A terracotta frieze (1887) to the front elevation of Cutlers Hall, London EC4M, before and after cleaning. The upward facing surfaces have a substantial layer of particulate matter. The majority was removed dry, with soft brushes, prior to light and diffuse rinsing (the spray becoming more finely atomised at lower pressures and high temperature, 20bar and 150155C respectively) with a proprietary superheated water system. Localised repairs, principally of cracks, and re-colouring of old repairs were also carried out. (Photo far right: Cliveden Conservation).
