We work on residential, commercial, industrial, and heritage buildings, using DOFF steam cleaning to gently lift and remove paint while preserving the integrity of the underlying material.

Our Paint Removal Methods

✔ DOFF Steam Cleaning – A low-pressure, high-temperature steam system that safely removes paint and coatings without causing damage to delicate surfaces. Ideal for historic and listed buildings.
✔ Test Patches & Surface Assessments – Before undertaking full-scale paint removal, we conduct test patches to determine the most effective method for your specific surface, ensuring optimal results with minimal risk.
✔ Paint Softener Application – We use eco-friendly, specialist paint softeners to break down multiple layers of paint before gently removing them with DOFF steam or other suitable methods.
✔ Chemical Paint Stripping – When necessary, we apply biodegradable and surface-safe stripping solutions to target stubborn paint layers, ensuring thorough removal without compromising the structure.
✔ Abrasive Techniques – For tougher coatings, we can use carefully controlled abrasive techniques to ensure effective removal while preserving the underlying surface.

What is DOFF Steam Cleaning?

DOFF steam cleaning is an advanced high-temperature, low-pressure cleaning system that effectively removes paint, dirt, biological growth, and pollution stains without damaging the surface. It uses superheated steam (150°C) and gentle pressure to break down and lift unwanted coatings without saturating the substrate with water.

Unlike chemical strippers, abrasive blasting, or high-pressure washing, the DOFF system does not damage delicate brick, stone, or masonry surfaces. It is also approved by heritage conservation organizations, making it the go-to solution for listed and historic buildings. see DOFF Steam Cleaning for more info
