Heritage Cleaning in Horsforth, West Yorkshire

Horsforth is a popular residential suburb of Leeds with a village character, independent shops and stone-built homes. ThePrepWorks uses fibre laser technology for heritage cleaning that is non-contact, non-abrasive and chemical-free, making it the safest available method for listed buildings, war memorials and scheduled monuments.

Yorkshire sandstone, limestone and historic brickwork in Horsforth all respond well to laser cleaning. The non-contact process is safe on carved detail, inscriptions and delicate ornamental work that would be at risk from any abrasive method.
