The benefits of steam cleaning for brick & stone
Steam cleaning is one of the most sensitive and effective methods for cleaning building façades. We use super-heated water vapour to gently lift away dirt, grime, and pollutants and preserve the integrity of your building materials. This is particularly effective for removing staining caused by traffic pollution, salts, and biological growth, such as moss and algae.
Before beginning any project, we’ll conduct a full site assessment to understand your building’s condition, surface type, and cleaning requirements. Our pre-project trials ensure the most effective cleaning solution is applied, giving you complete peace of mind.
Specialist steam cleaning for historic & commercial buildings
We specialise in conservation-based steam cleaning for period, historic, and listed properties and commercial steam cleaning for large-scale projects. So whether your building requires gentle brickwork cleaning or a full façade restoration, our expertise ensures the best results.
Where required, we work within listed building and conservation guidelines to provide a restoration solution that maintains the building’s character while removing years of accumulated grime. Our team also utilises advanced access methods, including scaffolding, abseiling, and MEWPs, to safely clean hard-to-reach areas.

Customer service is paramount to Building Transformation and they invested vast amounts of time in providing me with a programme to facilitate what was a very complex and time-specific programme of work for the site.

A 200,000 sq. ft., four-storey leisure venue in the heart of Nottingham city centre surrounded by major traffic routes needed work to be done overnight. The Building Transformation staff were flexible and able to work around dynamic operational issues completing the project within three weeks.

Broadgate Estates Ltd.
I am using Building Transformation’s work to help justify façade restoration works around our business. They have produced excellent presentations on what can be achieved and is a brilliant piece of informed marketing that is helping win people over in our business to take façade cleaning and restoration more seriously.

Building Transformation is always mindful of the environments they are working in and take the time to understand the restrictions of each site; whether they be physical or due to the client’s day to day activities. They are extremely proactive and ensure that any issues are flagged to a client immediately, and when doing so always make sure a solution is provided. I couldn’t recommend Building Transformation more highly.
Novotel Sheffield
I had a walk around today with Dave and am impressed with the work so far. Dave and the team have done a great job.
I’d certainly love to work with you in the future so perhaps before the job is completed we could look at what opportunities there are for the future.
Novotel Leeds
At this stage, from my point of view your team has been extremely professional, informing us of what was happening at all times and most importantly no disruption whatsoever to our guests and business.

The team at Building Transformation understood our challenge of finding a facade cleaning solution that would initially restore the glazing to its original state, protecting our building for years to come. Through intelligent and thorough testing right through to the full restoration of Block D, we have been very satisfied with the project management and delivery of the cleaning programme.
