Safely restore heavily soiled, delicate, or historic building surfaces with CleanCore’s specialist cleaning services. Operating across Derby and surrounding areas, we utilize advanced chemical treatments and controlled low-pressure restoration techniques to safely remove stubborn paint layers, heavy carbon staining, and unwanted graffiti from brickwork, stone, and commercial facades without causing substrate damage.
Standard pressure washing and softwashing cannot tackle deep-seated industrial pollutants, heavy paint coats, or burnt-on carbon deposits on brickwork. Applying abrasive high-pressure washing to historical or delicate masonry will cause irreversible damage, blowing the faces off bricks and destroying mortar joints. Our specialist surface cleaning approach relies on chemical softening agents and controlled low-pressure washing to draw out heavy pollutants safely, restoring the natural beauty of your building.
Specialist exterior cleaning requires tailored chemistry, precision equipment, and dedicated surface techniques. We break down our specialist treatments into targeted services to ensure every substrate—from historic period brickwork to modern commercial facades—receives the exact care it needs.
Removing masonry paint requires a gentle, chemical-led approach to ensure old layers lift smoothly without gouging or damaging the underlying porous brickwork and stone.
Years of traffic fumes and industrial pollution leave a dark, greasy carbon crust on brickwork and stone walls that standard water pressure cannot shift.
Vandalism or accidental paint spills on your property require immediate, specialized attention to restore your building’s professional appearance without leaving shadows.
Removing masonry paint requires a gentle, chemical-led approach to ensure old layers lift smoothly without gouging or damaging the underlying porous brickwork and stone.
We apply specialized chemical poultices and stripping agents that penetrate deep into old masonry paint, breaking down its bond so it softens completely before removal.
Once softened, the paint layers are gently washed away using controlled low-pressure steam or warm water, preventing face-blowing or mortar loss.
After the paint is fully removed, we apply neutralising agents to stabilize the brick surface, leaving a clean, bare masonry finish ready for repointing or sealing.
Years of traffic fumes and industrial pollution leave a dark, greasy carbon crust on brickwork and stone walls that standard water pressure cannot shift.
We apply specialized heavy-duty restoration washes that break down greasy carbon bonds and industrial soot without eroding the underlying stone.
Our chemical solutions penetrate deep into the pores of the masonry, lifting embedded black spots and soot up to the surface for an even clean.
We thoroughly rinse the walls with controlled water flow, returning dark, polluted brickwork to its vibrant, original colour without leaving streak marks.
Vandalism or accidental paint spills on your property require immediate, specialized attention to restore your building’s professional appearance without leaving shadows.
We utilize professional-grade graffiti removers that break down aerosol spray paints, marker inks, and enamel splatters on contact.
Inexperienced cleaning often leaves a faded “ghost” image in the stone pores; our secondary shadow-clearing treatments eliminate all trace pigments.

Harry this week has cleaned the roof to the house and conservatory. The result was incredible. He made such a difference! The house looked brand new. Neighbours have also commented on what a great job Harry had done and are interested getting their roofs done too. The service provided was highly professional and attentive. Everything was cleaned up after including any debris at adjacent neighbours. The service was not rushed and took time to do a great job. I highly recommend Harry at Cleancore. I definitely will be hiring Harry again for the future.Posted on Google![]()

Have questions about how we safely strip paint or remove heavy carbon deposits from delicate brickwork? Read our answers to the most common queries from local property owners below.
No. We do not use harsh sandblasting or aggressive high-pressure jet washing, which can strip away the protective outer crust of bricks and cause them to crumble. Instead, we use specialist paint-softening chemical strippers combined with gentle steam or low-pressure water to safely lift paint layers while keeping the underlying brickwork completely intact.
Black carbon staining is the result of years of vehicle exhaust emissions, coal smoke, and heavy industrial air pollution bonding with the porous surface of stone and brick. Over time, it forms a hard, dark crust that water alone cannot clean. Our specialist cleaning solutions chemically break down these carbon bonds so the pollution washes away easily.
Yes. Removing graffiti requires the right balance of chemistry and pressure. Inexperienced cleaning can leave a faded outline or shadow embedded deep in the masonry pores. We apply specialized solvent treatments that dissolve the paint pigments entirely out of the pores, followed by a gentle flush that leaves no trace behind.
If your property has basic algae or moss, standard softwashing or pressure washing is usually sufficient. However, if you are dealing with thick masonry paint, heavy black traffic pollution crusts, graffiti, or historic brickwork, it requires our specialist cleaning service. We conduct a full site evaluation before starting to recommend the safest method for your building.
Yes, we cater to both residential homeowners and commercial property managers, as well as heritage or listed building owners across Derby. We carefully tailor our chemical strengths and pressure settings to match the exact age, condition, and material of your building’s exterior walls.
