How DOFF Cleaning Works
Our proven four-step process delivers outstanding cleaning results while preserving the integrity of your building's surfaces.
Site Survey
Our experts visit your property to assess the surfaces, identify contaminants, and recommend the best DOFF cleaning approach. All surveys are completely free.
Surface Preparation
We protect surrounding areas, set up specialist DOFF equipment, and carry out any necessary masking or covering to ensure a clean, safe operation.
DOFF Steam Cleaning
Superheated steam at up to 150°C is applied at low pressure, dissolving dirt, killing biological growth, and removing paint and pollutants without surface damage.
Inspection & Finish
We inspect every cleaned area, touch up any spots that need extra attention, and leave your building looking restored and revitalised.
The Science Behind DOFF
The DOFF system heats water to superheated temperatures — reaching up to 150°C — and delivers it at precisely controlled low pressure. This combination is the key to its effectiveness and safety.
At these temperatures, contaminants like paint, graffiti, oils, biological growth, and carbon deposits are rapidly broken down and lifted from the surface. Unlike high-pressure water jetting, the low pressure prevents any damage to delicate stone, mortar, or historic substrates.
What We Clean With DOFF
DOFF steam cleaning is versatile enough for virtually any building type or surface material.
Historic & Heritage Buildings
DOFF is the approved cleaning method for Grade I and II listed buildings and scheduled ancient monuments. Our gentle steam process preserves historic fabric while achieving exceptional results.
Commercial Building Facades
Restore your commercial property's kerb appeal and maintain a professional appearance. DOFF cleaning removes decades of pollution, carbon deposits, and staining from office blocks, retail premises, and industrial buildings.
Natural Stone & Masonry
From limestone and sandstone to granite and marble, our DOFF specialists clean all types of natural stone with care and precision. We remove biological growth, staining, and pollutants without etching or erosion.
Brick & Mortar Cleaning
DOFF steam effectively cleans red brick, engineering brick, and pointing without causing damage to the mortar joints. It removes efflorescence, salt deposits, biological staining, and general grime.
