Waterless Interior Brickwork Cleaning

Waterless Interior Brick & Stone Cleaning

Exposed brick walls, fireplaces, and internal stonework add character and value to London homes. However, over time, they become magnets for dust, soot, and staining.

The Science of the TORC System

The TORC system is the “successor” to the older JOS system. It is widely considered the most effective tool for heritage restoration in the UK.

Low-Pressure Vortex

Instead of a direct "blast," the TORC nozzle creates a gentle, swirling vortex of low-pressure air and ultra-fine inert granules (usually calcium carbonate).

Minimal Water Usage

While called "waterless" in contrast to traditional jet washing, the system uses only a tiny fraction of water (often just a mist) to control dust. For sensitive interiors, it can be adjusted to operate as a completely dry or nearly dry process.

Non-Abrasive

It removes the dirt off the surface without eroding the "fire-skin" of the brick or the "quarry crust" of the stone.

Why Internal Brickwork Needs a Specialist Touch

Interior bricks are often softer and more porous than those used on the exterior. They have not been “hardened” by the weather and are highly susceptible to damage from

Abrasive Scouring

Wire brushes and sandblasting can permanently pit the brick, making it look rough and “sandy.”

Chemical Saturation

Acids can linger in the porous brick, slowly eating away at the mortar and releasing unpleasant odors for months.

Water Ingress

Introducing large volumes of water indoors can lead to hidden mold growth behind the masonry or damage to floorboards and plasterwork.

Is the process dusty?

The TORC system is designed to be as clean as possible. While any cleaning process creates some debris, we use extensive masking, floor protection, and high-powered dust extraction to ensure your home remains clean throughout the process.

Will it damage my Grade I or II listed building?

No. In fact, the TORC system is specifically recommended by English Heritage and conservation officers because it is non-destructive. It is the safest way to clean listed masonry.

How long does it take?

Most interior feature walls or fireplaces can be completed in a single day. Larger projects, such as a full basement restoration, may take longer.

Do the bricks need to be "sealed" after cleaning?

Once cleaned, the bricks look beautiful in their natural state. However, in high-traffic areas or kitchens, we can apply a breathable, matte sealant to protect the surface from future oil and dust staining.
