Brickwork Cleaning

Why You Might Need Professional Brickwork Cleaning

There are many factors that can bring damage to the brickwork, such as weather, bad or lack of maintenance, paint and others. Mould generally occurs in damp areas. It is, at best, an unsightly nuisance and, at worst, a health hazard. If you have mould growing on concrete driveways, brick walkways or paving stone patios around your home, the first thing to do is to make sure your children and pets do not have access to the area until you can remove the mould.

Mould spores can cause a variety of physical symptoms, including shortness of breath, aggravated asthma, sinus congestion, coughing, itchy eyes and much more. Apart for damaging your health, the mould, moss & algae weaken the structure of the brick or stone and surfaces such as driveways and patios and perimeter walls, steps will get very slippery.

Moss tends to grow freely over brick walls, walkways and patios. When left unabated, it can cover your entire walkway, especially if it’s in a shady area. There are several ways to remove it, but moss is persistent, which means that you may have to tackle it repeatedly.
