What's actually different about Callington

There's a reason patios & driveways sits near the top of every Callington homeowner's list once spring arrives. Hilltop positions catch more weather, which means more algae on every sheltered face.

Small east-Cornwall town between the Tamar and Bodmin Moor, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. We're frequently in and around PL17, so booking-day flexibility is easier than people expect.

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Callington properties we treat have granite and painted render walls and a Cornish slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.

  • Method

    Selective biocide pre-treat to kill moss at the root - extra important on exposed market town sites

  • Method

    Fan-tip cold rinse on Indian sandstone with the pressure dialled for Callington

  • Method

    Kiln-dried jointing sand brushed in once the surface is dry on every Callington job

  • Method

    Optional breathable acrylic sealer - lasts longer at Callington's exposed exposure

Typical problems on Callington properties

  • Weeds firing up through joints by April on market town properties
  • Slippery flagstones around the rear of the house on market town layouts
  • Cobbled aprons holding moss in joints all winter on Victorian terraces and granite cottages
  • Resin-bound paths going dark where shade lingers in Callington
  • Garage threshold paving rocking from sand wash-out across market town stock
