DOFF cleaning in Manchester & Cheshire
BRICK POINTING, REPOINTING, RESTORATION & CLEANING PROJECTS BY UNIQUE POINTING LTD
Brick and stonework cleaning with DOFF technology
Maintaining brickwork, particularly on the sort of older, traditional Edwardian, Victorian and heritage buildings that are common across all of Greater Manchester and Cheshire, requires special care, equipment, and a professional, gentle hand to avoid damage and to ensure the full beauty and longevity is fully restored. The weather conditions here can quickly cause dirt, moss, and other organic substances to build up on brick surfaces, and in urban, high traffic areas brickwork can also become covered in other nasty grime and pollutants, so it’s vital to use the right cleaning techniques to preserve your property.
Unique Pointing offers expert DOFF cleaning in Manchester, using the industry-leading DOFF brick cleaning system. This method ensures your brickwork is restored to its original glory without causing damage or using harsh chemicals.
What is DOFF cleaning?
The DOFF cleaning system uses superheated water delivered at low pressure to clean brick surfaces. The water is heated to temperatures up to 150°C, which effectively removes organic matter such as moss, algae, and fungi, as well as dirt, grime, and graffiti. Unlike high-pressure methods, which can erode or damage delicate brickwork, DOFF is gentle, ensuring that your bricks remain intact while achieving a deep clean. We use the DOFF III which guarantees 0% surface damage to brick, stone, concrete, tiles (glazed and encaustic), wood and even terracotta.
This process is especially beneficial for heritage properties, where preserving the structure and integrity of the brick and sometimes tiling is of utmost importance. It can also be used on modern properties to revitalise tired or neglected exteriors, making it ideal for homeowners who want to refresh their home’s appearance without the risk of damage. The gentle nature of DOFF cleaning means it’s also suitable for removing stains and discolouration caused by air pollution or efflorescence, a common issue in Greater Manchester and Cheshire due to our notoriously wet climate.
Suitable for stonework cleaning in Manchester
In addition to brick cleaning, the DOFF cleaning system is highly effective for properties that feature stonework, which is also common across Greater Manchester and Cheshire. Many homes and heritage properties in the region are built with sandstone, granite, and other natural stone materials, which can accumulate dirt, biological growth, and pollutants over time in just the same way as brick. These surfaces require special care to ensure they remain intact and continue to look their best.
Stonework, particularly softer variants like sandstone, is prone to erosion and discolouration if cleaned using harsh methods such as high-pressure washing. Our DOFF cleaning provides the perfect solution, using superheated water to gently remove contaminants without damaging the stone’s surface. Whether your property has stone walls, facades, or decorative elements, DOFF stone cleaning can restore its original appearance while preserving the structure for years to come.
At Unique Pointing, we understand the delicate nature of stonework and have extensive experience in cleaning sandstone, granite, and other natural stone surfaces using our DOFF system. Our team is trained to handle a wide variety of materials, ensuring your property is cleaned with the utmost care and professionalism. Whether you’re a homeowner or a property manager responsible for maintaining historical stonework, we can help you achieve outstanding results.
Why choose DOFF cleaning?
When it comes to brick cleaning, many homeowners might consider traditional high-pressure washing or chemical treatments, however, these methods come with risks. High-pressure washing can be far too aggressive, leading to damage to both the mortar and brick surfaces, while chemical cleaners may leave residues that could affect the brick over time. If your property is old, this should be a significant concern.
DOFF cleaning, by contrast, is a safe and environmentally friendly option. It uses nothing but water and heat, making it an ideal choice for properties where maintaining the original appearance and structural integrity of the brick is crucial. For heritage properties or period homes, DOFF cleaning ensures the brickwork is cleaned delicately without causing any damage.
