We employ two main methods of stone cleaning, the DOFF steam cleaning system for the removal of vegetation, spores and the like and in conjunction with a softener for paint removal.
We also use the TORC system in conjunction with an aggregate to remove staining and more stubborn paint and graffiti, the aggregate used being dolomite and calcite based is of sufficient strength to remove the staining and paint but without damaging the stone below.
Any cleaning or paint removal will require a sample panel to be undertaken to determine the best methodology to be adopted
Gareth Smith“Conservation Masonry carried out refurbishment works to Peeblesshire War Memorial in 2014 on behalf of SBC after funding was awarded from The War Memorial Trust. This work entailed stone and leadwork repairs, repointing and DOFF cleaning and involved close liaison with various specialists and organisations.
The job was carried out on budget and to programme but also the quality of work was exemplary. I would have no hesitation in using Conservation Masonry again.”
