Online Training: The Cleaning of Historic Building Façades

Learn about traditional and innovative methods for cleaning historic building façades, with Simon Collins of Thomann-Hanry® exploring techniques for maintaining and conserving historic masonry.

Join us for an in-depth online session exploring the cleaning of historic building facades. Participants will gain practical insights into traditional masonry cleaning methods, including:

  • A review of traditional masonry cleaning systems, such as DOFF, Nebulous spray, abrasive blast cleaning, poultices, and chemical cleaning.

The session is led by Simon Collins, Business Development Manager at Thomann-Hanry®, who brings over 25 years’ experience in the commercial building cleaning sector with a particular focus on heritage and historic buildings.
