Hi Guys,

A client called me as they have had a new boliler installed and the wall that the vent comes from has been covered in a "soot like" substance fromn the oil burner boiler - I did a test with a mild detergent and with a good amount of scrubbing was coming off, but this is quite a large area, any other tips, for a quicker more effective clean, the wall is a yellow stippled render (not painted) and they do not want this damaged unneccesarily.

Any help much appreciated!

Ultrapac Renovate and steam will do it... low pressure on the steam though!

Hi

If it absolutely refuses to come off even with ultrapak you can use a latex paint.

It gets brushed on in the usual way but it sets clear, once dry you peel it off and it will bring the soot off with it, but it is very expensive so qualify with the client and charge accordingly should you need to go that far.

Regards

Martin
