Why Oldham & Saddleworth Properties Need Specialist Blast Cleaning
Oldham is Pennine millstone-grit at its most dramatic: cotton-mill chimneys against the hillside, gritstone terraces stepping up Werneth and Glodwick, and — over the hill — the distinctive dark stone cottages of the Saddleworth villages. Saddleworth stone tends to be denser and less absorbent than typical mill-town gritstone, and it wants a different pressure and dwell time.

Frequently Asked Questions — Oldham & Saddleworth
Is Saddleworth stone treated differently from Oldham town-centre brick?
Yes. Saddleworth stone is a hard, dark, weathered grit that generally takes a slightly firmer soda or fine abrasive pass than the softer sandstone civic buildings in Oldham town centre. We test on an unobtrusive patch first and settle the method before we quote the whole job.
Do you cover the Saddleworth villages (Delph, Diggle, Uppermill) as well as Oldham?
Yes. Uppermill, Delph, Diggle, Dobcross, Denshaw and Greenfield are all covered at the same rate as central Oldham, Chadderton, Royton, Failsworth and Shaw.
