Non-abrasive, chemical-free cleaning of heritage stone, brick and masonry — safe for listed buildings, conservation areas and sensitive historic fabric. Removes pollution staining, biological growth and graffiti without any risk to the substrate.

Conservation-approved. Non-abrasive, chemical-free stone cleaning — safe for listed buildings, scheduled monuments and conservation areas.

The Only Method That Carries No Risk

Stone and brick cleaning is one of the most demanding applications in the surface restoration industry. The wrong method can cause irreversible damage to historic fabric, accelerate weathering and destroy the patina that gives heritage buildings their character.

Laser cleaning is the only method that removes contamination without any risk to the substrate. The laser is calibrated to the absorption characteristics of the contaminant — biological growth, pollution crust, graffiti or previous treatments — rather than the stone or brick beneath. The contaminant is vaporised layer by layer, leaving the original surface completely intact.

"I used Lightwork recently to clean salt from brick work that I had tried to remove with a jet washer. Brilliant job overall, highly recommended and great customer service."

Laser Stone Cleaning — Common Questions

Is laser stone cleaning safe for listed buildings?

Yes. Laser cleaning is one of the few methods approved for use on listed buildings and in conservation areas. It is non-abrasive, leaves no chemical residue and can be precisely controlled to remove only the contaminant layer.

Can laser cleaning remove biological growth from stone?

Yes. Laser cleaning is highly effective at removing biological growth including algae, lichen, moss and biofilm from stone and brick surfaces. The process kills the biological material and removes it without damaging the substrate.

Will laser cleaning damage carved detail or inscriptions?

No. The laser can be calibrated to remove only the surface contaminant, preserving original carved detail, inscriptions and tool marks. This makes it ideal for decorative stonework, sculpture and memorials.

Can you clean individual stones without affecting adjacent areas?

Yes. The laser beam can be directed with millimetre precision, allowing individual stones, joints or decorative elements to be cleaned without affecting surrounding areas.
