Bradford houses, and what they need
Bradford is millstone grit terraces and back-to-backs, much of it built for the wool trade and still in its original stone. The roofline is Yorkshire stone slate on the older stock and Welsh slate on the later — heavy, porous coverings that hold moss in a way smooth tile does not. The city sits in a bowl with a century and a half of industrial soiling in the stone, so blackened elevations are common and are dirt rather than decay.
Stone slate is heavy, laid in diminishing courses and expensive to replace a single unit of, which is the whole argument for treating it gently.

The work we are asked for most here
Pressure washing in Bradford. Most of what looks like permanent staining on a wall, a path or a drive is a living film of algae sitting on top of the surface. The skill is not the machine — it is knowing how much pressure a given surface can take before you start removing the surface itself. Rendering in Bradford. Render is the wall’s raincoat. While it is sound it keeps water out of the masonry; once it has cracked or blown it holds water against the wall instead, and the damp inside usually arrives before anyone notices the crack outside. Patio cleaning in Bradford. A patio does not usually go dark because the stone has changed. It goes dark because a film of algae has grown over it, and under that film the original colour is still there.
