Stone Cleaning for Whitby Buildings and Heritage
Whitby's dramatic stone architecture – the Abbey ruins, the Georgian townhouses of the old town, the fishermen's cottages climbing the East Cliff and the Victorian stone buildings of the harbour – is predominantly Jurassic sandstone and limestone. The combination of North Sea exposure, high rainfall and a damp harbour-side environment creates some of the most demanding stone soiling conditions in Yorkshire.
Biological growth is the dominant cleaning challenge in Whitby. The damp, salt-rich coastal air promotes rapid colonisation by algae, lichen and black biofilms on limestone and sandstone surfaces. Chemical biocides are inappropriate near the harbour environment. Laser stone cleaning vaporises biological material at source without any chemical discharge, making it the appropriate method for Whitby's ecologically sensitive coastal setting.
ThePrepWorks covers Whitby YO21 and YO22 postcodes, as well as Robin Hood's Bay, Runswick Bay, Staithes, Sandsend and the surrounding North Yorkshire coast.
Why Laser Stone Cleaning in Whitby
