Thanks to Adam for arranging and leading the work, and to Eamon who carried it out.

     I came across Marshels website looking for a decorator. They took over wallpapering from another decorator whom I felt was struggling with the job. Marshels contract Manager allocated the job to a very skilled, conscientious, meticulous and considerate staff. A real craftsman. He had to be as the plaster work in my house is not particularly good. The job was done within the timeframe and with great care and consideration for me and my house. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

     We recently used Marshels to repaint and decorate the front of our shop. From start to finish the experience has been exceptional!
Steve initially came out and quoted within a couple of days of my enquiry. The work was carried out within a couple of weeks of proceed. They worked around our closed hours, meaning it didn't affect our working day. The work carried out was to exceptional standard. Steve stayed in touch throughout the project, finishing with a visit to sign the job off.
I can not recommend Marshels enough and I shall be using them in the future for home projects.

Thanks again to all

     We were very pleased with the work which Marshels did in renovating the exterior of our rendered house, and the highly professional approach which was adopted.  Shane and Drew diligently cleared up every day ensuring that there was no mess and kept us informed as to progress.  They went the extra mile in addressing other small issues which arose.  Adam provided managerial oversight of the work and checked that we were happy with the final result.  We would unhesitatingly recommend them and will use them again.

     We employed Marshels to help us carry out a complete refurbishment of a rental property we had purchased in Guildford. We knew that there was a lot of work necessary but Jamie and his team proved to be thorough and professional throughout, providing a very detailed quotation, coordinating the various trades necessary (electricians, plumbers, plasterers etc), and finishing the flat to a very good standard. Whenever there were decisions to be made, Marshels were in touch and responded promptly; we really felt we could trust them to do a good job for us throughout. We will certainly be using Marshels for any future works of this nature and I warmly recommend their services.

FAQs

What is DOFF steam cleaning?

DOFF steam cleaning is a specialised method that uses high-temperature steam to clean and rejuvenate various surfaces, often found on historic buildings and office exteriors. We’d recommend having this cleaning completed by professionals to prevent any damages to delicate building exteriors. Our team can accurately assess the exterior condition, choose the right cleaning parameters, and provide post-cleaning treatments for long-term preservation.

What is the difference between DOFF steam cleaning and pressure washing?

DOFF steam cleaning and traditional pressure washing are both techniques used for surface exterior cleaning, but they differ significantly in their approach and effectiveness. Unlike traditional pressure washing, the DOFF system employs a combination of high-temperature steam and low-pressure water to clean more delicately and effectively. This method not only dislodges dirt and grime but also kills organic growth, such as algae and moss at the root, whilst traditional pressure washing uses high-pressure water alone.

What types of surfaces can be cleaned with the DOFF system?

The DOFF steam cleaning system is versatile and can effectively clean a wide range of surfaces. It can be used to clean surfaces made of various materials, including:

Stone: DOFF is well-suited for stone steam cleaning, particularly surfaces like limestone, sandstone, granite, and marble.
Brick: It can remove dirt, grime, algae, and paint from brick surfaces.
Masonry: DOFF can clean masonry structures, including walls and facades.
Wood: It can be used on wooden surfaces, such as decking and cladding, although careful control of the steam is essential to prevent damage.
Metal: DOFF can clean certain metal surfaces, but the suitability may depend on the specific type of metal and its coating.
Render: It is effective in cleaning render, which is commonly used on home refurbishments.
Graffiti removal: The DOFF system is also used for graffiti removal from a variety of surfaces.

It’s important to consult with a professional DOFF steam cleaning service provider to determine the suitability of the system for your specific cleaning needs and surfaces to ensure safe and effective results.

Is DOFF steam cleaning suitable for both residential and commercial properties?

Yes, DOFF steam cleaning is suitable for both residential and commercial properties. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for a wide range of surfaces and applications. In residential settings, DOFF can effectively clean exterior walls, doors, windows, and more, helping homeowners maintain the appearance and integrity of their properties. In commercial environments, DOFF is equally valuable, as it can clean building facades, monuments and walkways. Whether you have a historical home, a modern office building, or any other structure, DOFF steam cleaning can be tailored to suit your specific needs, providing a thorough and environmentally-friendly cleaning solution for various property types.

How hot does the steam reach during the DOFF cleaning process?

The DOFF steam cleaning process is characterised by its ability to generate high-temperature steam, often exceeding 150°C (300°F). This intense heat plays a crucial role in its efficacy, as it not only removes dirt and grime but also leaves surfaces clean and sanitised.
