Cleaning Chimney Breast Brickwork
« on: March 30, 2013, 01:36:33 pm »
I've had an enquiry come in for cleaning the brickwork of a chimney breast inside a house.

Anyone do this? I would presume the best method is by soda blasting?

May look to pass on the lead or sub out.

It depends if its a site or if the house is occupied. If its a live in finished clean the breast afterthought then a tornado ags would be usefull.
