Our Managed Projects, Done by Trusted Contractors
A historic residential building in central London needed a safe, effective cleaning solution for its entrance stairs, which were covered in dirt, algae, and stains. Due to the delicate stone and conservation regulations, traditional pressure washing was not an option.
SOLUTION
Darcy Residential used the DOFF steam cleaning system, which applies high temperature water at low pressure to remove contaminants without damaging the stone. The process was completed in a single day with minimal disruption.
