London is home to some of the world’s finest architecture, from Victorian terraces in Fulham to Georgian townhouses in Islington. However, decades of exposure to city pollution, carbon soot, and the British weather can leave your property looking tired, dark, and damp.

Many London properties are built with London Stock Bricks or Red Rubbers. These materials are porous and delicate. Using a standard high-pressure power washer—a common mistake by inexperienced contractors—can cause “spalling,” where the face of the brick cracks and peels off.
A clean, well-maintained exterior can increase a London property's value by as much as 5–10%.
Removing biological growth (moss, algae) and carbon crusts allows the building to "breathe," preventing moisture from getting trapped inside the walls.
We restore the natural yellow, plum, or red hues of your original brickwork, bringing back the "curb appeal" your home had when it was first built.
We are specialists in DOFF cleaning. This system heats water to 150°C, creating a high-temperature steam that is applied at very low pressure.
If your brickwork has been covered in layers of old masonry paint or graffiti, we use professional-grade stripping agents. We apply a specialized paste that breaks the bond between the paint and the brick, allowing us to peel or wash it away without scrubbing the brick raw.
For heavy carbon “crusting” (often seen on chimney stacks or properties near busy London roads), we use a swirling vortex of low-pressure air, a little water, and a fine granulate. This gently “erases” the dirt without scratching the masonry.

Yes. Our brick cleaning specialists use gentle, non-abrasive techniques designed to clean brickwork while minimising damage and protecting historic materials.
Prices typically range from £15 to £35 per m², depending on the height of the building and the type of staining. However, we prefer to provide a fixed-price quote after a site visit to ensure there are no hidden costs.
No. Because we use steam (DOFF) or controlled low-pressure systems, the water does not saturate the brick deeply. In fact, removing dirt allows your bricks to dry out more effectively, often reducing damp issues.
A standard two-story London terrace usually takes 2 to 4 days, depending on whether paint removal is required.
For many 2-story homes, we can work from towers or ladders. For higher properties, we can arrange scaffolding as part of our quote to make the process stress-free for you.
Yes. That black "crust" is usually carbon pollution. Our steam and chemical systems are specifically designed to break down carbon and return the brick to its original yellow or red color.
Cleaning should always come first. Cleaning often reveals hidden cracks in the mortar. Once the bricks are clean, we can then match the new mortar color perfectly to the cleaned brickwork.
