Glass town heritage and industrial work
St Helens grew on glass and coal, and it shows in the building stock: solid Victorian brick terraces, former industrial units, and civic buildings in local sandstone. A lot of our work here involves taking masonry paint and old render off brick that was covered up in the 1970s and 80s, and cleaning up metalwork that has been repainted over rust more than once.
There is also a good amount of commercial and light industrial work in the town — steelwork, racking, tanks, gates and fencing — where blasting back to bare metal before repainting is the only way to make a coating last.
Common questions
Do you cover the villages around St Helens?
Yes — Rainford, Billinge, Eccleston, Sutton, Rainhill, Haydock, Newton-le-Willows and Prescot are all within our normal working area.
Can you remove masonry paint from brick?
Usually yes, and it is one of our most common jobs. Success depends on the brick underneath: hard machine-made brick cleans up well, while very soft handmade brick needs a gentler approach and sometimes should be left alone. We check before quoting.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work for factories, landlords, letting agents and contractors, and can work out of hours where blasting during the day would disrupt a business.
How long does a typical job take?
A set of gates or railings is usually half a day to a day. A house frontage is typically one to three days depending on size and what is being removed.
