| | You've landed here from our Google Advert for our Sand blasting / Sand
jetting
services. As you will see from the pictures below and in the rest of the site
(please look!) there isn't much we can't clean - but I haven't included some of
the nastier pictures most of which seem to involve bird droppings!
While we are based in Yorkshire, we will, and do, travel the length and
breadth of the country with our machines.
A data sheet on our brick cleaning services, a suitable summary for printing
is available in pdf format, here
We specialise
in using a low pressure sand jetting system that has been used nationwide for
property restoration, including gaining approval for and subsequently working
on many Listed Buildings.
The system, in our trained hands, causes minimal damage to an underlying
surface and is flexible enough to tackle most property restoration cleaning
tasks.
The low pressure sand jet can clean bricks without
injecting large quantities of water into the surface, and with
minimal surface damage, at the same time, the
'wet' system also captures dirt and abrasive, preventing the health
and safety risks associated with dry blasting.

Museum Street Corner in the
centre of York. A listed Grade II building
cleaned by us for Lanstone Conservation in September 2008. Having cleaned the Assembly rooms (the building out of
shot on the left) in February, we were invited to clean the next
building in the block. The work required a full scaffold, boarded at all levels
and sheeted to minimise disruption to pedestrians.

| The
'North Face' of the Grand Hotel in Scarborough, which we
cleaned in 2006. Not the simplest of jobs, the ground slopes
below the walls, requiring scaffolding (the full scaffold
cost the customer about £80,000! - there were about 27
separate levels connected by ladders); the job was done in
February, March and April to minimise disruption to the
seagull nesting season and the tourist trade, and introduced
'cold weather' challenges that we could have done without. |

Key Benefits
- The low pressures mean that the system is gentle enough to clean delicate surfaces, yet powerful enough to strip multiple layers of paint in one pass.
- It is not a chemical process so no noxious or harmful slurries or fumes are generated.
- As it uses only minimal amounts of water and abrasive the system is regularly used indoors.
- Considerably less mess than other systems, the low pressures mean that secondary mess (dust being blown out of floorboards etc) is also minimised.
- Cleaning to the requirements of BS 8221-1&2 :2000 the British Standard Code of Practice for Cleaning and Surface repair of buildings.
- Quick efficient Graffiti Removal. No interference with other work in area.
