What is DOFF?

Heat does the work — not chemicals

DOFF is a superheated-water system that heats water up to 150°C and delivers it at low pressure. The heat softens and lifts paint, grease, gum and growth, then rinses it away — so there is no need for aggressive pressure or harsh chemicals.

That makes it the go-to method for delicate brick and stone, listed and heritage buildings, and sites where run-off near people, livestock or watercourses matters.

Kills growth at the root

High heat destroys moss, algae and lichen spores, so regrowth is slower.

Protects the surface

Low pressure means no etching, pitting or blown mortar joints.

How we work

A Careful, Tested Process

Every surface is different — so we test before we clean.

  2. 2

    Test patch

    A small trial area sets the right temperature and pressure for your surface.

  3. 3

    DOFF clean

    Superheated water lifts the dirt — low pressure, no harsh chemicals.

  4. 4

    Sign-off

    We walk the job with you and leave the area clean, rinsed and tidy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is DOFF steam cleaning?
DOFF is a superheated-water system that heats water up to 150°C and delivers it at low pressure. The heat softens and lifts paint, grease, gum and biological growth so it can be rinsed away without aggressive pressure or harsh chemicals.
Is DOFF safe on old brick and stone?
Low pressure means no etching, pitting or blown mortar joints, which is why DOFF is widely used on heritage and listed buildings. We always run a test patch first to set the right temperature and pressure for your surface.
Can DOFF remove graffiti and paint?
Yes. Spray paint, tags and old paint coatings can be lifted from brick, stone and concrete. Results depend on the paint and how porous the surface is, so we confirm on a test patch before quoting the full job.
Do you use chemicals?
Heat does the work, so harsh chemicals are not needed. That makes DOFF a good choice near people, livestock and watercourses where chemical run-off matters.
Do you need to see the site first?
Yes. We survey the surface, the contamination and access, then provide a free, no-obligation quote.
Which areas do you cover?
Based in Middlesbrough, we cover Teesside, County Durham, Tyne and Wear, North Yorkshire and the wider North East. Send us the site postcode with your enquiry so we can confirm access and availability.
