Project Manager

Purple Rhino

Client Requirement

The main building and Pullman carriages had become covered in moss and algae which over time was affecting the quality of the paintwork. The beautiful building and carriages were almost completely covered in a green hue and did not look as they should do.

Project Solution

Purple Rhino were able to provide the client with a one stop solution.

After an initial survey was conducted it was discovered that guttering had become full and were over flowing thus creating part of the problem of algae growing on the external walls of the building. Huge trees in the immediate vicinity were also helping moss and algae’s to grow.

Main Building

By cleaning out the gutters and gently washing the painted woodwork with purified water the building was soon clean and in pristine condition.

Pullman Carriages

The special membranes on the roof were in need of a delicate and safe clean, using special techniques we soon had them looking like new again.
