DOFF Steam Cleaning
The architects' choice for heritage buildings. Heritage-approved superheated steam cleaning for delicate stonework, brick, and historic buildings. Remove paint, graffiti, and biological growth without damage across Newtownabbey & Belfast.
What is DOFF Steam Cleaning?
The DOFF system, widely recognized as the architects' choice for heritage restoration, uses superheated water (reaching 150°C) at low pressure to clean delicate and sensitive building materials. Unlike pressure washing which can damage historic stonework and soft masonry, DOFF's controlled steam approach safely removes contaminants without erosion or moisture penetration.
Approved by Historic Environment Scotland and widely used on listed buildings, the DOFF system is the gold standard for heritage stone cleaning, paint removal, and restoration of aged masonry. Architects and conservation professionals trust DOFF for its gentle yet highly effective cleaning results. The high temperature kills biological growth instantly while the low pressure protects fragile surfaces.
- Heritage-approved: Safe for listed buildings & delicate stonework
- Chemical-free: Uses only superheated water—no harsh chemicals
