At Tripleclean Gang, we offer a range of cleaning services aimed at tackling stains and surfaces which need protection. We aim to offer a naturally clean and fresh looking finish for every surface.
We offer a TORC cleaning service for homes, commercial properties and historic buildings. This stone cleaning process is the preferred method of many councils and bodies for property cleaning, especially with old or historic stone surfaces.
TORC cleaning is a highly effective and innovative method of cleaning and restoring the appearance of various types of masonry, such as brick, stone, and concrete. It uses a specialised TORC cleaning system, which combines low-pressure water, air, and a gentle abrasive media to clean and remove dirt, grime, paint, and other pollutants from the surface without causing any damage or erosion.
High pressure air and damaging chemicals harm property, but we offer gentle removal of stains and we're adept at caring for delicate surfaces. When it comes to cleaning, the TORC system is ideal.
The TORC cleaning system's power comes from a compressor that propels a mixture of water and abrasive media, such as calcium carbonate, through a nozzle at a controlled pressure. The abrasive media gently removes the contaminants through "juxtaposition," wherein the abrasive particles collide with the dirt or paint on the surface, loosening and removing the offending material. The gentle swirling vortex acts as a carrier for the abrasive media and rinses away the debris, leaving the surface clean and refreshed.

One of the critical advantages of TORC cleaning is that it is a gentle and non-destructive cleaning method that does not damage the underlying masonry. Unlike traditional high-pressure washing or sandblasting, which can cause erosion or damage, TORC is safe for use on delicate and historic masonry structures and modern buildings.
The TORC system is also highly versatile and can clean various masonry surfaces, including brick, stone, concrete, terracotta, and more. It can effectively remove many contaminants, including dirt, grime, algae, moss, paint, carbon deposits, and pollutants. It is ideal for cleaning and restoring various materials, from historic buildings to contemporary structures.
In addition to its gentle and effective cleaning capabilities, TORC is also an environmentally friendly option. The abrasive media used in the process comes from natural materials, such as calcium carbonate, which is biodegradable and does not harm the environment. The low-pressure water used in the process also minimises water usage, ensuring TORC cleaning work leaves buildings in pristine condition.
At Tripleclean Gang, we have invested in the latest technology and leading products, including the TORC system, to ensure we provide our clients with the best possible cleaning solutions.
Our skilled and trained technicians have considerable experience in using TORC cleaning to achieve great success with various masonry brick and stone while prioritising the surface's and the environment's safety.
As a specialist cleaning company offering TORC cleaning services, the Tripleclean Gang workflow involves the following steps:
We start by thoroughly assessing the brickwork or material that needs cleaning. This work includes evaluating the surface type, the extent of contamination or damage, and any specific requirements or concerns the client raises.
Based on the assessment, we provide a detailed proposal and quotation to the client, outlining the scope of work, the timeline, and the cost involved.
Before the TORC cleaning process, we take necessary precautions to protect surrounding areas, such as covering nearby vegetation, windows, and other sensitive areas.
Our trained technicians use the TORC cleaning system, which includes the TORC machine, a compressor, and the appropriate abrasive media for the specific we work on. The technician carefully controls the pressure and abrasive media to ensure safe and effective cleaning.
After the TORC cleaning process, we assess the results to ensure we achieve the desired level of cleanliness. Our trained operators perform additional cleaning or touch-up work to provide the best possible outcome.
Once the TORC cleaning process is complete, we conduct a final inspection to ensure that the work meets our high-quality standards. We then seek client approval and satisfaction with the results.
We thoroughly clean up the work site, removing any debris or equipment used during the TORC cleaning process and restoring the site to its original condition.
We provide the client with detailed documentation and reporting, including before-and-after photos, to showcase the results of the TORC cleaning process and provide a record of the work performed.
We may provide recommendations for post-cleaning maintenance, such as applying protective coatings or implementing preventive measures to prolong the cleanliness and durability of the masonry. We also offer follow-up services and maintenance programs to ensure everything remains in excellent condition.
The main components of a TORC cleaning system typically include:
TORC machine: This specialist piece of equipment generates air, water, and granulation vortex. It typically consists of a control unit, a compressor, a water pump, and a mixing unit.
Nozzle: The TORC system uses a specially designed nozzle connected to the TORC machine. The nozzle directs the mixture of air, water, and granulate onto the surface to be cleaned, creating the swirling vortex that removes the contaminants.
Safe inert fine granulate: The fine inert granulate used in TORC cleaning is a fine abrasive material that varies in composition depending on the type of surface and the level of cleaning required. Commonly used granulate materials include calcium carbonate, calcium silicate, and baking soda.
Compressed air and water supply: The TORC machine requires an air source and a water supply. These are typically provided through external connections to ensure a continuous supply during the cleaning process.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): TORC cleaning may require the use of PPE such as goggles, gloves, and protective clothing to ensure the safety of the operators and bystanders during the cleaning process.
It's important to note that TORC cleaning requires specialist equipment and training for safe and effective use. By hiring Tripleclean Gang, you benefit from our expertise, experience, and equipment to achieve the best results and prevent any potential damage.
It is possible to view TORC cleaning as an evolution of Jos cleaning. Both cleaning methods work on the same principle of using fine granules and a swirling motion, but Jos cleaning uses considerably more water. This makes the popular Jos system less practical and environmentally friendly.
A huge factor in the popularity of the TORC system is the wide range of buildings you can clean safely with it, including masonry, historic buildings, facades, cladding, monuments and more.
