Salt-loaded south-westerlies drive everything into the windward elevations and leave a film the rain doesn't budge. Most weeks we're up and down the B3247 between Downderry and the next booking. We batch Downderry bookings with hessenford runs along B3247.
Most enquiries we take are from owners who've been thinking about it for a while and finally caught the right week for the weather. Two of us live within twenty minutes of the yard, which is why booking flexibility is easier than customers expect. The van carries hot and cold, softwash rig, vac pole and full drain protection so most jobs don't need a return trip. Ridge tile re-bedding and any other small remedial work is quoted separately, never bundled into the wash price. Windows are usually the entry-point job for new customers, and everything else follows on from that first visit. Second-home owners tend to book us on annual visits with a photo pack rather than being on site. Small jobs get done in the gap between larger jobs, which is why one-off cleans aren't more expensive here. Every visit finishes with a five-minute tidy — sand brushed in, debris bagged, tap turned off. Biocide runs get re-tested for concentration at the top of every day, not the top of every week. The vac pole extends to forty feet which covers the vast majority of domestic three-storey gutter work. We book the last Friday of each month as a catch-up day, so short-notice fixes rarely wait more than a fortnight. Wall softwash finishes with a plinth rinse in every case, which is where the streaks would otherwise settle. The rig gets rinsed after every job so cross-contamination between customers isn't ever a factor. Small drone footage is available on request for high-level roof inspections without ladder time. We keep a spare crown for the surface cleaner in the van because the swivel wears faster than anything else.
Where it usually starts in Downderry
- Overflowing front gutters on every heavy shower - typical of coastal village properties along B3247 - 13.7 miles from PL3 - why photos beat phone tag for this kind of work.
- Downpipe inlets clogged with grit from Cornish slate and concrete tile - common on coastal village stock - at roughly 50.355,-4.377 - a job that suits softwash first, pressure never.
- Fascia greening below gutter line - usually starts on the Hessenford-facing run - on painted render and pebbledash - usually easier once the outside taps are back on in April.
- Drip-line erosion in borders below the worst-blocked sections in Downderry - across Cornish slate and concrete tile - a booking pattern we've settled into over five seasons.
- Half-round gutters sagging where bracket spacing wasn't right on coastal village stock - on cliffside bungalows stock - worth combining with the gutters if they're due at the same time.
