Laser Cleaning in Whitby, North Yorkshire

Whitby is a historic fishing port and seaside town below the dramatic ruins of Whitby Abbey, one of Yorkshire's most iconic heritage sites. Whether you need rust removed from structural steel, graffiti cleaned from a heritage building, old coatings stripped before repainting or stonework restored to its original condition, PrepWorks comes to your site with all the equipment needed.

The 199 Steps leading to St Mary's Church and Whitby Abbey are among the most photographed heritage features in Yorkshire. The stone steps and surrounding churchyard require periodic specialist cleaning, removing biological growth and atmospheric soiling while preserving the ancient character of this extraordinary place.

Whitby's jet jewellery workshops and heritage-focused creative businesses share the town with the fishing industry and tourism. The town's layered history is visible in every street and our work supports the maintenance of this exceptional built environment.

Why PrepWorks in Whitby

The Right Choice for Whitby

Whitby Abbey and Scheduled Monuments
Whitby Abbey, one of England's most iconic ruins, sits above the town as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. We work with the strictest conservation protocols for significant heritage sites, and our laser technology is the only method appropriate for stone cleaning on scheduled monuments.
Marine Grade Corrosion on the Harbour
Whitby's working harbour and its associated infrastructure, fish quays, swing bridge, quayside buildings, face constant attack from salt water, marine growth and atmospheric corrosion. Laser cleaning addresses all of these without chemicals in a working harbour environment.

"The stonework on our guest house near the harbour had significant biological growth and some graffiti. PrepWorks dealt with both in a single visit, completely clean stone, no damage, no mess. Highly recommend."
