Brick Cleaning Tooting
Our Brick Cleaning team at Tooting takes immense pride to be able to help our customers in need. We understand how everyone wants a vintage look to their homes and we love to cater to our customers’ needs, which is why we always advise our customers to not try any hack themselves to clean the bricks as that will sure shot cause permanent damage to them.
Brick Cleaning may seem an easy job, however, needs great care as the process of cleaning bricks begins as early as when the bricks are laid down. The basic aim is to remove any access debris, or dust particles that have made home to the bricks. A lot of particles have also landed between bricks because of years of pollution and dreadful weather conditions. It is thus crucial to make sure that the bricks are kept clean.
Even though the process of brick cleaning is very crucial, the restoration is more important! The bricks may become eroded or chip off during the brick cleaning process and thus, it is important to restore them back to their original look before leaving them off with the customer. This whole process is done through pointing which guarantees the structural firmness of the house.
Pebbledash Removal Tooting
As the name suggests, Pebble Dash is a mixture of substances, including pebbles, along with lime, sand, gravel and shells. It is thus a very harsh substance and is used on the exterior walls of the house with the help of a shovel. Due to its very uneven nature, our Pebble Dash Removal team at Tooting always advises our customers to never try any ‘DIY’ hacks at home to remove it and leave it up to the professionals only.
The reason for this is simple. Our labourers are experienced for the process and have been doing this for quite a while. Our team uses manual tools instead of machines to remove the mixture and are very careful as to not ruin the walls or the bricks underneath. They know how to handle the mortar and the bricks well.
However, if due to human error, the bricks are eroded or chipped off, our team makes sure to restore them back into their original condition making sure to not harm the structural stability of the building. This is maintained through pointing which is deemed to be the most weak element in your home’s construction.
Paint Removal Tooting
The concept of Paint Removal is a little unknown even today. Many people come to us with queries concerning new paint and are confused as to how they can remove their old paint. Our Paint Removal team at Tooting understands the concerns well and tries their best to help our customers.
The paint can be removed in two ways. Firstly, if the paint is relevantly new, only water is needed to remove it as less particles are embedded into it. It comes off easily. However, if the paint is a little old, it has more dust particles embedded into it and is more engraved into the walls. For this reason, the removal of the older paint is a little more difficult and so our team uses chemicals such as phosphates to remove it.
The phosphates do their work and eventually help the paint come off. However, what they also do is, that they sometimes cause the bricks to chip off or erode from the corners. For this reason, the restoration of the bricks back to their original shape is very important and our team makes sure of that. We also make sure that the building maintains her structural stability for a long time to come.
