Stonework looking tired, stained or damaged?
Specialist TORC cleaning removes carbon staining, paint, algae and years of buildup without damaging delicate stonework — ideal for heritage, listed and high-value buildings.
The problem most people face…
If you’re here, chances are you’ve already run into one of these issues:
- The stonework is blackened, stained or patchy, making the whole building look neglected
- You’ve been told it needs cleaning — but you’re worried about damaging it
- Previous cleaning attempts have been too aggressive or left uneven results
- You’re dealing with a listed or sensitive building, where the wrong method could cause serious issues
- You’ve had quotes from contractors who clearly don’t specialise in stone
- You need it done properly — because tenants, clients or stakeholders are watching
The reality is:
Most exterior cleaning methods are too harsh for stone.
And once damage is done… it’s expensive (and sometimes impossible) to reverse.
A safer, more controlled way to clean stone
TORC cleaning is a specialist, low-pressure system designed specifically for delicate surfaces.
Instead of blasting the surface, it uses a gentle swirling mix of air, water and fine media to carefully lift contamination.
What this means for you:
- No aggressive damage to the stone surface
- Controlled, even cleaning — no patchy finishes
- Suitable for heritage, listed and high-value buildings
- Removes staining while preserving the character of the material
