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.
However, a typical reason for a house being
painted is that the bricks or stone is porous, and the paint is there to keep
the water out. Taking the paint off will not improve the water repellent
properties of the brick or stone.
To restore these properties, we now offer
Silane sealing of surfaces. Photographs of buildings sealed with these
chemicals would look very dull, unlike traditional silicone products there is
no noticeable colour change before or after application.
Other sealing product formulations are also
available, 'Stay Clean' seals the stone or brick more fully and will minimise
the adhesion of dirt and grime in the future, 'Anti Graffiti' seals the
surface even more fully, preventing much graffiti from sticking, and allowing
that which does to be wiped or washed clean. Unlike wax anti graffiti products
the silane product does not need reapplication after cleaning.
