Stone Restoration in London
London's natural stone deteriorates over time. Pollution, weathering and biological growth leave stonework stained, cracked and structurally weakened. LBC Exterior Cleaning specialises in stone restoration across London, using the correct method for every stone type. DOFF steam cleaning, targeted repair, repointing and sealing, done properly.
Your stonework is deteriorating. We can fix it.
London's Victorian, Georgian and Edwardian buildings are built to last. Without maintenance, decades of pollution, rainfall and biological growth take their toll. Stone becomes stained, mortar joints fail and structural problems develop. The longer it's left, the more it costs to fix.
Professional stone restoration reverses that damage. At LBC Exterior Cleaning, we assess every stone before we touch it. We select the correct method for the material and its condition. Using the wrong technique causes permanent damage. Getting it right from the start is what matters.
We are one of a small number of London contractors holding Stonehealth DOFF Approved status. Recommended by the manufacturer. You get expert care, not guesswork.

Every stone type needs a different approach. High-pressure washing on fragile limestone causes lasting damage. Our team has the training and equipment to handle all natural stone correctly.

Natural stone cleaning →Stone Repair & Repointing
Cracked, spalled or eroded stone repaired using matched materials and traditional techniques. Failing mortar joints replaced with lime mortar appropriate to your building's period. Structural integrity restored.
TORC cleaning service →Facade Restoration London
Full external facade restoration combining cleaning, repair, repointing and protective treatments in one programme. High-level access via our own cherry picker. No delays, no third-party contractors.
Historic building cleaning →DOFF Steam Cleaning
DOFF is a specialist superheated steam system by Stonehealth. It delivers steam at up to 150°C at very low pressure, cleaning without abrasion or chemical damage. As Stonehealth DOFF Approved contractors, we are certified to operate it on any stone type, including listed buildings.
About DOFF cleaning →TORC & IBIX Cleaning
For deposits that steam cannot shift, limescale, calcium and heavy carbon, we use TORC or IBIX. TORC uses a gentle swirling mix of air, water and fine media. IBIX is a wet abrasive system for the toughest staining. Both protect fragile stone where high-pressure washing would cause damage.
TORC cleaning service →Stone Sealing & Protection
Once restored, we apply impregnating sealers to protect your stone from future staining, weathering and biological regrowth. The right sealer lets the stone breathe while extending the life of the clean significantly.
Brick cleaning London →Every stone is different. We know the difference.
Using the wrong method on the wrong stone causes permanent damage. Before we touch anything, we assess the stone type, porosity, condition and contamination. Then we choose the technique that delivers the best result without risk to the surface.

Stone Restoration for London's Historic Properties
London's architectural heritage demands a different level of care. The wrong cleaning method causes irreversible damage to historic stone, particularly on Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian facades that have stood for over a century.
We work regularly on period properties, listed buildings and conservation area buildings. DOFF steam cleaning is widely specified for heritage work because it cleans effectively at low pressure, protecting fragile historic stonework.
