Why laser cleaning?

Traditional cleaning methods rely on water and scrubbing, which can spread soot deeper into porous surfaces and cause further damage. Our laser technology is different:

  • No water. No mess. Soot is removed cleanly without spreading or soaking into crevices.

  • No dust or debris. The process is precise and contained, leaving your home clean.

  • Safe on all surfaces. Painted, plastered, stone, or brick, our laser works effectively without causing damage.

Fireplace Cleaning

Over time, black carbon deposits can build up on and around your fireplace, dulling its appearance and making it an eyesore. Worse, the soot can rub off on hands, clothing, and furniture, leaving unsightly black marks throughout your home.

  • Indoor and outdoor fireplaces — we handle both.

Fire Damage restoration

When fire strikes, whether in a home or industrial setting, the smoke and soot damage left behind can be extensive and difficult to treat. Laser cleaning offers a precise, chemical-free solution that outperforms traditional restoration methods every time.

  • Carbon removal from surfaces - leaving them properly prepared for repainting without residue or risk of bleed-through.

  • Smoke damaged electrical equipment and circuits - cleaned safely and effectively without water, eliminating the risk of further damage to sensitive components.

  • Scorched or stained timber — stripped back cleanly and gently, preserving the integrity of the wood and preparing it for a fresh finish.

Graffiti Removal

The traditional combination of chemicals and water blasting seldom remove all traces of graffiti without causing damage to the surface. Lasers can be calibrated to specifically target the paint or permanent marker pen tagging and vaporise it.

We remove graffiti from unpainted surfaces including

  • Concrete

  • Brick

  • Stone

  • Wood

  • Galvanised Steel
