Brick Cleaning in Twickenham
Twickenham splits neatly: the properties on and around the Chertsey Road and Heath Road carry heavy traffic film, while the streets nearer the river at St Margarets and Strawberry Hill get persistent algae and moss because of the damp air and the tree cover. We treat those two differently rather than running the same wash over both.
Local property types
Brick Cleaning for Twickenham homes
Bay-fronted Edwardian semis in red facing brick, Victorian stock brick terraces off Heath Road, and a good number of houses with ornate red rubber detailing over windows that cannot take any abrasion at all.
Gentle methods, masked windows and paintwork, water contained and managed - and honest advice about what cleaning will and will not achieve. Some staining, particularly old iron run-off from railings and brackets, will lighten rather than disappear, and we say so before you commit.
