Acid Cleaning
Brick Acid is great for cleaning limescale off bricks but it is awful for many natural stones. It’s very common for some builders to recommend using brick acid to clean paving, whether it is for concrete or natural stone but beware you could be doing more damage than good
Hydrochloric Acid
A super strength 36% Hydrochloric Acid cleaner is an aggressive cleaner, that will remove cement and mortar splashes from brickwork, paving, concrete floors, and warehouses. For removing cement and mortar splashes, light oil stains and grease from brickwork, paving, tiles, earthenware, and concrete. This cleaner should not interfere with the various types of concrete and stone (except limestone and marble) commonly encountered in the general building area.
Hydrofluoric Acid
This is the strongest form of acid that we use, its used to melt away carbon deposits on buildings that have carbon build up, these take years to form therefore are only usually found on older brickwork. Very special precautions are used when handling this acid, knowledge is key.
Storage and Safety Concerns
Hydrofluoric acid is corrosive and readily destroys tissue and bone. HF readily penetrates human skin, allowing it to destroy soft tissues underneath and to decalcify bone (hypocalcemea). HF is moderately corrosive to metals and will dissolve glass – hydrofluoric acid must not be stored in glass bottles.
Skin exposure to concentrated HF (49% or greater) immediately results in serious and painful destruction of tissue. One of HF’s most insidious properties is that skin contact at lower concentrations may not produce pain or burning sensations until hours after the exposure. Because of the ability of HF to produce severe delayed tissue damage without producing pain, all skin, eye, or tissue contact with HF should receive immediate first aid and medical evaluation, even if the injury appears minor or no pain is felt.
Inhaling HF vapours can seriously damage the lungs. Delayed reactions up to and including fatal pulmonary edema (flooding of the lungs with body fluids) may not be apparent for hours after the initial exposure. Airborne concentrations of 10 to 15 ppm will irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Thirty ppm is considered immediately dangerous to life and health and may have irreversible health effects. At airborne concentrations above 50 ppm, even brief exposure may be fatal. All operations involving HF must be conducted in an exhausting hood.
Any space using HF should be clearly labelled throughout the process. The ‘Hydrofluoric Acid In Use’ sign should not be removed until work has been completed and the area has been cleaned

excellent service provided by the lads. James cleared my graffiti in no time and Scott & Paul were all over the gutter cleaning and jetting. The lads had a very professional approach and pleasing manner about them. I would definitely recommend using them.

Used CCWC for a job on our house that we had struggled to resolve for over a year with nobody else being able to do it. CCWC told us from the start this was something they could do and didn’t let us down. The job was done to a very high standard and exactly what we needed, taking away all the stress we had previously had. Definitely recommend and would 100% use their services again.

The team removed the plastic masonry paint from my house revealing the lovely brickwork and bath stone using the DOFF steam method. They were punctual, friendly and very tidy. It’s a messy job but they took time to clean my garden, my neighbours and the street out front. Would definitely recommend!

Don't bother wasting your time, we have a commercial property to be professionally cleaned in Pontypridd and I have been calling them since 6th Oct and every time I manage to speak to Lee Clark I have been given different stories, first I was told that he was going to be away and booked the job for 25th Oct this came and went but no sign of him so I called again on 16th Nov, first he had forgotten completely about it however he assured me that he was going to a conference the next day and will call me back on Monday 20th Nov. I am still waiting for that call. I have no intention of wasting anymore time as this people have no intention of doing any work.

We contacted CCWC services because we had just got a new 25,000sqft Warehouse that needed cleaning. The new Warehouse consisted of 3 large warehouses knocked into 1 large Warehouse. Each Warehouse had white panels all the way around that had collected so much dust, grease & dirt. I contacted CCWC and I heard back from them the same day and we arranged a meeting. I was met at the Warehouse by a lovely gentleman who was super helpful and explained in details what they would do to achieve best results. When the quote was agreed a booking was made to have a team on sight to have the work done. The two gentlemen who came on sight to do the work were again so helpful, so kind and very good working guys. They managed to finish the job in a couple of days and the outcome was stunning. I was very shocked to see the huge difference the clean had made. The panels come up like new and all the walls/panels were dust, grease and dirt free. So I was a happy lady. The whole round service from the company was 10/10 from start to finish. I would highly recommend this company for any industrial cleaning like I had. I have certainly kept this team in my "save" file as I wouldn’t hesitate in using them again. Thank you for all your hard work. Karen
