Hey guys, would anyone know what this sentence means? Is it maybe an expression 'teann-ghlanadh'?

Bha na ballachan air an teann-ghlanadh.

Context? Is it possible you're hearing t-seann something?

It is written down and that was the full sentence. :S

27 Jul 2015 - Bha cuideachd na ballachan air an teann-ghlanadh, agus ri taobh gach dorais, bha intercoms nach leigeadh eucorach a-steach. B' aocoltach ...

Seo eisimpleir bhon sgeulachd ‘Clàradh’: ‘Bha an teanamaint seo glè choltach ri gin sam bith ann an Dùn Èideann san robh an t-obair-chlas a’ fuireach. B’ e an t-eadar-dhealachadh gun robh sgàileanan ioma-dhathach no nàdar de shlatan bambù ann an stoidhle Shìonach ris na h-uinneagan. Bha cuideachd na ballachan air an teann-ghlanadh, agus ri taobh gach dorais, bha intercoms nach leigeadh eucorach a-steach. B’ aocoltach na togalaichean ann an sheo ris na bruchlagan bochda le sgàilein robach ann an stoidhle Venice agus na dorsa grànda, briste, ri aghaidh nan clobhsaichean salach air Easter Road no ann an Gorgie…’

Maybe sand-blasted?

I don't have the English version of the story here - maybe someone else does, though.

Sounds more like "cleaned hard"

power-cleaning of sandstone buildings generally = sandblasting.
