STONE CLEANING

.

TORC SYSTEM
 We are highly experienced in various types of masonry cleaning using the latest equipment such as TORC system and other products from Stonehealth.
The TORC system gently removes paints, dirt, carbon, bitumen, lime scale, graffiti and biological matter, from any building fabric such as brick, stone, wood, concrete, plaster etc, whilst minimising damaging to the original surface.
The TORC can also be used to remove oxidation and sulphates from metals such as bronze, brass and copper.


For the gentle removal of flexible paint and  biological growth such as algae and moss we use a super heated steam cleaning method. The extremely high temperature helps to kill off remaining spores. There is then no need to use a chemical biocide during the removal process or as a protection against further biological activity.

The Muckle Cross, Elgin.

Picture
​The Muckle Cross in the centre of Elgin, made from the local Clashach sandstone had been suffering from the effects of carbon sulphation which was damaging the face of the stone.
Contracting to local company Darroch and Allan we were asked to carry out the cleaning using our TORC system.
