York's Heritage Capital

Laser Cleaning Built for York's Unique Heritage

York is one of the most historically significant cities in the world. From Roman Eboracum to Viking Jorvik, from medieval Shambles to the magnificent Gothic splendour of York Minster this city is built on two thousand years of layered history. Its buildings, walls and structures are irreplaceable, and the cleaning methods used on them must match that significance.

PrepWorks brings precision laser cleaning to York the only technology that can remove pollution, biological growth, graffiti and surface soiling from ancient stonework without any abrasion, chemicals or water damage. Laser cleaning is approved by Historic England and conservation authorities specifically because it causes zero damage to the substrate beneath.

York's dominant building material is magnesian limestone and millstone grit highly porous stones that are extremely vulnerable to pressure washing, chemical attack and abrasive cleaning. Even mild acid treatments, commonly used in other cities, can dissolve the surface of York's limestone. Laser cleaning is entirely dry and chemical-free, making it the only truly appropriate method for the city's heritage structures.

Beyond heritage, York has a growing commercial and industrial base, residential property market and public sector that all benefit from laser cleaning services from graffiti removal on commercial properties to rust treatment on infrastructure and coating removal ahead of refurbishment projects. PrepWorks serves all of these clients across York and the wider North Yorkshire area.

"We needed graffiti removed from a listed building in the York city centre conservation area a matter of urgency given the foot traffic. PrepWorks attended the next morning and the stonework was completely clean by noon. No marks, no chemicals near the old fabric of the building. Exactly what was needed."
