In short: We do laser cleaning in Poznań, the Poznań county and across Greater Poland. Our head office is in Plewiska near Poznań, so we bring the laser to sites in the city, and smaller items can be brought to us. We remove paint, rust, soot and deposits from brick, wood, stone, sandstone and metal, without sandblasting and without chemicals. Before a quote we test a sample.
Where do we work in Poznań and the surrounding area?
We work across Poznań and in the municipalities of the Poznań county, and in Greater Poland we travel to every town. The company head office is at ul. Rzemieślnicza 18 in Plewiska, right by the western edge of Poznań, so getting to a site in the city usually takes a quarter of an hour to half an hour. For larger jobs we also travel across Poland, and in the Inowrocław, Bydgoszcz and Toruń region we work from our branch in Topola (more: laser cleaning in Inowrocław, Bydgoszcz and Toruń).
What do clients from Poznań come to us with?
Most often brick facades and details in older buildings, wood in tenements and houses under renovation, and metal in plants and workshops. Poznań has many pre-war tenements and brick buildings, for example in Jeżyce, Łazarz, Wilda and around the Old Market, and the industrial areas and surrounding municipalities host many plants where rust and old paint are an everyday matter.
- Brick and facades: soot, black deposits, graffiti and old paint on walls that cannot take sandblasting or pressure washing.
- Wood: ceiling beams, stairs, doors, windows and joinery painted several times, which have to be uncovered without sanding down the profiles.
- Sandstone and stone: architectural details, portals, cornices and church elements.
- Metal: steel structures, machines and production parts with rust and paint, often to be cleaned without dismantling.
Details of individual services are on the pages brick and facade cleaning, wood cleaning, sandstone restoration and rust and paint removal.
Who do we work for in Poznań?
Most often we work as a subcontractor for renovation, conservation and construction companies that run a contract in Poznań or Greater Poland and need the laser part of the scope. We come on site with our own equipment, qualifications and health and safety documentation, and work to the contractor’s schedule. We also work directly for industrial companies and for managers and owners of buildings, and for historic buildings usually through the conservator or a renovation company.
For historic buildings the scope and method of cleaning are set by the conservator in charge, and a building entered in the register of monuments requires the permission of the provincial monument conservator. We carry out the laser cleaning according to those decisions.
What equipment do we work with?
We have two kinds of lasers, chosen to suit the material and the scale of the job. Pulsed lasers of 300-1000 W are for precise and conservation work, on details and delicate surfaces, where the coating is removed layer by layer. Continuous-wave (CW) lasers of 2000-6000 W are for larger industrial surfaces and steel structures. We hold a laser safety officer certificate and qualifications for work at height.
What does a job in Poznań look like?
A job starts with photos and ends with a clean surface handed over.
- Send a photo of the surface, close up and from a distance. We reply the same or the next business day.
- Sample test: we come and clean a small area. You see the result on your own material, and we measure the working time.
- Quote and date: you get the rate and a realistic completion time.
- Work: on site, or at our place if the item can be dismantled and brought to Plewiska.
How much does laser cleaning in Poznań cost?
We charge for the work of a laser system with an operator from PLN 250 net per hour (continuous CW laser) and from PLN 380 net per hour (pulsed laser), and less on longer projects. We do not give a price per square metre without seeing the surface, because the same material can take twice as long depending on what is on it and for how long. That is why we run a sample test before quoting. More in the article how much does laser cleaning cost.
