Façade cleaning
Brick Cleaning in Dublin
Dirty brick and stained façades hold moisture and make a Dublin home look neglected. We clean brick and masonry with controlled chemistry and a gentle rinse — without chewing the surface.
The problem
When brick and façade cleaning helps
Built-up dirt holds moisture and hides defects. Brick cleaning restores curb appeal and makes underlying brick problems visible before they worsen.
- Black carbon staining or pollution on the upper façade
- Green algae or biological growth on north-facing walls
- Paint splashes, efflorescence or general grime
- A dull, uneven finish that makes the property look neglected

FAQ
Common questions
Will chemical cleaning damage my brick?
Not when done properly. Unlike sandblasting or aggressive jet washing, our process lifts dirt without chewing the face of the brick.
Is this the same as pressure washing?
No. Chemical cleaning treats the surface first, then uses controlled low-pressure rinsing rather than force alone.
Can you clean before repointing or restoration?
Yes. Cleaning first often gives a clearer picture of the brick condition and improves the final result.
