The Problem

Why Standard Pressure Washing Won’t Cut It

Many exterior cleaning companies in Chorlton rely on high-pressure washers for every job. While this might work for patios and driveways, it’s a disaster for brickwork.

Excessive pressure can:

Our methodology ensures deep cleaning without compromise, using temperature-controlled steam, pH-neutral solutions, and precision-calibrated pressure settings.

We’re not trying to “sell” you an idea — we simply do what we say we’ll do. On time, with the right tools and the right team. No upselling, no overpromising, no shortcuts.

We’ve built our reputation on being reliable, clear, and easy to deal with — and we apply that approach to every job, big or small.

Advanced Techniques, Unmatched Expertise

Brickwork cleaning is as much about aesthetics as it is about longevity. Over-cleaning can cause irreversible damage, while under-cleaning leaves residue and structural vulnerabilities. That’s why we employ an arsenal of advanced methods, including:

TORC and DOFF Cleaning Systems – Highly specialised, low-pressure vortex and steam-based techniques designed for sensitive masonry.
JOS Cleaning Technology – A controlled wet-abrasive system ideal for historic and delicate surfaces.
Poultice Cleaning – Targeted removal of stubborn stains, including carbon deposits and paint, without aggressive blasting.
Biocide Pre-Treatment – Eliminates biological growth (lichen, algae, and moss) at the root, preventing rapid regrowth.
Super-Heated Water Cleaning – Dislodges deep-seated contaminants without excessive water saturation, preserving mortar integrity.
Each project is assessed individually — there’s no “one-size-fits-all” solution at our brick cleaning company in Chorlton.

Equipment We Use for Brick Cleaning

We deploy industry-leading tools, tested over hundreds of projects across Greater Manchester:

DOFF Integra System by Stonehealth Ltd

A superheated water system capable of reaching temperatures up to 150°C at the nozzle end. It’s used for sensitive applications, especially on heritage brickwork in and around the Chorltonville conservation area. The DOFF system operates with minimal water volume, making it suitable for properties with close boundary walls or limited drainage.

ThermaTech by Restorative Techniques

Ideal for projects requiring nuanced temperature control. The ThermaTech system allows for rapid variation between 30°C and 150°C, making it ideal for multi-surface properties where lime mortar, brick, and stone coexist. It’s particularly effective on Edwardian properties around Wilbraham Road.

Falch T3 High-Pressure Washer

For robust brickwork and newer developments, we use the Falch T3, which offers adjustable pressure levels up to 500 bar. The T3 is equipped with a pulse-jet system that breaks surface tension without compromising the substrate. Its onboard water filtration system ensures consistency in mineral content, which is crucial in avoiding efflorescence during drying.

Tornado ACS by Systeco

This negative-pressure micro-abrasive system works without water or chemicals and is used for properties with minimal access or heritage restrictions. The Tornado is particularly effective for fine detail work — such as around engraved brick lintels or decorative cornices — commonly found in Chorlton’s historic semi-detached homes.

Makita VC4210L Vacuum Extraction

All dry-cleaning procedures are paired with H-class compliant extraction systems like the Makita VC4210L. This ensures dust and particulates are contained during and after the cleaning process, especially in properties near traffic-heavy zones like Manchester Road.

Planning & Compliance

Chorlton Planning & Compliance Interface

For buildings listed on the Chorlton Conservation Register, additional planning permissions may be required before brick cleaning can commence. Exterior Cleaning Pros liaises directly with Manchester City Council’s Planning & Conservation Department, submitting:

We ensure all cleaning activities align with Section 72(1) of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990, especially where chemical-free, thermal-only cleaning is mandated for heritage façades.

All our staff is IPAF- and PASMA-certified, with operatives qualified under the CSCS Heritage Gold Card Scheme where applicable.

Before & After: Real Transformations In Chorlton

Process

Different Bricks, Different Methods

From clay-based red stock bricks to sand-faced engineering bricks, the porosity, bond strength, and mineral composition vary widely. At Exterior Cleaning Pros, our technicians are trained to identify subtle differences in brickwork and adjust procedures accordingly.

Victorian and Edwardian Residences (1890–1915)

Found predominantly on streets such as Keppel Road and Clarendon Road. These properties often feature soft red clay bricks with high absorbency, requiring low-pressure/high-heat systems like DOFF to avoid spalling or surface erosion.

Post-War Semi-Detached Brick Homes

Typically constructed with harder-faced engineering bricks. Compatible with medium-pressure water systems and occasional use of pH-neutral detergents.

Contemporary Apartment Blocks

Often feature reconstituted stone panels with brick slip facades. These require test patching with TORC systems to avoid delamination or adhesive breakdown.

Heritage Sites and Listed Buildings

Especially around Chorlton Green and parts of Edge Lane. Cleaning here must adhere to Historic England guidelines, and our surveys are cross-verified with local planning controls.

FAQ

Brick Cleaning FAQ's

Will this damage my mortar?

No. Damage is caused by high pressure lances held too close. My method uses chemicals to do the work, followed by a rinse that is lower pressure than most domestic pressure washers. I inspect every joint before starting.

Can you clean a listed building?

Yes. I have worked on Grade II listed properties in, Manchester, Cheshire, Knutsford and the surrounding villages. I use the gentlest effective method and I provide method statements and COSHH sheets for conservation officers when required.

Will the black soot come back?

Carbon staining is caused by the environment. After a full clean the brick will stay clear for many years. I can apply a breathable water repellent on suitable brickwork which helps to slow future soiling without trapping moisture.

Can you remove paint from brick?

In many cases, yes. I use a different poultice system for paint. I will test it first to check the brick underneath is sound. I will be honest about the expected result before you commit.

Is the chemical safe for my garden?

Yes, when applied by a qualified person. I am certified to use these products. We protect all planting, we contain the rinse water, and we neutralise the area fully after the clean.
