Heritage Cleaning Case Study of Grade II listed building

Hill House in Southwell, Nottinghamshire is a Grade II listed building that required Brooklands experience and gentle chemical free cleaning techniques to remove debris without damaging the delicate exterior stone and brick surfaces.

CLIENT: Hill House, previous boarding house for the Minster Grammar school

LOCATION: Southwell, Nottingham UK

CLASSIFICATION: Heritage property now a retirement home

Year: 2017

SCOPE OF WORKS:  Heritage Cleaning of bricks and stones to remove algae from the brickwork

SITE ISSUES:  High level access, delicate stone and brick surfaces

On this very enjoyable project Brooklands offered a chemical-free solution to removing algae from the brickwork to this lovely heritage building located in the Nottinghamshire countryside.

It was obvious that DOFF steam cleaning was the only suitable method to clean the brickwork on this building, Brooklands technicians used super-heated water at 150 degrees c with a pressure of only 70-BAR using a 40-degree nozzle to carefully remove the algae whilst causing no damage what so ever to the existing lime mortar joints.

The client was most pleased with the outcome of this project and the clean completely transformed the buildings appearance.
