Very old listed brick walls surrounding the new Arts Centre in doddington park estates needed sympathetic cleaning with some odd painted sections Alberny completed this project on behalf of stonewood builders. Listed buildings approved with the adjustable pressure & temp settings makes it a very useful bit of kit for restoration works. The super high temp also kills the lichen spores ert nulling the need for using chemical biocides

Internal damp issues from the wrong type of paint on brick work . Bricks were too soft for blast cleaning and the fancy profile wouldn’t let any type of chemical peel away work either. The DOFF system was the only viable option With variable pressures allowed on the system no damage is caused when removing the paint to the substrates. Leaving brickwork details in the best possible condition.

Alberny has completed hundreds of projects over the south west cleaning masonry such as hamstone, blue lias, portland stone etc. Slate and tiled roofs. Such surfaces are open to the elements and, therefore, suffer from moss and fungi build-up, as well as other biological matter.

Unlike pressure washing, the Doff system runs at 150 degrees, killing all the spores, therefore no need for biological chemicals.

Lead paint removal using the DOFF system is a listed building approved method, because no dust is involved it conforms to CLAW regulations. We have used this system all over the south west, including a recent project on the Guild Hall in Barnstaple for pearce construction. This also allows any lime paint underneath to remain which is required for the Conservation officers.
