Reviving West London’s Historic Brickwork: On-Site Sandblasting & Torc Cleaning
West London is home to some of the most stunning historic and period properties, many of which feature intricate brickwork that has stood the test of time. However, exposure to pollution, weathering, and past coatings can leave brick surfaces looking tired and deteriorated. At Pointing by Tony Wallace, we specialize in bringing life back to aged and damaged brickwork through expert restoration techniques, including sandblasting and Torc cleaning.
On-Site Brick Cleaning: The Power of Sandblasting & Torc Cleaning
Our team recently completed a project in West London where a beautiful Victorian façade had been obscured by years of grime, paint layers, and pollution. The homeowners wanted to restore the original charm of their brickwork without causing unnecessary damage.
Sandblasting: Precision Cleaning for Stubborn Deposits
Sandblasting is a highly effective technique for removing old paint, cement stains, and heavy pollutants from brick surfaces. This process involves blasting fine abrasive particles at high pressure, gently stripping away unwanted coatings while preserving the integrity of the brick. Our sandblasting approach ensures that the brickwork retains its natural character while achieving a clean, refreshed appearance.
Torc Cleaning: A Gentle Approach for Delicate Surfaces
For more sensitive or historic structures, we often utilize the Torc cleaning system. This advanced technique uses a low-pressure vortex of water, air, and a fine inert abrasive to remove surface contaminants without causing damage. Ideal for delicate brick and stonework, Torc cleaning helps to maintain the authenticity of period buildings while effectively removing carbon deposits, paint, and biological growth.
