Brick Cleaning in Kingston upon Thames
Kingston brickwork picks up town-centre pollution and, on the riverside and Canbury streets, organic staining from damp and overhanging trees. Older stock brick near the ground also shows salt bloom where damp has been wicking up - cleaning that off without addressing the damp source only buys you a season.
Local property types
Brick Cleaning for Kingston upon Thames homes
Victorian villas around Kingston Hill and Coombe, Edwardian semis in Norbiton, and town-centre period terraces in a mix of stock and red brick.
We clean with steam and, where staining is stubborn, a poultice that draws it out rather than scouring it off. We will also tell you when cleaning is not the answer - if the real issue is a failed downpipe or a blocked gully, fixing that first is cheaper and lasts longer.
