Yorkshire brick and stone masonry
Careful facade cleaning

Clean brickwork without treating every wall the same.

Brick cleaning should begin with the surface, the staining and the condition of the mortar. We choose a controlled method, test a small area where appropriate, and avoid aggressive treatment that can scar brick faces or drive water into the wall.

Useful answers

Brick Cleaning questions

These answers cover the usual starting points. The wall itself decides the final specification.

Do you pressure wash brickwork?

High pressure is not the default. The method and pressure must suit the brick, mortar and staining to avoid surface loss and water ingress.

Can every stain be removed?

No responsible contractor can promise that without inspection. Some staining can be reduced rather than completely removed, and a test patch helps set realistic expectations.

Should cleaning happen before repointing?

Often yes, because cleaning may reveal weak joints or damaged bricks. The order depends on the wall and the chosen cleaning method.

Will brick cleaning change the colour?

Cleaning reveals the underlying surface, which may differ from weathered areas. We discuss the likely result after testing.
