Damp morning air rolls up the estuary and sits on shaded elevations for hours, which is exactly what algae needs. If you can see Gunnislake from the end of your road, we cover you. We batch Calstock bookings with gunnislake runs along local lanes off A390.
Payment is only ever after you've seen the photos and signed off, never up front. The single most common feedback we get is that the invoice matches the quote exactly. We work the softer end of the pressure range by default, and only step up when a surface genuinely wants it. We're happy to work weekends when the surface actually wants it, especially for driveway seals. K-Rend, Weber and silicone-render manufacturers all specify softwash as the correct maintenance method. Sealer is optional on stone, and we'll usually recommend skipping it unless the finish specifically wants it. Softwash and pressure washing are two different jobs with two different rigs — we don't try to force one to do the other. Roof re-bed work gets its own dedicated day — nobody wants a wet roof left open overnight. Pressure washing patios always finishes with a lawn edge tidy so borders don't end up sanded. Waste from moss removal gets bagged, weighed and taken to a licensed green-waste facility. Copper sulphate never touches a roof we clean — it stains tiles and kills nothing worth killing. The invoice email includes the biocide safety data sheet and dilution ratio used on your job. First-visit customers get a written surface report at no cost, whether they book more work or not. Rain-day contingency is baked into the price — no extra charge if we come back a second day to finish. The photo pack we send at completion doubles as a maintenance record for your property file.

- Soffit staining where overflow has run all winter on estuary village properties - on granite and painted render - a factor we build into every softwash quote here.
- Joints leaking at the corners under pine-needle compaction on miners' terraces and waterfront cottages - across Cornish slate - worth catching before the next wet stretch.
- Drip-line erosion in borders below the worst-blocked sections in Calstock - on miners' terraces stock - the sort of thing owners notice from the road first.
- Outlet boxes overflowing during Calstock's heaviest very-exposed winter showers - at very exposed exposure - handled from a pole not a ladder wherever we can.
