South London is home to a magnificent array of brickwork, from the iconic yellow “London Stocks” of Southwark and Lambeth to the rich red brickwork of Richmond and Kingston. However, decades of exposure to urban pollution, carbon soot, and the damp riverside climate can leave these facades looking dull, blackened, and neglected.
Need Any Help?
For properties in South London’s many Conservation Areas or Listed Buildings, we exclusively recommend the DOFF Superheated Steam system.
The DOFF system heats water to 150°C. This superheated steam melts away carbon crusting, bitumen, and biological growth (algae and moss) on contact.
Because the heat does the work, we use extremely low pressure. This ensures the protective outer layer of the brick is never compromised.
The process uses only water, making it safe for the leafy residential streets of Bromley, Wandsworth, and Merton.
Properties near high-traffic corridors in Southwark, Lambeth, and Lewisham often develop a thick “black crust.” This crust traps moisture against the brick, leading to decay. Our DOFF system lifts this soot effortlessly, allowing the masonry to breathe again.
In the damp, shaded streets of Greenwich and Richmond, moss and algae are common. Standard cleaning often leaves spores behind, leading to quick regrowth. The high temperatures of our steam system kill the spores at the root, ensuring a longer-lasting clean.
