Brick Cleaning
Status Check:
Hello Chris,
Thanks for the info. I think it's beyond my remit at the moment. Just out of interest what would you charge just to clean the front facade?
Smudger:
Picture would be good
Are they Suffolk yellows? Or a red brick ?
Is it organic matter your removing or black carbon from traffic ?
Hot is defo required but if you have a pic I can give you some idea of what you need

Nice house
I suggest you hire yourself a hot pressure washer one that can get to 120 degrees - use a 15 degree nozzle - this will clean the majority of the red brick no problem at all. for the darker areas and the sandstone with carborization I use Tensid heavy duty restoration chemical use as directed then steam and you'll have lovely brickwork.
I can't find my before and afters of some of our more challenging work but below is a oiccy of ivy removal just using steam
use this technique and you won't damage the bricks or mortar

Nice job looks very good customer must be delighted with that ,out of intrest how long did it take ?
Smudger:
Over the moon with it
we had a landscape company cut it down ( I hate doing that part of the job ) as it was very thick
the actual cleaning as you see it there was 5 hours for a single man - we used a small spider lift for the job - the ivy was also around the corner top to bottom for about 6 feet
