Method
Controlled abrasive or soda blasting may be suitable for timber; masonry and metal sections are assessed separately. Thin cladding and fragile boards need conservative treatment.

Outbuilding Cleaning FAQ
Details that affect the plan.
Can you clean different materials on one building?
Yes, but the quotation should separate timber, masonry and metal methods rather than treating them as one surface.
Will the building need refinishing?
Often. The appropriate next finish depends on the timber or masonry condition and is confirmed separately.
