can you remove black staining and traffic pollution?
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.
Do I need scaffolding for facade cleaning?
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.
How often should a stone facade be cleaned?
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.
Do you provide a free site survey?
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.
Are you insured to work on commercial and residential buildings?
Yes, we carry full public liability insurance and can provide certificates and risk assessments for property managers, landlords and commercial clients before work begins.
Can you apply a protective coating after cleaning?
Yes, we offer optional breathable, stone-appropriate sealants that help resist future staining and biological growth while allowing the stone to breathe naturally.
