Exterior steam cleaning is one of the most effective and environmentally friendly methods for restoring buildings, surfaces, and outdoor spaces. At Servos Exterior Cleaning, we use advanced steam cleaning systems to remove stubborn dirt, algae, moss, and staining from all types of exterior materials, safely and without damage.
Our expertise in exterior steam cleaning allows us to transform everything from stone and brickwork to render and cladding, keeping buildings looking their best while protecting their integrity.
What Is Exterior Steam Cleaning?
Exterior steam cleaning uses superheated water vapour to lift and remove dirt, grime, biological growth, and pollutants from surfaces. The process combines high temperature and low pressure, making it far gentler than traditional pressure washing.
The steam is powerful enough to kill algae and moss spores while remaining delicate on materials such as stone, brick, render, and terracotta. This makes it the ideal solution for both modern properties and heritage buildings where surface protection is essential.
Signs Your Property Needs Steam Cleaning
Not sure if your building’s exterior could benefit from steam cleaning? Here are some common signs to look out for:
- Green, red, or black algae forming on stone, brick, or render surfaces
- Dull or stained areas caused by pollution or weathering
- Moss or lichen growth on walls, roofs, or pathways
- Discolouration or streaking from rainwater or organic matter
- Faded or uneven surface appearance that no longer looks clean
If you notice any of these signs, it’s a strong indication your property would benefit from a professional steam cleaning treatment to restore its original look and prevent further damage.
Why Choose Steam Cleaning for Your Building Exterior?
Steam cleaning delivers exceptional results without the need for harsh chemicals or abrasive techniques. It’s suitable for a wide range of exterior surfaces, including:
- Natural stone and masonry
- Brickwork and blockwork
- Concrete and render
- Metal, cladding, and composite panels
- Roofs, pavements, and paths
By using advanced steam cleaning systems, Servos can effectively remove:
- Algae, moss, and lichen
- Carbon and traffic pollution staining
- Graffiti and paint residue
- Bird fouling and organic matter
- General surface dirt and weathering
This powerful yet gentle method restores the appearance of your property and helps prevent long-term deterioration caused by pollutants and biological growth.
The Benefits of Steam Cleaning Systems
Steam cleaning is more than just surface cleaning—it’s a deep restoration process that protects your building over time.
1. Safe for All Surfaces
Because steam cleaning operates at low pressure, it won’t damage delicate materials or mortar joints. It’s particularly effective for older buildings or those constructed with porous materials.
2. Chemical-Free Cleaning
We use only water—superheated to create steam. This makes steam cleaning completely eco-friendly and safe for plants, pets, and surrounding areas.
3. Long-Lasting Results
The heat of the steam kills biological spores, helping prevent regrowth of moss and algae. This keeps your surfaces cleaner for longer compared to cold-water washing methods.
4. Quick Drying Times
Surfaces dry rapidly after cleaning due to the high temperature and low water usage. This reduces the risk of trapped moisture and frost damage, especially important for stone and render.
5. Environmentally Responsible
With zero harmful runoff or chemical residue, steam cleaning is a sustainable choice for businesses and homeowners who value environmentally conscious property care.
Our Approach to Steam Cleaning
At Servos Exterior Cleaning, we take a careful, methodical approach to every steam cleaning project:
- Initial Inspection – We assess your property to identify materials, contamination levels, and the best steam system for the job.
- Preparation – The area is prepared and protected to ensure efficient and safe cleaning.
- Steam Cleaning Application – Using controlled temperature and pressure, we remove dirt, algae, and stains while protecting the surface.
- Detail Cleaning – Stubborn areas such as graffiti or carbon build-up are treated with precision.
- Final Rinse and Protection – Where required, we apply post-cleaning treatments to prevent regrowth and future staining.
Our fully trained team works to the highest standards of safety and professionalism, with experience across commercial, residential, and heritage projects nationwide.
Types of Steam Cleaning Systems We Use
Steam cleaning is not a one-size-fits-all solution. At Servos, we use a range of professional-grade steam systems, each designed for different materials and applications.
DOFF Steam Cleaning System
The DOFF cleaning system uses superheated steam (up to 150°C) at very low pressure. It is ideal for sensitive surfaces such as natural stone, brick, and render, where traditional pressure washing could cause damage.
This method is especially effective for heritage buildings, churches, monuments, and older properties. The gentle steam removes organic growth, carbon deposits, and graffiti while preserving surface detail and integrity.
TORIK Steam Cleaning System
The TORIK system is designed for more robust surfaces such as concrete, metal, or heavily stained brickwork. It delivers a slightly higher pressure while maintaining controlled heat, making it perfect for removing stubborn dirt, paint, and pollutants on modern exteriors.
TORIK cleaning is commonly used for commercial buildings, cladding, and large façades where precision, power, and speed are key.
By combining these two professional steam cleaning systems, we can provide tailored solutions for any surface type—ensuring every property is cleaned safely and effectively.
Steam Cleaning vs Pressure Washing
Traditional pressure washing relies on force rather than heat, which can erode stone, damage mortar, or strip paint. Steam cleaning, on the other hand, uses temperature to loosen dirt and kill organic matter without surface abrasion.
The result?
- Longer-lasting cleanliness
- No structural damage
- Reduced risk of water ingress
- A more sustainable and environmentally friendly process
This makes steam cleaning the smarter choice for property owners looking to protect their investment while achieving deep, lasting results.

FAQ'S
Frequently asked questions about our Steam cleaning
What is exterior steam cleaning?
Exterior steam cleaning is a gentle yet powerful cleaning method that uses superheated water vapour to remove dirt, algae, moss, and stains from building surfaces. It’s ideal for stone, brick, render, and cladding because it cleans effectively without causing damage or using harsh chemicals.
Is steam cleaning safe for all surfaces?
Yes, steam cleaning is suitable for most exterior surfaces, including stone, brickwork, render, metal, and concrete. Because it uses low pressure and high temperature, it’s much safer for delicate or historic materials than traditional pressure washing.
How long do steam cleaning results last?
Results typically last between 2 and 5 years, depending on environmental conditions and surface type. The heat from the steam kills moss and algae spores, helping prevent regrowth and keeping surfaces cleaner for longer.
What’s the difference between steam cleaning and pressure washing?
Pressure washing relies on high force to remove dirt, which can damage softer materials. Steam cleaning, on the other hand, uses heat rather than pressure to lift grime and kill organic growth, making it safer, more sustainable, and ideal for delicate exteriors.
