Case study · Facade cleaning · Hyde Park Corner
A prestigious facade at Hyde Park Corner. DOFF cleaned from the ropes.
DOFF steam cleaning of a new private club on one of London’s busiest corners. A prestigious building with high footfall below, so the work was planned and managed around the public.
The project
Steam cleaning stone above a busy pavement
Invictus Access DOFF cleaned the stone facade of a new private club at Hyde Park Corner.
DOFF uses superheated steam at low pressure, which lifts dirt and staining from stonework without the damage that high-pressure washing can cause. Working by rope access meant the facade could be cleaned drop by drop without scaffolding a prestigious building.
With heavy footfall around the building, the works were managed carefully at street level so the public could pass safely while the team worked above.
