Façade Gommage

The Façade Gommage cleaning process is a new approach that lifts decades of accumulated dirt in a matter of days, all without the need for scaffolding.

Typically, when prioritising maintenance and upkeep, building owners and facilities managers have prioritised interior re-fits and renovations over external works.

This is understandable when considering the drawbacks of conventional steam, water and chemical-based cleaning; methods that often entail shrouding a building in unsightly, disruptive scaffolding for months on end. Façade Gommage is the only specialist process that removes these barriers to restoration.

Before and after: Styles Façade Solutions® transforms the weathered, grime-darkened pediment at Bevis Marks Synagogue using precision Façade Gommage cleaning. The gentle, non-abrasive technique lifts decades of pollution and biological staining, restoring crisp definition to the carved Hebrew inscription and scrollwork—revealing bright, honey-toned stone without damaging this historic 1701 masonry.

FAÇADE GOMMAGE - THE CLEAN WINNER

Style Façade Solutions® (formerly Thomann-Hanry®) Façade Gommage cleaning process offers a swift, economical, water-sensitive, and harsh-chemical-free alternative to traditional cleaning. Working from a lorry-mounted hydraulic boom, fine inert powders are projected under low pressure across the building’s surface. This process erases layers of accumulated dirt to reveal stonework and masonry as it originally appeared.

Gentle, agile, and non-disruptive, the beauty of the Façade Gommage cleaning process lies in its versatility. It is as effective on modern buildings as it is on iconic historic and heritage structures, including the Bank of England, The Ritz, and King’s College, Cambridge.

Styles Façade Solutions® uses Façade Gommage cleaning to gently and effectively remove decades of urban soiling from ornate stonework, restoring intricate carved detailing and original colour without damaging delicate surfaces, all achieved through a scaffold-free, dust-controlled process suited to historic buildings.
