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.

Historic structures in Howden require cleaning methods that do not accelerate decay or leave chemical residues in porous stone. Laser cleaning is dry, non-abrasive and leaves no contamination in the masonry fabric.
