Cleaning stonework at Georgian style residence
Glen Eagle Manor is an elegant, award-winning residential development located in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. The construction has been designed in traditional Georgian style to compliment other buildings in the area and received Harpenden Civic Society’s highest award for enhancement of a local area. It also received Property of the Year at Herts Building Construction Awards 2017 and was Shortlisted for Herts Association of Architects Award 2016.
The block and estate management company in charge of maintaining this prestigious building provides a very high standard of service and support to the residents. When it was decided that the exterior stone work of needed to be cleaned we were flattered that they chose OneFifty to carry out the work.
Cleaning stone balustrades, lintels and patios
The project involved cleaning all of the stone lintels, balustrades and balconies on the development, having reviewed the project to assess the requirements we chose pressurised steam as the most suitable solution.
Getting access equipment on site and in position to allow us to carry out the cleaning presented a challenge as the gateway entrance, and pathways around the site, are fairly narrow. The building is also surrounded by beautifully manicured lawns and flower beds which needed to be carefully navigated, and protected, while work was underway.
The right approach
A spider is a very versatile and easy to manoeuvre, so was well suited to this project. Our team carefully laid boards over the lawns to protect them when moving and positioning the spider around the site.
They took the greatest of care throughout, working at a steady pace in order to complete the cleaning to a very high standard and within the required timeframe. The results were spectacular, transforming the appearance of the stone, and both the block managing agent and the residents were absolutely delighted with the results.
