Heritage Cleaning in Skipton, North Yorkshire

Skipton is the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales and home to a well-preserved medieval castle, the busiest market town in the Dales area. 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.

Biological growth on historic masonry in Skipton causes ongoing damage through root action and moisture retention. Laser cleaning kills and removes biological material completely in one treatment, with no chemical residue left to cause ongoing issues.
