Restorative Techniques

Practical Effective Solutions - Supplied & Supported with Genuine Technical Expertise

 

Restorative Techniques is an innovative supplier of products and systems used in restoration, cleaning, paint and coating removal projects, for the maintenance, conservation and refurbishment of all buildings, including listed structures and heritage sites, all fully supported with genuine technical expertise to help and assist successful project results.

 

We have considerable, technical and practical experience within the surface conservation and restoration fields, yet we remain totally realistic, recognising that however productive an ‘established’ item of equipment is, it is still distinctly possible to make further improvements and produce something ‘even better’.

 

Using ‘genuine’ expertise, we have focused on the ever increasing site requirements and needs of the marketplace, by designing a new generation of systems - still very dedicated to sensitive cleaning, but better designed to be used ‘on site‘ and better designed for the operators who have to use them. Close attention has been given to make our new equipment more portable and reliable than ever before. We have set new standards of efficiency in set up, adjustment and movement of equipment around the scaffold and to and from site. The demands of health and safety, risk assessment, COSHH have all made their mark on the standard of these new machines, whilst we have worked even further on improving the controllability and quality of the result.

 

With environmental considerations and corporate responsibility in mind, we have also designed our new systems to be capable of being repeatedly reconfigured, by utilising a more flexible and modular machinery arrangement. Our systems are constructed for durability and by taking inspiration from the cradle to cradle and cradle to grave concepts, we can ensure our systems can be recommissioned and serviced for longevity, as opposed to machinery that is assembled and designed for limited life, then disposal. We have work hard to ensure that these machines are as productive and efficient as possible, in both energy and water consumption, for example, we are using high efficiency electric motors as standard, or alternatively economical air powered options when we manufacture the systems.

 

Restorative Techniques should not be regarded as a new supplier, having been started by Jamie Fairchild. Jamie held the long term role of Technical Director at Stonehealth supplying the Jos, Torc and Doff systems and he was also directly responsible for the majority of site reports, technical information, advice and support that the company provided.

Restorative Techniques supplies machinery and products for the safe and effective conservation and restoration of surfaces and substrates, within the wide range of architectural and industrial applications.

Restorative Techniques

VorTech (VorTechnique)vortech
Swirling, gentle vortex abrasive system offered in a variety of options and descended from the well known Jos system. We have incorporated a large number of considerable improvements into VorTech, including versions allowing the operator remote control adjustment of the air and granulate flows, offering even further advantages than ‘established’ systems, including more effective use of water and reduced granulatejos wastage. The system uses swirling vortex type nozzles, in sizes ranging from 9.5 down to the small Jos Piccolo of 3mm.

ThermaTech (ThemaTechnique)
Modular range of machinery that develops vortechsuperheated water capable of tasks such as paint removal. ThermaTech is not a single machine, it is about modular design. Depending on the specification, connect the pump, boiler and accessory for the task this system is about versatility & portability. Lock together ‘all-in-one’, mount on a skid, or on wheels, or separate to carry through a building and easier van loading and offloading. Safety in 230/110v options and red hosing to signify the use of hot water. Reliability & servicing – dual temperature controls, operator diagnostics, 24 volt controls, jerrycan fuel tank.
Both Systems Available for Sale & Controlled Hire
