Brick Work Cleaning
Total Outdoor Maintenance Services Ltd specialises in brick work cleaning.
On new builds, it is vital to protect the longevity of a newly erected building, when removing lime, mortar, cement, and other building site detritus. Established building surfaces also become infected over time.
To protect and cleanse brickwork a softwash is recommended in both cases. High-pressure jets should never be used on masonry brick restoration.
Diligence in brickwork cleaning is imperative. Using water, no matter what the pressure or amount, can prove hazardous to any building when misdirected, so we utilize our health and safety expertise and exercise all necessary precautions. Our commitment to best practice guarantees that water will never enter where it shouldn’t because we seal all and any potential water entry points prior to cleaning, using temporary guttering if necessary. We undertake a thorough inspection of the masonry surface prior to cleaning, to identify any areas that require repair or re-pointing.
On newly erected brickwork the finish can be adversely affected by smears caused by lime, mortar, and cement pointing. Left to their own devices these smears and deposits take weeks and months to weather away. Softwash cleaning techniques can be used to remove these loose adherent residues. In such cases, we use a designated brick cleaning agent that removes brick acids, followed by a low-pressure rinse with clean water.
