Restore the original character of your property with professional, gentle cleaning from Welsh Stonework, based in Neath and working across South Wales. We clean and restore stonework and a wide range of exterior surfaces, always choosing the safest method for your building or hard landscaping.
Stonework Cleaning Services
We provide stone cleaning for a variety of properties and surfaces across Neath Port Talbot and the wider South Wales region.
Typical projects include:
-
House fronts and stone facades on terraced, semi‑detached and detached homes
-
Boundary and garden walls, pillars, steps and gateposts
-
Patios, pathways, driveways and seating areas
-
Barns, farm buildings and rural properties
-
Churches, chapels and older or character buildings
-
Commercial units, shops, offices and public buildings
If your stonework is looking tired, dirty or heavily stained, we can usually bring it back to a clean, natural finish without causing damage.
Graffiti Removal & Surface Cleaning
As well as natural stone, we also remove graffiti and staining from a range of exterior surfaces.
We can treat:
-
Stone walls and facades
-
Brickwork and blockwork
-
Rendered and painted surfaces
-
Shopfronts, roller shutters and commercial units
-
Boundary walls, bridges and other public structures
We use suitable cleaning agents and methods to break down spray paint and other markings, aiming to remove graffiti without excessively scouring or damaging the surface underneath. In many cases we can combine graffiti removal with a wider clean of the surrounding area so the repaired section blends in.
Cleaning Methods We Use
Different surfaces and levels of soiling need different approaches, so we select the most appropriate method for each job.
Our methods include:
-
Low‑pressure steam cleaning for delicate or older stonework where harsh washing could cause damage
-
Soft‑washing techniques to remove algae, moss and lichen without stripping the surface
-
Carefully controlled pressure washing for more robust surfaces such as driveways, paths and some types of stone
-
Specialist cleaning agents for heavy staining, atmospheric pollution, traffic film and graffiti
Before we begin, we will usually test a small, discreet area so you can see the likely result and we can confirm the safest approach for your property.
Common Problems We Treat
The South Wales climate can be tough on exterior surfaces, especially those that are shaded, near trees or close to busy roads.
Our cleaning services help with:
-
Green algae and moss on shaded walls, steps, patios and garden areas
-
Black staining, carbon deposits and general grime on roadside and town properties
-
Dirt build‑up on long‑neglected walls, paths and driveways
-
Rust marks from railings and fixings, light paint residue and other surface blemishes
-
Graffiti and marker pen on domestic and commercial properties
Where appropriate, we can also advise on combining cleaning with repointing or minor repairs to give a more complete and long‑lasting finish.
