Professional Brick Cleaning Services in East London

Professional Brick Cleaning Services in East London

For over a century, East London was the industrial heart of the capital. While the factories are largely gone, their legacy remains in the form of thick, black carbon crusting on the region’s iconic yellow “London Stock” and red “Rubber” brickwork.

The Gold Standard for East London Cleaning

In East London, where many buildings are Grade II listed or situated in Conservation Areas (such as Wanstead or Victoria Park), the method of cleaning is strictly regulated. We utilize the DOFF Superheated Steam System, the only method consistently recommended by heritage experts.

How DOFF Cleaning Works

Unlike traditional pressure washers that rely on kinetic force to “blast” dirt away, the DOFF system uses thermal shock.

150°C Steam

Water is heated to a superheated state at the nozzle.

Low Pressure

The pressure remains extremely low, ensuring the "fire-skin" (the protective outer layer) of the brick is never compromised.

Chemical-Free

No harsh acids or toxins are released into the East London environment, making it safe for families and gardens.

Expert Guidance on Brick Cleaning East London

Find clear answers to common questions about our brick cleaning services in East London, including methods, safety, heritage properties, and what to expect from professional brick cleaning specialists.

Will steam cleaning make my house damp?

No. In fact, the DOFF system uses very little water compared to a standard pressure washer. The high temperature causes the water to evaporate almost instantly, ensuring your internal walls stay dry.

Can you clean bricks that have been painted?

Yes. We use a combination of specialized (non-toxic) softeners and the DOFF system to gently peel back layers of paint without scarring the brickwork underneath.

Do I need a permit for the street?

If we are working on a busy East London pavement (such as in Hackney or Aldgate), you may need a scaffolding or "hoarding" permit. We handle all the logistics and council applications for you.
