Advanced cleaning techniques for heritage, commercial and industrial surfaces
Not every surface can be restored using standard cleaning methods. Historic materials, aged coatings and heavily contaminated surfaces often require specialist abrasive cleaning techniques that provide effective results without compromising the original structure.
SPS offers professional abrasive cleaning solutions designed for delicate heritage restoration projects as well as demanding commercial and industrial applications.
Our process begins by understanding the condition of the material, the type of contamination and the required restoration outcome. The correct cleaning method is then selected to achieve controlled surface preparation while protecting the substrate underneath.
We work with a range of advanced cleaning systems suitable for sandstone, brickwork, concrete, timber, steel and architectural features.
Our abrasive cleaning systems include:
JOS Cleaning System
The JOS cleaning system is a gentle, low-pressure swirling cleaning method designed for sensitive heritage surfaces. It is commonly used for sandstone, masonry and historic facades where traditional abrasive methods may be too aggressive.
Ideal for:
- Heritage sandstone cleaning
- Pollution removal
- Historic building facades
- Delicate architectural details
Micro Abrasive Cleaning
Micro abrasive cleaning provides precise surface treatment using carefully controlled fine media. This technique allows detailed restoration work where accuracy and protection of the original material are essential.
Suitable for:
- Decorative stonework
- Detailed heritage elements
- Timber restoration
- Sensitive masonry cleaning
Ice Blasting
Ice blasting is a modern cleaning method used to remove coatings, contamination and surface build-up with minimal impact on surrounding areas. The process provides effective cleaning while reducing secondary waste compared with traditional methods.
Suitable for:
- Industrial cleaning
- Metal restoration
- Surface preparation
- Equipment and structural cleaning
Wet Sandblasting
Wet sandblasting combines abrasive cleaning power with water control to reduce dust and provide effective surface preparation. This method is commonly used where stronger cleaning action is required.
Suitable for:
- Rust removal
- Steel preparation
- Heavy coating removal
- Concrete restoration
By selecting the right abrasive cleaning method for each project, SPS achieves effective restoration results while maintaining the original character and condition of valuable surfaces.
