Leominster can claim its place in British commercial history by being the original hom of Ryeland Sheep, famed for its top-quality wool. With taxes on wool being vital to the crown, the wool from these sheep became known as 'Lemster Ore' and became a textile trade phenomenon in the middle ages.

Leominster is on the Black and White Trail which is a roughly forty mile circular tour of towns and villages where original 16th and 17th Century timber framed buildings are preserved and still enjoy daily use.

On a grander scale, Leominster Priory has been a place of gathering since the 7th century. There is a striking example of medieval justice here; imagine how the alleged witches must have felt when introduced to one of England’s last surviving ducking stools. There is also the Grade II listed timber framed market hall built by John Abel in 1633, Grange Court, which is still open to the public and gives a fascinating glimpse into the commerce of the day.

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 Leominster 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 Leominster or Herefordshire, you will get a quick response, highly competitive quotation and thorough cleaning from DJ Cooper. Our number is shown above, or if you prefer to send us an email, simply click in the header of any page.

TORC System

For the gentle removal of Carbon Sulphation, Brittle Paints, Limescale and more

The TORC System is a complete stone cleaning system designed and sold exclusively by Stonehealth. It is an evolution of the Jos system that we first introduced to the market over 20 years ago.

How does it work?

The TORC system creates a gentle swirling vortex using a mixture of low air pressure, little water and a safe inert fine granulate.

The Torc Head is modularised into separate components which results in an efficient and gentle swirling vortex using even less water and granulate than the original Jos system.

The removable nozzle cone can easily be changed so that a larger cone can be used to clean large areas such as ashlar or a smaller nozzle cone can be used for more intricate detail such as an elaborate capital or rustications.

Different abrasive media are used in the TORC system; calcite, dolomite and unil, which is a by product of coal, allow fine-tuning of the cleaning method through varying hardness, grain shape and abrasion. By choosing the most appropriate abrasive medium to suit the substrate material, skilled use of the TORC system ensures the cleanest possible finish with the minimum possible damage to your property.

All Stonehealth approved aggregate contains less than 1% quartz with no other form of crystalline silica. It is completely safe for the environment & non-toxic.
