Why the right method matters

Your Stone May Be Dirty. The Wrong Clean Can Make It Worse.

Years of pollution, weathering, algae, soot, paint and old coatings can leave stone and brickwork looking tired and neglected.

But traditional sandstone can be softer than it appears. Excessive pressure or unsuitable chemicals may erode the surface, force water into the masonry or create unnecessary runoff around your property.

Excessive Pressure

An aggressive method may remove part of the original surface along with the contamination.

Unwanted Moisture

High-pressure water can introduce moisture into masonry and create additional runoff or drying considerations.

Unsuitable Chemicals

The wrong chemical treatment can affect the finish and introduce residue, handling and containment requirements.

Unknown Conditions

Historic, fragile, repaired, painted or weathered surfaces may respond differently and require a test area.

Assessment, Not Assumption

We identify the surface, contamination and visible condition before recommending the most suitable cleaning approach.

The Titus cleaning approach

Controlled Cleaning. Less Mess. No High-Pressure Water or Harsh Chemical Cleaners.

Titus uses specialist dry ice or vacuum-blasting systems that can be adjusted for suitable surfaces and the contamination being removed.

CO₂
No cleaning water

Dry Ice Blasting

Dry ice pellets help loosen suitable surface contamination before sublimating back into gas, providing a controlled cleaning option without cleaning water or chemical cleaning products required by the process.

  • No cleaning water or chemical runoff
  • No spent blasting media left behind
  • Non-abrasive dry ice media
  • Adjustable for suitable stone and brick surfaces
  • Reduced moisture around the property
VAC
Captured at source

Vacuum Blasting

Vacuum blasting combines controlled, low-abrasion cleaning with integrated extraction, recovering the blasting media and removed material directly at the work surface.

  • Media and debris captured at source
  • Helps reduce airborne dust and secondary mess
  • No high-pressure water
  • Suitable for selected paints and coatings
  • Less disruption and clean-up afterwards

Every property is assessed first to confirm whether either process is suitable. A test area may be required, particularly on historic, fragile, repaired, painted or unknown surfaces. These systems are not offered for glass cleaning, and suspected hazardous coatings require specialist identification and appropriate controls.

A simple, low-risk first step

See What’s Possible Before You Commit

You do not need to know which cleaning method your property or site requires. We assess the surface first and explain your options clearly.

Step One

Book Your Free Assessment

Tell us about the property or site, its UK location and the scale of the work. Send photographs if available so we can review the enquiry before arranging a suitable assessment.

Step Two

We Assess and Test

We examine the surface, contamination, access and surrounding areas. Depending on location and project scope, we may review information remotely first. Where appropriate, we will complete a small test area.

Step Three

Receive Your Written Quote

We will explain the recommended method, expected outcome, scope, mobilisation requirements and price before you decide. No additional work is carried out without your approval.

Honest advice before work begins

We’ll Tell You When Cleaning Isn’t the Answer

Loose stone, failed pointing and structural defects may require a qualified stonemason before cleaning begins.

If our process is not suitable for your property, or cleaning alone will not solve the problem, we will tell you.

We will not recommend work your building does not need.

Frequently asked questions

Questions About Stone and Brick Cleaning?

Clear answers before you arrange an assessment.

Is the process safe for sandstone?

Sandstone varies considerably and can be softer or more fragile than it appears. Our approach is designed to minimise the risk of damage, but suitability depends on the stone, contamination, repairs and condition. We assess the surface first and may complete a test area.

Do you use water or chemicals?

Dry ice blasting uses no cleaning water and requires no harsh cleaning chemicals as part of the process. Vacuum blasting uses no high-pressure water and also requires no harsh process chemicals. The correct method remains subject to assessment.

Can you remove paint from stone or brick?

Potentially, where the coating and underlying masonry are suitable. Paint type, thickness, adhesion, previous repairs and surface condition affect the achievable result. A test area may be required before we recommend full removal.

Do you provide pointing or structural stone repairs?

This service focuses on specialist cleaning and surface restoration rather than structural masonry repairs. Loose stone, failed pointing or structural defects may need assessment and repair by a suitably qualified stonemason before cleaning.

How much does stone and brick cleaning cost?

Cost depends on the surface, contamination, area, access, containment requirements, location, mobilisation and the result confirmed during assessment or testing. We provide a written scope and quotation before you decide whether to proceed.

Do you cover stone and brick cleaning projects throughout the UK?

Yes, UK-wide coverage is available where the project scope and mobilisation are practical. Send the location, photographs and approximate area first, and we will explain the most appropriate next step for assessment.
