In our opinion, it is very important that a qualified stonemason carries out stone cleaning in particular.
Many older and period buildings have fairly delicate sandstone, and hitting the building with too much force or the wrong approach can end up costing you a lot more in repairs and stone replacements.
An experienced stonemason carrying out stone cleaning can immediately determine, just by looking at the stone, how much (or little) pressure the masonry will take before damage occurs and this is vital.
This is very much a tactile skill gained through intimate knowledge of how stone reacts to different stresses.
