So you have purchased or inherited a Heritage home and now you wish to restore it, and keep it looking fabulous? Perhaps you are getting ready to sell. Cleaning heritage homes can be a specialised job due to the requirement to use specific products and the additional care required to look after surfaces and finishes. Maintaining beautiful properties is an important part of caring for our heritage.
Geelong is a beautiful and diverse city with a mix of old and new and our heritage buildings and homes are particularly beautiful.
From stained glass and other windows which require particular manual care, to restoring pathways with pressure cleaning, we are able to help you to make your home shine.
Pressure Washing
When it comes to pressure washing, we first will check that the surfaces are suitable and stable for this type of treatment. Where old concrete or paving has a build of algae, mould and mildew, pressure washing can be the most effective and efficient way to clean. In addition to looking great, the area will smell much fresher with these contaminants removed.
An example below shows black discoloured paving from a recent Heritage home cleaning which shows how surfaces come back to life with a pressure clean.
Tiles and other special surfaces
Do you have some Victorian tiles? Perhaps during a restoration or renovation of your heritage home you discovered some beautiful tiles under an old carpet or covered up in previous renovations.
Tiles require careful attention as grout may be loose. We will always let you know if we feel that a surface isn’t ready for cleaning.
When cleaning old tiles it is important to use the right materials and make sure that materials used are not abrasive.
The beautiful of tiles when layers of dirt and and grime sometimes having been there for decades comes off and the true colours are exposed.
