DOFF Steam Cleaning Video Showcase – Comprehensive Exterior Restoration (Render • Roof • Stone • Brick • Patio)

In this 7-minute live demonstration you’ll see our heritage-approved DOFF superheated steam cleaning system in action from start to finish.

We begin with a long white rendered wall completely covered in green algae, watching it transform back to bright white as the system sweeps steadily from left to right. The video then moves through a series of real projects in time with the music — roof cleaning, live stone cleaning, stone before-and-after results, brick cleaning, paint removal, and patio cleaning — before returning to the rendered wall as we finish the full length of the elevation.

This single DOFF cleaning video showcases the full range of exterior surfaces we treat — render, roofs, stone, brickwork and patios — and gives you a clear view of the process, control and results you can expect on your own property.

DOFF Steam Cleaning Demonstration – Extreme Swimming Pool Algae Removal & Restoration (Cobham, Surrey)

This DOFF steam cleaning demonstration shows our team carrying out an extreme swimming pool restoration in Cobham, Surrey. The outdoor pool was heavily contaminated with algae, fungi and years of organic buildup, leaving every wall, step and surface completely green and stained.

After safely draining the water, we used the heritage-approved DOFF superheated steam cleaning system to remove thick algae, fungal growth and deep biological contamination without damaging the underlying tiles or concrete. The controlled low-pressure, high-temperature steam lifts even the most stubborn organic matter while keeping delicate surfaces protected.

This video highlights how effective DOFF cleaning is on severely contaminated environments and why it’s trusted for sensitive, delicate and high-risk surfaces across residential and heritage properties.

The DOFF system cleans without the use of chemicals and fully sanitises the surface during the process, helping to slow the return of organic contamination and keeping surfaces cleaner for longer.

These dramatic real-time results show the true cleaning power of the heritage-approved DOFF system, making it ideal for both heritage and modern properties where a safe, controlled and non-abrasive cleaning method is essential.

Patio Cleaning Around Swimming Pools: Safe, Non-Slip & Professional Results

Swimming Pool Surround Cleaning Services

We provide specialist swimming pool surround cleaning services for patios, paving and natural stone around swimming pools. These areas require careful, professional cleaning due to constant moisture, algae growth and surface contamination that can quickly make them slippery and unsafe.

Working across London, Surrey and the Home Counties, every poolside surface is assessed individually to determine the safest and most effective cleaning method — whether that involves DOFF steam cleaning, controlled pressure washing or targeted treatments to remove algae and restore the surface properly.

Patio areas around swimming pools and pool surrounds are one of the most challenging outdoor surfaces to keep clean. Constant moisture, organic growth and regular use create the perfect conditions for algae, staining and slippery surfaces to develop — often without homeowners realising how quickly it builds up.

I’m Frank Bishop, founder of Feel The Pressure UK. With over 15 years’ hands-on experience, I provide specialist poolside patio cleaning services and swimming pool surround cleaning services.

With over 200 verified 5-star customer reviews, I’ve built a reputation for reliable, high-quality patio and poolside cleaning across London, Surrey and the Home Counties.

Using a range of specialist cleaning methods — including DOFF steam cleaning, carefully controlled pressure washing, and targeted professional treatments where appropriate depending on the surface type — I safely clean and restore patios around swimming pools, removing built-up contamination and bringing back the natural colour of the stone without damaging the surface, jointing or surrounding areas.

When you contact Feel The Pressure UK, you deal directly with me — not a sales team or subcontractors. Every poolside patio cleaning project is personally assessed and carried out with a focus on safe, consistent and professional results.

Poolside patios don’t just become unsightly — they can become dangerously slippery. Removing algae and surface contamination properly not only improves appearance but also restores grip underfoot, making the area safer to use.

Removing Exterior Paint from Brickwork Around Window Frames and Bay Windows

Removing paint from brickwork is a highly skilled service that requires specialist knowledge, professional equipment, and years of hands-on experience — especially where paint has been applied right up to window frames or bay windows.

Brickwork around windows is one of the most common areas where damage can be caused during paint removal. Window frames leave little room for error, and different materials respond in different ways to heat and paint-softening chemicals. Bay windows add further complexity, with curved brickwork, tight returns, and multiple surfaces meeting in a small area.

I’m Frank Bishop, lead paint removal specialist at Feel The Pressure UK, and I regularly carry out brick paint removal around windows and bay windows, doors, and other intricate brickwork. I’ve personally restored hundreds of residential properties back to their original brick across London and the surrounding counties. These are jobs where good preparation, the right technique, and experience make all the difference. Whether the frames are uPVC, timber, or metal, a controlled approach helps protect both the brickwork and the surrounding finishes.

In this article, I’ll explain why removing paint from brickwork around windows requires extra care, how different window types are affected, and what’s involved in achieving a clean result without unnecessary risk.

Brick Arch Paint Removal – Case Study

Careful Restoration of Arched Brickwork

Painted brick arches are one of the most commonly mishandled features on older properties. Their curved faces, exposed mortar joints, and often softer bricks mean that aggressive paint removal methods can quickly cause irreversible damage.

This project involved the careful removal of paint from a brick arch using a controlled, step-by-step process designed to protect the brickwork and surrounding surfaces while restoring its original appearance. Rather than relying on high pressure or abrasive techniques, the focus was on preparation, protection, and gentle brick paint removal — an approach particularly well suited to arched and decorative brickwork.

The images below document each stage of the brick arch paint removal process, from the initial condition and protection through to paint softening, steam cleaning, and the final result, where the brick’s natural colour and detail were successfully revealed without surface damage.

What to Expect After Brick Paint Removal

I’m Frank Bishop, founder and lead cleaner at Feel the Pressure UK, and I’ve been providing the very best in brick paint removal, brick cleaning, and brick restoration services for over 15 years.

Over that time, I’ve personally restored hundreds of residential and commercial properties across London, the Home Counties, and surrounding areas — from classic London yellow stocks to delicate soft red rubbers, textured brick, and handmade bricks. We’ve restored them all.

Before starting any full-scale paint removal, I always carry out a detailed inspection and give each customer my honest, experienced opinion on how their brickwork is likely to look once the paint is removed.

If we notice any visible signs of poor-quality restoration work or anything that stands out, we’ll always talk it through with you before any work starts. These can include mismatched pointing styles, heavily filled or over-repaired areas, and patches where damaged brickwork has been hidden under layers of paint.
