Restore the Beauty of Your Property Safely, Effectively, and Without Damage
Your building’s exterior is its first impression. Over time, brick, stone, render, and masonry surfaces fall victim to algae, moss, lichen, black carbon staining, graffiti, chewing gum, paint overspray, and general urban grime. Left untreated, these contaminants don’t just look unsightly they can trap moisture, accelerate weathering, and cause long-term structural damage.
At Cebaro Cleaning we specialize in professional exterior cleaning and restoration, using the industry’s most advanced and gentlest method available: DOFF superheated steam cleaning technology. Whether you’re maintaining a listed heritage building, restoring a historic façade, or simply want your commercial or residential property looking its best, we deliver results that are thorough, safe, and built to last.
Our exterior cleaning and restortion services are designed to deliver exceptional results and exceed expectations, contributing to the success of your business.
Why DOFF Steam Cleaning? The Gold Standard in Exterior Restoration
DOFF is a superheated water/steam cleaning system that has become the preferred method for conservators, heritage bodies, and restoration professionals across the UK and beyond — and for good reason. The DOFF system delivers water heated to approximately 150°C (300°F) at low pressure (typically under 300 PSI) through a precision-controlled lance. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which relies on high-pressure water to blast away dirt, DOFF uses heat, not force, to break the molecular bond between contaminants and the substrate. The result is a deep clean that lifts away biological growth, carbon staining, and grime — without eroding or damaging the surface beneath.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is DOFF steam cleaning safe for all surfaces?
DOFF is safe for the vast majority of masonry, stone, and render surfaces. During our site survey, we assess your specific substrate and, where necessary, carry out a test patch to confirm suitability before proceeding.
How is DOFF different from pressure washing?
Pressure washing relies on high water pressure to physically blast away dirt, which can erode soft or historic surfaces over time. DOFF uses low-pressure superheated steam, cleaning through heat rather than force — making it far gentler while still delivering a deep, effective clean.
Will the growth come back?
Because DOFF kills biological growth at the root rather than just removing the visible surface layer, regrowth is typically slower than with cold-water or chemical-only methods. We can also advise on optional protective treatments to further extend results.
Is it suitable for listed or historic buildings?
Yes — DOFF is widely regarded as the leading method for cleaning heritage and listed structures, and is frequently specified by conservation officers and heritage bodies.
How long does the process take?
Timeframes depend on the size and condition of the surface area. We’ll provide a clear timeline as part of your quote following the initial site survey.
Do I need to be present during the work?
Not necessarily — we’re happy to work with property managers, tenants, or via a scheduled access arrangement, whichever suits your circumstances.
