Common Objection

"Will pressure
washing damage
listed brickwork?"

It's the first question every conservation officer and property manager asks. The honest answer: it depends entirely on pressure, temperature, nozzle angle, and the masonry's age. Our crews are trained to the exact parameters set out in BS 8221-1:2012.
