Effective Paint Removal Solutions in Gloucester Using Doff
DOFF Removes Paint and Cleans Using High Pressure Steam with 0% damage
DOFF steam cleaning and paint removal is approved by English Heritage and recommended by Architects, Surveyors and Conservation Officers across Gloucester and beyond. Why? DOFF causes 0% damage while safely removing paint and thoroughly cleaning the surface. With its unbeatable technology, it achieves 150 degree temperatures at the nozzle end but the pressure on the surface being cleaned is very gentle and the volume of the water is low. It does not saturate the surface so it dries in minutes.
The superheated water will remove paint, algae, fungi, moss and other matter and kill off spores. There is no need to use a chemical biocide during the removal process or as a protection against future growth.
DOFF technology is rated so highly it is a useful tool for the sterilisation of kitchens, toilets, hospitals, factories and swimming pools.

Thermoplastic Coatings
Acrylic, bitumen, gloss, oil and plastic-based paints are best removed with the DOFF. Depending on the layers of paint, an application of paint softener may be required before the cleaning process thereby reducing the pressure from the DOFF.

Our Patio and Decking looked like new, they also cleaned our garden furniture at no extra cost. I needed to rebook my clean due to unforseen circumstances this was done quickly and professionally. Would definately recommend this company Tim Heywood2025-04-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a lot of fungus/mold on our silicon render which we were unable to remove after trying various cleaning solutions. I was quite concerned that we would have to repaint the render to get it back to looking its best but Skyline Softwash to the rescue! Two gents arrived as scheduled, we walked around the property and they explained the process they were going to use. A few hours later (itβs a big house!) and the render was looking as good as it was when applied! I am seriously impressed. Cost effective, efficient, friendly, and a very impressive company to do business with (calls from the βbossβ to check on everything before, during and after). I highly recommend Skyline Softwash. Thanks. David Wilson2025-04-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Have had moss falling off my roof since I moved into the house in 1988. Finally arranged to have it cleared a couple of weeks ago and was astonished at the difference it made. Not only was the roof completely cleared, but all the paths around the house were cleared of moss and weeds, my splashed windows were cleaned, and my patio is spotless.
