Safe cleaning for different materials & surfaces

Every building exterior is different. From delicate heritage stone to modern cladding, each surface needs a tailored approach to avoid damage and achieve lasting results. Our technicians combine years of experience with advanced cleaning systems to safely restore all types of exterior finishes.

Surface-specific techniques:

Low-pressure soft washing for render, painted façades, and sensitive stonework.
Controlled pressure washing for brick, concrete, and masonry without damaging mortar or joints.
Chemical cleaning and poultices for removing biological growth, stains, or efflorescence.
Gentle micro-abrasion for heritage stone or listed buildings requiring a precision clean.
Graffiti-safe stripping agents that remove paint and pollutants without harming the substrate.

Before any cleaning begins, we test a discreet area to confirm the safest and most effective method for your building.

Graffiti, stains & efflorescence removal

Exterior surfaces often suffer from more than just dirt. Paint, pollution, and mineral deposits can spoil the appearance of even well-maintained buildings. Ideal Response provides targeted graffiti removal, stain cleaning, and efflorescence treatment to restore façades to their original condition.

Graffiti removal: Specialist gel and solvent systems safely lift paint, marker, or spray coatings from stone, brick, render, and cladding.
Efflorescence cleaning: Acid-neutralising treatments dissolve white salt deposits without weakening masonry.
Heritage restoration: Non-abrasive solutions preserve detail on listed or decorative façades.

Our cleaning specialists restore your building’s appearance quickly, without ghosting, streaks, or surface damage, leaving façades looking clean, consistent, and professionally maintained.

Chemical control: All products are chosen and applied in line with COSHH and Environmental Permitting Regulations.
Health & safety: Trained technicians use appropriate PPE, access equipment, and safe working practices on every project.
Documentation & support: We provide method statements, risk assessments, and waste disposal certificates for full compliance records.
