If you’re a homeowner in the South West of England, you understand the unique charm and historical significance of Bath Stone buildings. Over time, however, this beautiful stone can suffer from weathering, pollution, and general wear and tear. At White Acre Stonemasonry, we specialise in stone cleaning and replacement, ensuring your property retains its timeless elegance and structural integrity.
Why Choose Bath Stone?
Bath Stone is renowned for its warm, honey-coloured hue and exceptional workability, making it a favourite among builders and architects since Roman times. However, its porous nature means it can accumulate dirt and grime more easily than other stones. Regular maintenance is essential to preserve its appearance and protect it from damage.
Expert Stone Cleaning Services
At White Acre Stonemasonry, we employ advanced stone cleaning techniques to restore the natural beauty of your Bath Stone. Our team is trained in the latest methods to ensure effective cleaning without compromising the stone's integrity.
ThermaTech Cleaning
Our ThermaTech cleaning service uses superheated water to gently remove dirt, algae, and biological matter from the stone's surface. This method is highly effective for deep cleaning while being gentle enough to prevent damage to the stone's structure.
Nebulous Water Spray Cleaning
For more delicate surfaces, we offer Nebulous Water Spray cleaning. This technique uses a fine mist of water to soften and remove pollutants from the stone without excessive water pressure. It’s ideal for historic and listed buildings where preserving the stone’s integrity is paramount.
Stone Replacement by Skilled Craftsmen
In cases where the stone is too damaged to be cleaned, our skilled stonemasons can replace it with new Bath Stone that matches the original as closely as possible. Our expertise ensures a seamless blend with the existing structure, maintaining the aesthetic and historical value of your property.
