About Lapis Lateres
Lapis Lateres (Latin for Stone and Brick) is an established family-run firm.
Based in the heart of the UK in the West Midlands, allowing fast access to all parts of the country, we work on a variety of small and large projects throughout the country, Lapis Lateres offers a 100% eco-friendly exterior cleaning service that, as our customer testimonials show, is one of the leaders in the marketplace with a corporate professionalism and a family-run dedication to clients which is second-to-none.
We believe that we can deliver on any of your small or large requirements and for your next project, we are willing to show you our work with a 15-minute free demonstration of our services at a location of your choice – whether it be brick and stone restoration and conservation, graffiti removal, chewing gum removal, patio or driveway cleaning, removal of moss or algae, we are happy to show you what we can offer.
We operate from self-contained vans, so a power or water supply is never an issue and are fully trained on and use the best machines in the industry – the DOFF and the TORC. Unlike other steam system/pressure washer systems, these can achieve temperatures of 150°C.
DOFF systems are only available from the manufacturers, Stone Health, and their expertise and systems are the first choice for architects and building maintenance professionals. More information on the DOFF can be found on the Stone Health website: www.stonehealth.com along with videos of the DOFF in action and a list of approved contractors.
Our DOFF system uses steam/superheated water and will remove:
- Paint coatings
- Certain types of graffiti
- Bird or vermin fouling
- Algae, moss, fungi
- Grease
- Oil
- Chewing Gum
- Other biological matter and will also kill spores
- Wax coatings
There is no need to use a chemical biocide during the removal process or as a protection against further biological matter.
Our TORC system – a very light abrasive system – removes:
- Carbon sulphating
- Lime & cement-based paints
- Paint residues
- Some old oil based paints
- Bitumen
- Lime scale
Does not damage the ‘patina’ of the stone we are working on.
