Why Blackburn with Darwen Properties Need Specialist Blast Cleaning
Blackburn's mill-town core is a mix of gritty sandstone civic architecture, Blackburn Cathedral's pale local stone, and mile upon mile of dense Victorian terrace brick. Darwen adds hillside gritstone cottages and the landmark Jubilee Tower on Darwen Hill. The rule of thumb round here: soft dressed sandstone wants superheated steam, mill-brick wants low-pressure soda or a fine abrasive, and painted terraces need a chemical soak before any blast at all.
