DJ Cooper Building Conservation for Wincanton, Somerset

Wincanton, in South Somerset, is uniquely twinned with a fictional town: Ankh-Morpork, a city state in Terry Pratchett’s “Discworld”, that magical place where if a librarian can be an orang utang with a single word vocabulary, virtually anything can happen. The world of magic though is strictly fictitious here and local dairy farmers havae to deal with the everyday realities of managing cattle just like anywhere else. Just like anywhere else, cattle lameness is an ever present threat to yield, so a number of farmers in Wincanton rely on NJB Hoofcare for:

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 Wincanton 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 Wincanton or Somerset, you will get a quick response, highly competitive quotation and thorough cleaning from DJ Cooper.

Basement Paint Removal by Sandblasting

In many cases, sandblasting, or grit blasting can be the most effective means of removing old paint, even multiuple layers of different paint types can be effectively and safely removed in this way, making it ideal for some older buildings that have been repeatedly painted over the years.

The key is in choosing the most appropriate grit type, particle size and application pressure, so if you have a thorny paint removal task in prospect, give us a call or click in the header of any page to send an email to arrange an appraisal visit.
