Method
Media and pressure are selected for the exposed brick or stone, not simply for the coating. A staged test can show both the achievable finish and any variation beneath old paint.

Fireplace Cleaning in Bristol
A fireplace is often a focal point and usually sits beside completed floors, walls, joinery and furnishings. We assess the masonry and coating, then plan a test area and containment before wider cleaning.

Fireplace Cleaning FAQ
Details that affect the plan.
Can you show what is under the paint first?
A small test area is often the most useful way to assess the brick, paint depth and likely final appearance.
How is dust controlled indoors?
The exact controls depend on the room, access and material, but masking, containment and a planned clean-down are discussed before work begins.
