A great before and after from one of our recent paint removal projects.

Using our DOFF steam cleaning system, we carefully removed layers of modern masonry paint from the brickwork, allowing the original character of the building to be seen again. The system uses high-temperature steam at low pressure, making it ideal for cleaning historic masonry without causing damage.

Before and after from a recent paint removal project using our DOFF cleaning system.

The DOFF system uses superheated steam at high temperature and low pressure to soften and remove layers of paint without causing unnecessary damage to the brickwork beneath. Unlike aggressive blasting methods, it cleans gently while helping to preserve the original character of the masonry.

We made a video explaining how to think about okd homes when buying materials to fix them.

Side by side comparison from a test panel showing the difference our DOFF cleaning system can make.

Using high-temperature steam rather than force or abrasives, we’re able to carefully remove layers of modern plastic paint from historic brickwork while protecting the original fabric beneath.

Once these non-breathable coatings are removed, the brickwork can finally start to breathe again as intended.
Traditional buildings need traditional materials and methods.

Just finished off this beautiful Grade II listed former church conversion. Originally renovated into a home back in the 90s, the building had sadly been pointed using inappropriate modern materials over the years.

We’ve carefully restored the masonry using a traditional hot lime mortar, allowing the building to breathe as intended while protecting the historic stonework for years to come. Damaged stones were also replaced by a skilled local stonemason to match the original character of the church.

Let the past build the future.

Completed the final coat of h**p lime plaster on this beautiful barn conversion.

Like many historic buildings, it had previously been renovated using modern materials such as gypsum plaster and tanking systems, which can trap moisture within solid walls. We’ve been carefully removing those inappropriate materials and restoring the building using breathable h**p lime plaster more suited to a traditional structure.

Now the plastering is complete and ready for its final limewash finish. Great to see this old barn slowly being brought back to life using natural, breathable materials.

Another restoration job completed. We’ve just removed layers of modern plastic paint from this 1800s gate post using the DOFF cleaning system.

Unlike harsh blasting methods, the DOFF machine uses high-temperature steam to carefully lift paint and contaminants away without damaging the original stone beneath.

Traditional methods for a sustainable future.

Just finished the devil coat of plaster on this barn conversion

Originally built in the 1700s, this building had been covered in modern materials like gypsum — trapping moisture and working against the structure rather than with it. We’ve been carefully removing those inappropriate materials and bringing the building back to how it should breathe.

One more coat of h**p lime plaster to go, and this place will be well on its way to a healthy, sustainable finish

Finished off this insulating lime render

A brilliant way to improve comfort in older homes — helping keep things warm through the winter and cool during the summer months, all while allowing the building to breathe as it should.

Using natural materials, this system works with the building rather than against it, improving efficiency without trapping moisture.
