Broad professional knowledge of stonemasonry and building conservation in general
which is the ideal background for stone cleaning experts.
Cleaning stone, brick, concrete or roofs is not simply about getting out the pressure washer and hoping for the best. Materials like sandstone can be easily damaged if you don’t use the right process.

We’re an established company with a great reputation and we’re focused on delivering high-quality work to both homeowners and businesses in the South of Scotland.
You’ll get a free assessment of the work that needs to be undertaken and a competitive, no-obligation quote for our services. Our teams are polite and get on with the work, causing you minimum disruption. We use the right tools for the job and, simply put, we know our stuff.
In addition to our stone, brick and concrete cleaning service, we run one of the leading repair and building teams through our sister company Edinburgh and Lothians Stonemasons Ltd.
Those services are delivered by time-served and fully qualified stonemasons who are experts at stone and brick replacement or repair, stone and brick lime pointing, concrete weathering and crack repair, chimney repairs and rebuilding.
We bring all this amazing experience to our Specialist Blast Cleaning Services Ltd. That means you can always be confident you are getting an expert service that is fit for purpose.
When we say we know our stuff, we really mean it.
Things We Bring To The Table That Other Cleaning Services Don’t
The ability to repair any damaged masonry
which is sometimes hidden behind dirt, algae, moss and old paintwork.
We carry out health assessments on your building, wall or structure after every cleaning project
then we pass this onto you free of charge with no obligation to have further work carried out by our team.
The Right Cleaning for the Right Surface
Lothian is full of classic buildings and structures, and each has its challenges when it comes to cleaning. Whether we’re working on a listed building in the centre of Edinburgh or a new structure in Livingston, our team will always use the appropriate cleaning approach.
Doff Steam Cleaning
If you need something that is environmentally sound, where the only waste product is water, this system is perfect. It’s a soft but highly effective cleaning approach that is kind to your walls and areas that are not suitable for pressure washing. It’s also fantastic at removing problems like algae and lichen.
Wet Blasting
This is another eco-friendly option that uses a little more power with high-pressure water. It can also be combined with soda ash and glass grit for staining and carbide grit for more aggressive removal of problem areas.
Dry Sand and Other Media Blasting
This is much more aggressive and only employed by our expert Lothian team in specific circumstances, using as it does compressed air combined with media such as sand and glass grit. This might be appropriate, for example, to remove graffiti or paint from walls depending on the surface.
High-Pressure Water Washing
If you have an issue with algae build-up or staining, particularly in areas like driveways and patios, this is a great option. It’s often used after applying a chemical cleaning agent to the surface being treated.
Chemical Cleaning
This can range from simple detergent-type chemicals to powerful acid-based stain removers and degreasers for the most ingrained problems. For example, we can use various approved chemicals to soften up paint and graffiti before removal.
