Brick & masonry
A characterful stone farmhouse was carefully returned to its natural appearance after years beneath a heavy white paint coating. Birmingham Sandblasting used a controlled, low-impact soda-cleaning approach to lift the paint while respecting the historic stone surface, revealing its original texture and tonal variation.

What was needed
The work covered the painted farmhouse elevations, with full scaffold access and appropriate protection around the building. Multiple paint layers were removed progressively using carefully selected pressures and media, with close visual checks throughout to avoid over-cleaning, preserve the stone face and leave the masonry ready for any considered finishing or repair work.
