Restoring the Beauty of Winchester Museum: T&H Contract Services Delivers Expert Exterior Cleaning

At T&H Contract Services, we take pride in delivering high-quality cleaning and maintenance solutions for historic and commercial buildings. Our recent project at Winchester Museum, carried out on behalf of Leaves Building & Maintenance Contractors Limited, showcases our expertise in preserving and revitalizing important heritage structures.

The Challenge:
Winchester Museum, an iconic building constructed from stone and flint, had accumulated algae, dirt, and other contaminants over time. As with any historic structure, special care was needed to avoid damaging the building's delicate materials. Additionally, the museum's windows, including its roof light panels, had become dirty, and the gutters and gullies required attention to ensure proper drainage.

Our Solution:
We approached the project with a combination of advanced techniques and a deep understanding of the challenges that come with maintaining heritage sites.

Soft Wash Cleaning for the Exterior:
To remove the algae and grime from the museum's stone and flint exterior, we utilized our soft wash system. This low-pressure cleaning method is ideal for older buildings, as it effectively cleans without causing any damage to the materials. Soft washing also provides long-lasting results by inhibiting the future growth of algae and moss, ensuring the museum stays cleaner for longer.

Pure Water Reach-and-Wash for Windows:
The museum’s windows, including hard-to-reach roof light panels, needed a careful and thorough cleaning. Our team used pure water reach-and-wash equipment to deliver a spotless, streak-free finish. This technique uses purified water, which naturally attracts and removes dirt without the need for harsh chemicals. The result? Crystal-clear windows that allow natural light to brighten the museum’s interior.

Gutter and Gully Cleaning:
Ensuring proper drainage is essential for the longevity of any building, especially historic ones. We cleared all gutters and gullies of debris to allow rainwater to flow freely, preventing potential water damage that can occur from blockages. This step is crucial in preserving the structural integrity of older buildings like Winchester Museum.

The Result:
The transformation at Winchester Museum was remarkable. Our soft wash treatment restored the building’s exterior to its former glory, with the natural beauty of the stone and flint shining through once again. The windows are now sparkling clean, and the gutters and gullies are fully functional, protecting the building from future environmental damage.
