DJ Cooper Building Conservation in & around Chard, Somerset

Chard is the highest town in Somerset, at 500 feet above sea level, and the most southerly, lying very close to the Devon border. A hill fort lies to the south of the town, which was described in the Domesday Book as "Ceidre", meaning The Royal Town of Cerdic. Cerdic was the 5th Century Celt who founded the Kingdom of Wessex. Many believe that Cerdic was the character upon whom King Arthur was based, thus making Chard the original Camelot. Since then Chard has experienced changes of fortune, such as almost completely burning down, to be rebuilt in the 16th century. At that time, the town like many others in Somerset was prospering from the textile industry, which was helped by being on the main London to Exeter route, facilitating trade both within England and in countries reached by sea.

With historic buildings in and around the town, some national monuments, some still in use, owned privately or by the local council, we often find ourselves called on in the Chard area to ensure that when the grime from traffic, bird fouling, general day to day soiling or even graffiti is removed from a treasured building, there is no damage to the often delicate stonework beneath.

From removal of old paint for a domestic redecoration project, or the intricate cleaning of stone work in a cathedral using the poultice method, you will find that wherever you are in Chard or Somerset, you will get a quick response, highly competitive quotation and thorough cleaning from DJ Cooper.

Pressure Washing Process
For a wide range of cleaning tasks involving organic material.

Pressure washing can be used for a diverse range of activities. As well as improving the cosmetic appearance of a building or area by keeping it clean, pressure washing can alleviate slip hazards caused by algae, moss and other hazards on public walkways or pavements.

Many of our customers choose pressure washing for their walkway & pavement cleaning, brick & concrete cleaning, render cleaning, fa&csedilla;ade & cladding cleaning, grafitti & gum removal, hard surface cleaning including guano, tank & vessel cleaning, forecourt & car park cleaning.

High pressure washing is a very versatile process that can also be used for the removal of moss, algae, vegetation, spills, fat & grease, smoke damage & decontamination work.
