Expert Guide for Paint Removal During Building Restoration

Building restoration is an art and a major but a sensitive job involved in that is paint removal. Removing the paint, at the same time not disturbing the original architectural intricacies is a challenging job. We at Apollo stone are experts in paint removal London having successfully executed lots of building restoration jobs in London.

Removal of paint is the first step in most of the building restoration jobs and we do that with the skill we have earned with our experience and use the most modern technologies to do it in an effective manner. There are two main considerations while undertaking paint removal. First is to preserve the originality of the architecture and the next is not to damage the surface that would ultimately affect the restoration process and ins some cases the strength of the building also might get compromised if paint removal is done with chemicals that do damage to the original ingredients used in the building construction.

Lots of ancient building were re-decorated or modernised at a later time and now if we that we could not see the original architectural beauty of the building because of such redecoration. In such cases the layers of excessive paint applied on the surfaces covering and hiding the original beauty has to be removed and this would bring the building back to its original glory and beauty.

The building materials always have some moisture content left in them even though they look dried to our eyes. After the building construction and application of paint, the building is left to face the extremities of climate and during hot weather conditions this moisture tends to vaporize. As the outer surface is thickly coated by paint the vaporized moisture tries to escape through joints and weak spot or at the end of the painting. This is called localised vaporization and this result in excessive build-up of minerals like sulphates where more moisture evaporates. This weakens the structure and as the time goes by the deterioration increases.

In such cases, we suggest you to remove the paint first and let the building breathe a little before applying the right amount and quality of paint over the surface. With our expertise and trained technicians we execute the job with precision. If the building has a plaster made of lime mixed with gypsum then usage of methylene chloride during will be suggested by us and we meticulously reach out to each and every point with care and love to undertake the cleaning process. Once the chemical is applied the paint surface becomes so weak that they could be scrubbed and removed.
