Brick cleaning to restore tired or stained brickwork. Remove paint, organic growth, weathering stains, and general grime. Multiple methods depending on brick type and what needs removing. Bring bricks back to life without damaging them.
Brickwork weathers, stains, grows algae, and sometimes gets painted (then you regret it). Cleaning bricks properly requires matching the cleaning method to the brick type and contamination. Get it wrong and you damage bricks permanently.
We assess your brickwork first - identifying brick type, mortar condition, and the best cleaning approach. Soft historic bricks need gentle methods. Modern engineering bricks can handle more aggressive cleaning. We adapt accordingly.

Good to Know
Some staining is impossible to remove completely without damaging bricks. We aim for significant improvement rather than perfection. Brick cleaning often reveals underlying problems - damaged bricks, poor pointing, or structural issues. We'll point these out. Best done in dry weather - wet bricks don't show results properly and cleaning takes longer to dry.
Frequently Asked Questions about Brick cleaning in Dawlish
What brick cleaning methods do you use?
Depends on the brick type and what we're removing. Options include chemical cleaning, pressure washing, DOFF steam cleaning, and abrasive methods. We assess bricks first - wrong methods can damage softer bricks permanently.
Can you remove paint from bricks?
Usually yes, though it's time-consuming. We use chemical strippers followed by gentle cleaning methods. Complete removal isn't always possible without damaging bricks, especially on soft or old brickwork. We'll be honest about what's achievable.
How much does brick cleaning cost?
Varies hugely depending on area size, brick condition, what we're removing, and access. We need to see the job to quote accurately. Small areas might be a few hundred pounds, large house facades considerably more.
Will cleaning damage my bricks?
Not if done correctly. We match cleaning method to brick type. High pressure washing can damage soft bricks - we use lower pressures or alternative methods for delicate brickwork. Protecting bricks is priority one.
