Frequently asked · Oxford

What clients in Oxford usually ask first.

Can you clean college and heritage stone safely?

Yes. DOFF steam at low pressure removes soiling without harming the stone; we sample first and work to any conservation conditions.

Do you work in Oxford's pedestrian centre?

Yes. Access, deliveries and out-of-hours working are planned around the centre's restrictions and agreed before we mobilise.

How far do you cover around Oxford?

Oxford city plus Bicester, Abingdon, Witney and the business parks along the A34 and M40 corridor.

What's the warranted service life?

Depends on system and substrate condition. Typically 10, 15 or 20 years. We agree the warranty target before specification.

Will it work on my substrate?

Felt, single-ply, asphalt and metal profile are all coatable subject to survey. We confirm suitability and moisture readings before committing to a spec.

What's the access plan?

Edge protection, MEWP or scaffold, confirmed at survey based on roof height and parapet condition. Set out in full in the RAMS pack before mobilisation.

How long does it take to cure?

Most systems are weather-resistant within hours and fully cured within a week. We plan around the forecast. Application won't happen outside the temperature or dew-point window.

Can it be applied in winter?

Yes, within the system's temperature range. Some systems need minimum 5°C and rising; we won't apply outside the manufacturer's spec regardless of programme pressure.
