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 stone 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.

A further advantage of the system we use is that it also uses far less abrasive than traditional techniques, making expensive abrasives cost effective, but more significantly reducing waste. Abrasive does not need to be recycled, preventing cross contamination between jobs, and apart from in specialist cases, is not a major part of the running costs.

Sometimes, however, chemical stripping solutions offer a rapid and effective method for graffiti removal - they are particularly useful for removing graffiti from over painted surfaces or from surfaces such as galvanising that may be damaged by abrasives.

Subsequent sealing of surfaces can minimise re-occurence of graffiti, but care must be taken to avoid providing a primed 'background colour' for new graffiti.

 

A Partially Cleaned Wall in Hull- cleaned by us in July 2002.

A YEB Substation, again in Hull, cleaned in May 2002. While Abrasive cleaning is very effective, often graffiti is painted on top of paint, chemical stripping then becomes more appropriate
 
This wasn't actually graffiti, but the new owner of this house requested that we clean the walls of the artwork left by the previous owner.

This again (!) was in Hull, cleaned in June 2001.

Bricks can be sealed using Epichem's silane products to make it very difficult to reapply graffiti to a surface - paint doesn't stick, and what does can be wiped or pressure washed clean.

horizontal rule

bulletThe 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.
bulletIt is not a chemical process so no noxious or harmful slurries or fumes are generated.
bulletAs it uses only minimal amounts of water and abrasive the system is regularly used indoors.
bulletConsiderably less mess than other systems, the low pressures mean that secondary mess (dust being blown out of floorboards etc) is also minimised.
bulletCleaning to the requirements of BS 8221-1&2 :2000 the British Standard Code of Practice for Cleaning and Surface repair of buildings.
bulletQuick efficient Graffiti Removal. No interference with other work in area.
