Building exterior cleaning/restoration

Historic or architecturally important buildings – or any that need special care – can, if cleaned carefully and sensitively, be restored to their former glory. It's a specialist job, requiring specialist equipment and chemicals, which is where we come in. 
 

When a familiar old building has been cleaned and restored externally, the effect can be stunning.  When the great buildings in our cities were having the grime removed from them after the Clean Air Act was passed, anonymous, smoke-blackened hulks suddenly became beautifully designed and constructed edifices once more.

Even today, there are still plenty of buildings that can benefit from an exterior clean to refresh and restore them.  In addition, they may be suffering from paint and other coatings or graffiti, all of which can make them look tired and unloved.  With historic and listed buildings there is a duty of care to protect and preserve them for future generations, which means that new, more delicate, techniques have had to be developed to ensure that the cleaning process itself doesn't do more harm than good.

All our cleaning teams are trained in the latest cleaning methods and technology and are experienced in cleaning all types of building - stone, brick, terracotta and concrete - as well as the removal of paint and graffiti.  We use a complete range of safe, efficient, cost-effective and environmentally-friendly products to remove smoke damage, organic growth, carbonaceous soiling and graffiti and we can even apply sacrificial coatings to protect surfaces for the future.

Phoenix ES offers a consistently high standard of cleaning services utilising high-pressure steam, graffiti removal, wet abrasive cleaning, paint removal, poulticing, chemical cleaning and shot blasting.

We will advise you what is most suitable for your building and, if it's listed, work with conservation officers and English Heritage to ensure that our recommended procedure is approved and authorised by all concerned.
