Combining Traditional Skills with Modern Stone Cleaning Technology
While traditional stonemasonry remains at the heart of everything we do, we continually invest in technology that allows us to achieve the best possible conservation outcomes.
A.R.C Stonemasonry is proud to offer specialist heritage stone cleaning using advanced European-engineered equipment designed specifically for delicate natural stone.
Unlike abrasive cleaning methods or high-pressure washing, our specialist cleaning system uses low-pressure superheated steam to safely remove dirt, moss, paint and much more. The process is suitable for cleaning heritage buildingsm stone houses, churches, monuments and more.
As one of the few contractors in Australia—and currently the only contractor in South Australia—using this specialist heritage stone cleaning system, we can provide a complete restoration service from careful cleaning through to stone repairs, repointing and long-term conservation.
