Since 1989, customers have relied on DJ Cooper to clean a wide range of surfaces using a variety of methods.

This experience enables us to choose the most effective and gentle method needed to complete any given project cost effectively, with no damage to the substrate.

From  churches and listed buildings through to bus stops and private houses, contaminants have been removed from surfaces, some of which were extremely delicate, with perfect results and no damage.

As a small firm, you know that when you contact us, you will be speaking directly to someone with broad knowledge of old buildings and many years of experience in the construction industry.

Torc Cleaning of Stone Capitals - Cleaning in Progress

This sequence of three images shows these weathered stone capitals before (showing carbon tarnish), during Torc cleaning, and after Torc cleaning.

They arrived in fairly poor condition, being heavily tarnished with carbon from airborne pollution over many years. The surfaces were also fairly fragile, so any aggressive cleaning techniques were out of the question.

The Torc system was chosen for this job as it cleans thoroughly yet gently, using a combination of air pressure, a little water and some granulate abrasives. The key to success is in choosing the right abrasive medium for the type of stone in question, from the options of calcite, dolomite and util.

As shown in the final (after image) the carbon has been effectively removed while retaining the patina of the stone.
