Guys, When the stonemasons were doing the stone it left a stain on our black soffit, any ideas how I could remove it? Cheers

Remove the heavy mortar with a scraper or wire brush, then wash the remainder off with Santrax solution.

You may want to test the Santrax on a small part of your soffit first to make sure that it won't make matters worse. It is diluted hydrochloric acid I think. You'll need heavy-duty gloves & goggles just to be on the safe side.

Most hardware stores stock it.

Just be sure to test it first to make sure that it doesn't melt your windows!
