Heritage Cleaning in Settle, North Yorkshire

Settle is a market town in Ribblesdale at the foot of the Yorkshire Dales, terminus of the famous Settle-Carlisle railway line. 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.

The heritage buildings of Settle accumulate decades of pollution soiling, biological growth and surface staining. Laser cleaning addresses all these conditions in a single treatment, restoring original appearance without risk to the historic fabric.
