Case Study: Biostrip Concrete Remover at a construction site

A mid-sized construction company was contracted to complete a series of new-build residential homes in central Manchester. During the exterior finishing phase, excess mortar and concrete splashes were discovered on the brick façades and stone paving of several properties.

Challenge:
Manual cleaning methods were proving time-consuming and inconsistent. Additionally, traditional acid-based cleaners posed a risk to the metal window frames and raised health and safety concerns due to strong fumes and environmental impact.

Solution:
The company trialled Biostrip Concrete Remover after a recommendation from their supplier. They used it on brickwork, paving stones, and around sensitive metal fixtures such as external vents and steel trims.

Application:
The product was sprayed directly onto the affected areas. After allowing 15 minutes of dwell time, the softened concrete was removed using brushes and pressure washers. Minimal effort was required, and the product proved safe on all treated surfaces.

Results:

• Cleaning time reduced by 40% compared to manual scraping.
• No visible damage to metal or discolouration of tiles.
• Site operatives reported a better working environment due to the lack of harsh fumes.
• Post-cleaning inspections showed a consistent, professional finish on all surfaces.
