ThermaTech® system from Restorative Techniques was chosen to remove surface soiling without disturbing the historic treatment of copperas wash at Apsley House in London.

Careful planning was required for deliveries and for the protection of the internal areas of the building. Dust was a particular challenge as there were valuable museum objects to be mindful of.

SSH Conservation hired a ThermaTech® system and later purchased one to clean surface soiling while leaving the copperas wash intact.

The façade and the public rooms were returned to the way they would have looked when the First Duke of Wellington, one of the most famous residents of the building, lived and entertained in his magnificent home known as 'Number 1 London'.
