Service
A Gentle and Sensitive Approach to the Cleaning, Restoration and Preservation of your Traditional, Heritage or Listed Building.
Careful removal of algae, moss, flexible paints and more — with low pressure, high temperature and low volumes of water to protect the original fabric.
Restoring and Preserving Masonry without Damaging Surfaces
Over time, many historic stone and masonry buildings have been coated with modern paints or sealants that were never designed for traditional construction. These coatings can trap moisture, prevent the building from breathing properly, and conceal the natural beauty of the original materials.
Using our High-Tech DOFF Cleaning system with adjustable water temperatures of up to 150°C at the nozzle, Lincolnshire Restoration Services can gently and sympathetically clean and remove flexible paints, graffiti, algae, moss and more.
What DOFF Can Do
Our specially trained operatives and superheated DOFF system, unlike other systems such as sand blasting, can clean surfaces with a 0% surface damage guarantee.
By being able to adjust both pressure and temperature we are able to adapt the superheated system to clean paint, dirt, biological matter and more.
Our specialist cleaning services not only restore and preserve your building to former glory but provide you with your first line of defence to a damp free and energy efficient building.
Brick
The DOFF Integra easily tackles ingrained surface contaminants on brick buildings. With preventative maintenance, you will protect the structural integrity of your brick property and keep it free from paint and graffiti.
Paint
Using particular settings, the DOFF Integra can clean painted surfaces without leaving chips or other damage. This gentle yet powerful approach thoroughly cleans grime and graffiti, giving your painted properties new life.
Stone / Masonry
Every building or site made of stone requires consistent cleaning and maintenance. Such properties are open to the elements and therefore suffer from moss and fungal build-up, as well as other biological matter.
Wood
Over time, wooden properties can suffer from biological matter that damages the surface structure. This unit uses minimal water and low pressure surface cleaning, perfect for porous materials like wood.
Suitable for Historic and Traditional Properties
This service is designed for buildings where modern cleaning or paint removal methods could cause damage to the masonry. Techniques are carefully selected to suit the materials, age, and condition of the structure.
Listed buildings
Traditional stone and brick properties
Period homes and cottages
Buildings undergoing restoration or conservation work
Preparing surfaces for lime pointing and conservation work
Churches, cathedrals and monuments
The Restoration Process
A Careful, Building Led Method. Every restoration project follows a structured process to ensure the correct methods and materials are used.
Initial Assessment
We assess the building's surface to identify contaminants such as paint, soot, carbon deposits, alongside an overall fabric condition check to highlight any recommended isolated repairs.
Surface Testing
Small test areas are carried out where required to identify the most effective technique without causing damage to the underlying material.
Controlled Contaminant Removal
Our specifically trained operatives mask and protect sensitive areas, adjust temperature and pressure to suit the substrate, and carry out the clean removing dirt, biological growth and paint.
Post Clean Conservation
Once contaminants are removed, the building is left to dry naturally and inspected to ensure the surface is restored while preserving its original texture and detail.
