Hellifield War Memorial restored using state-of-the-art cleaning technology
ThermaTech was used to restore a treasured local war memorial to its former glory.
Building conservation experts at Stone Edge restored Hellifield War Memorial, in North Yorkshire, which commemorates local residents who were killed or missing in World War I and World War II.
The Problem
The stone had acquired a build up pollutants and dirt over time.
Work on the Hellifield Memorial was carried out in 2012, with several other programmed between May and November in readiness for our National Day of Remembrance in November. The restoration was completed in preparation for the 100 year anniversary of World War I in 2014.

The Solution
The monument was restored with ThermaTech superheated water cleaner. The ThermaTech system was used for stone cleaning by removing pollutants and dirt build as well as being highly effective in removing soot and grease, oil and organic matter from a wide range of materials.
Unlike conventional pressure washers, the system combines high temperature and pressure with low water volume, providing a ‘superheated’ liquid spray at 150°C. It also uses less water than conventional pressure washers.
