Brickwork and stonework may need cleaning if they show signs of discoloration, grime buildup, algae, moss, or soot. Regular maintenance keeps these surfaces looking their best while preventing long-term damage. Cleaning is especially important for brick fireplaces, where soot and smoke residue can accumulate quickly, or for exterior facades exposed to pollution and weathering.
The cost of cleaning brick or stone depends on the area size, cleaning method, and level of grime:
The time required to clean brick or stone depends on the size and condition of the area:
DIY cleaning is possible for small areas, but professionals use specialized tools and cleaning agents to ensure a thorough and safe clean.
When done professionally, cleaning is safe and designed to protect the integrity of your surfaces.
Common methods include pressure washing, steam cleaning, or chemical treatments tailored to the material and condition of the brick or stone.

Nicolae was punctual, knowledgable and tidy! He tried to identify a leak (turns out the problem may be the washing machine rather than a problem with pipes). He helped rectify the washing machine. He tidied up after himself. Cannot fault him. I have already asked him to return to do other works in my home.

I am very pleased with the work done by JMR. The tradesmen were pleasant and happy to make any changes or additions to the original plans, with the approval of James (the boss). Nic did an amazing job of the plastering, and Tristan applied his many skills to the build. The estimate was reasonable, and was also the final price charged for the original plan. James charged a fair price for the extra work I requested, and was open to discussion on any aspect of the build. A job well done.

We engaged with Patrick at Rose Paving to improve a desperately unkempt pathway in our rear garden. From his initial attendance to quote and then throughout the pre-works period, the standard of communication and planning were top notch. We were extremely happy with the quoted final price, the works (as we had a few issues to deal with which they handled excellently) and the sign off - and would recommend Rose Paving to any one.

Kieran and his team did an excellent job renovating our unloved and overgrown back garden into a contemporary, stylish haven.

They did such a great job that we’re getting them back next year for another project! Highly recommend.

John at Quebuild went above and beyond for us on this job. He completed all the work in a timely manner and for a very reasonable price. He was super knowledgeable and extremely attentive to detail, making sure to leave a high quality finish in terms of decoration - and he came back afterwards to address a few small things that needed doing. He was also a pleasure to have around - and I would highly recommend him for any other work. 10/10.

Team turned up on time every day and worked solidly to get the job finished within the quoted timeframe. Would strongly recommend Root2Roof for the works they completed.
