With 30 years’ experience, APT provides tailor made solutions for your brick cleaning & restoration projects in Leeds.
As an owner of an old brick or stone building in Leeds you are faced with a dilemma – to clean or not to clean. If you don’t clean your bricks or stonework, your building will continue to look unkempt and be damaged by the mosses, lichens, bird lime and pollutants that have accumulated over the years.
The purpose of cleaning is to remove the contamination while causing little or no damage to the bricks, stones or mortar. This can be hard to achieve since the dirt can be embedded within the surface of the masonry and joints. Using chemical methods or aggressive high pressure water washing for cleaning old brickwork and stone can cause more damage than leaving it dirty.
If you do choose to have your bricks renovated and your stone cleaned, you will want to know that it is being done properly using environmentally sound and appropriate methods.
Air vortex blast cleaning using gentle abrasives enables us to clean old brickwork with minimal damage. Soda blasting is one of our preferred methods of revitalising and cleaning bricks and stones in Leeds. We use compressed air to fire specially graded sodium bicarbonate crystals and specialised blended blast media at your masonry in order to remove surface deposits.
Cleaning Bricks with Soda Blasting Removes:
It does not damage the substrate and is environmentally friendly. It works from the outside in, gently removing successive layers of the contamination until the brick cleaning is complete.
APT is the leading soda blasting contractor for Leeds, call us on 0800 0723 773 for further information.
Where the main problems are with moss, algae and fungi, the APT’s super-heated steam cleaning system is perfect. This was designed by our site operatives working with engineers and uses low pressure steam at high temperature. It is a very efficient brick and stone cleaning method that cuts down on labour costs and therefore it is a highly cost effective option for you. Other benefits include:
But the skill lies as much with the operator as the method. The machine can’t differentiate between sound and weaker brickwork or hard and soft stonework; it can’t differentiate between soiling and substrate. A trained operator, such as our APT cleaning technicians can.
