Brick Cleaning Sidcup
Something that most people do not know is the concept of Brick Cleaning. Our Brick Cleaning Team at Sidcup is well aware of the ways and the dos and don’ts of the process, which is why we always advise our customers to not try doing any such thing as per the DIYs and leave it to the professionals.
Contrary to popular belief, the process of brick cleaning should begin right when the bricks are laid down. This is to remove the excess debris that may deteriorate the life of the bricks. Furthermore, the bricks tend to erode and chp off over time due to the drastic weather conditions and the terrible pollution that hovers the air all year round.
To prevent permanent damage, and terrible erosion of the bricks; our team makes sure to restore the bricks back to health and good condition. Our team also makes sure to help maintain the pointing; the mortar which determines the health of the building and the structural stability of your home.
Pebble dash removal Sidcup
Pebble Dash as the name suggests is a mixture which consists of pebbles, lime, sand and even shells. This mortar is used on the exterior of the walls and gives a very uneven look because of the fact that it is thrown onto the outer walls with the help of a shovel. It is because of this feature, that our Pebble Dash Removal team at Sidcup advises our customers to only ask for professional help and not try the DIY hacks themselves on their homes.
The pebble dash removal process is quite tricky as only manual labour is needed to use manual tools. We generally do not use any machines. Since, we have manual labour working on the walls who literally pluck out the roughcast, there is always a higher chance of the deterioration of the bricks and the walls. The procedure must be done very carefully otherwise, all the outer walls are ruined and succumb to permanent damage.
Since, humans are prone to error and even though we try our best; sometimes our labourers do make mistakes and go harsh on your wall. For this reason, we make sure to restore the bricks back to their original condition. Furthermore, we use pointing that aids to the structural stability and the health of the building and the construction of its various walls.
Paint Removal Sidcup
People have become quite progressive now. We say this as we have a lot of people coming to us in order to inquire whether we can remove their old paint and add some new one! Our Paint Removal team at Sidcup is highly experienced in this regard and so we are known for our work as well.
The paint removal process is tedious. There are two ways in which the paint can be removed. Firstly, if the paint is relatively new we start to dilute it with water. This way the major, stubborn chunks can come off and sometimes, the paint also comes off since it is new. However, if the paint is old and is not coming off with water, we may use harsh chemicals such as phosphates to remove the old paint.
The use of hatch chemicals and even the pressure of water can easily cause the bricks to chip of or erode from the corners. For this reason, our team makes sure to restore the bricks in good conditions to revive their health. We also make sure to use pointing which is an integral part in the structural stability in your home’s construction.
