Both Stonehealth and the above mentioned companies equipment is good apparently. Never used the systems. Big money though if you dont have the ongoing work or aren't planning to push for it.

I know, it's more whether the machine is capable of doing what we need.

Got a demo next week.

Demo seems like forever ago, but job has come through, completely forgot about it.

So, anything new or similar to the Torc?

May need a Doff as well, but will see nearer the time.

Wont be using Restorative Techniques, as enquired twice and phoned, but never got a reply, so if thats the level of service I can expect, they have lost me from the very start.

Why's that Kev?

Surprised that I've forgotten or surprised that I am opting for Torc?

Surprised they never got back to you….how did you contact them?

Is the job worth spending the money on a torc system? As stonehealth dont hire their machines.

Restorative techniques are a decent company. I have had a few emails back and forth enquiring about their systems and renting them. They didnt get "straight" back to me, but i heard from them within a couple of days. Decent rental rates and a LOT of info.

Never got back to me after email and phone contact.

It's a big job, and I had banked on buying a machine, however, may look at the rental option.

What's the job, don't have to give location. People may be able to advise on what system

Once we know the substrate we can advice

For instance we had a Torc demo to remove a product from bricks - the bricks were too soft and the Torc would have severely damaged them if we had continued.

Stonehealth and Jamie's company are both good - we only chose Stonehealth because they deliver next day - so far always :D

Removing effloressence.

We have tried various solutions, and nothing, but nothing touched it. We had a demo of the Torc on it and it worked well.

The purchase of a machine would be a big decision, and would have to push that machine in the future, taking our business off in another direction.

The Doff would be to make a large cladding clean a lot simpler (poor water supply and minimal clean up required after), however, would a hot box achieve the same result with low pressure?

The cladding clean isn't the issue, the efflorescence is.
