Professional DOFF Steam Cleaning for Delicate and Historic Surfaces
CCR Construction provides specialist DOFF steam cleaning services across Cumbria, North Yorkshire and the North West, helping homeowners, commercial property owners, local authorities and conservation specialists restore brickwork, stonework and masonry safely and effectively.
Using advanced DOFF superheated steam technology, we can remove years of dirt, grime, algae, moss, lichen, paint residue and biological growth without causing damage to the underlying surface. Unlike traditional pressure washing, DOFF cleaning relies on high temperatures and low pressure, making it ideal for sensitive materials, listed buildings and heritage properties.

What Is DOFF Steam Cleaning?
DOFF steam cleaning is a specialist cleaning system that uses superheated water at temperatures of up to 150°C while operating at extremely low pressure. This allows contaminants to be removed through heat rather than force, reducing the risk of damage to delicate surfaces.
The system is widely recognised as one of the safest cleaning methods available for:
Stone/Masonry
Stone and masonry surfaces require ongoing maintenance to preserve their appearance and condition. Continuous exposure to weather, moisture and environmental pollutants can lead to the build-up of moss, algae, lichen and other biological contaminants. Professional cleaning helps remove these deposits, restoring the surface while helping to protect it from further deterioration.
Wood
Timber surfaces can become affected by algae, moss, fungi and other biological growth over time, particularly when exposed to the elements. The DOFF cleaning system uses low-pressure, superheated steam and minimal water, making it an ideal solution for cleaning delicate and porous materials such as wood. This gentle approach removes contaminants effectively while helping to preserve the natural character and condition of the surface.
Brick
The DOFF cleaning system is highly effective at removing stubborn surface contaminants from brickwork, restoring the building’s appearance without causing damage. Regular cleaning and preventative maintenance can help preserve the condition of brick structures, protecting them from the effects of pollution, biological growth, paint residue and graffiti while maintaining their long-term structural integrity.
Paint
The DOFF cleaning system can be carefully adjusted to clean painted surfaces without causing unnecessary damage to the underlying finish. Its gentle yet highly effective cleaning process removes dirt, grime, algae and graffiti, helping to restore the appearance of painted buildings and structures while preserving their condition and extending the life of the coating.
Benefits of DOFF Steam Cleaning
Safe for Historic and Listed Buildings
DOFF cleaning was developed specifically for sensitive and historic structures. The low-pressure process helps preserve the integrity of stone, brick and mortar while achieving excellent cleaning results.
