Council Laser Cleaning Yorkshire
War Memorials. Public Buildings. Graffiti. Cleaned to Conservation Standard.
Specialist laser cleaning for councils, parish councils, housing associations and public authorities across Yorkshire. War memorial restoration, graffiti removal from public infrastructure, heritage asset maintenance and street furniture cleaning, all without chemicals, all compliant with conservation requirements.
The Public Sector's Specialist Cleaning Method
Public assets in Yorkshire, war memorials, civic buildings, bridges, street furniture, listed structures, public art, require a cleaning method that is both highly effective and appropriate for use on sensitive, publicly visible and legally protected structures. Chemical solvents risk damaging historic stonework. Pressure washing leaves ghost marks on porous surfaces and drives water into listed masonry. Abrasive methods are inappropriate for scheduled monuments and conservation area buildings.
Laser cleaning is approved by Historic England as the appropriate method for cleaning scheduled ancient monuments, Grade I and Grade II* listed buildings and conservation area structures. It is non-contact, non-abrasive and chemically inert. It removes graffiti, atmospheric soiling, biological growth and surface contamination without any risk to the substrate.
We have worked with parish councils, district councils, city councils, housing associations and heritage organisations across Yorkshire. We provide all necessary documentation, method statements, risk assessments, evidence of insurance, for public sector procurement processes. We can also provide conservation officer liaison and listed building consent support where required.
