The work
What we clean.
Grime, mould in shaded corners, old mortar smears and white salt deposits each need a different treatment, so we work out what the marks are before cleaning.
Recognise your wall? Send us a photoMortar smears and splashes
Residue left by building or repair work. The brick type and mortar stain determine whether a specialist cleaner or suitable acid wash can help.
White salt marks
Efflorescence appears as water carries salts to the surface. Fresh deposits can weather away; persistent marks call for a closer look at the moisture source.
Grime, algae and mould
Dirt and growth on shaded walls, fences and paths. Cleaning should lift the deposit while preserving the brick face and surrounding joints.
Sandstone bases, steps and walls
Stone needs its own assessment. Soft or weathered sandstone should not be treated like robust clay brick.

Before
AfterWill cleaning damage my brick?
Unsuitable chemicals or pressure can damage brick faces and mortar, particularly on older walls. The surface condition, brick-specific guidance and a trial area help choose a suitable method. Some weathered surfaces or ingrained marks are better left than aggressively cleaned; we discuss the likely result before proceeding.
Why does the white powder keep coming back?
Efflorescence is salt carried to the surface by water. It can be temporary on new masonry and weather away, but repeated deposits may point to continuing moisture from drainage, leaks or another source. Cleaning the visible salt does not resolve that source, so the marks can return.
What if the wall has already been acid washed or pressure cleaned?
Tell us what was used, when it was done and how the surface changed. Earlier treatment can affect the next step. Fresh staining, roughened faces or damaged joints need assessment before more cleaning; another acid wash may make the problem worse.
