Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Ringmore properties we treat have cob and lime render walls and a thatch and natural 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 coastal village sites
- Method
Rotary surface cleaner for stripe-free finish on block paving common across thatched cottages and stone farmhouses
- Method
Optional breathable acrylic sealer - lasts longer at Ringmore's exposed exposure
- Method
Pattern-imprinted concrete re-sealed in the same visit - useful on coastal village layouts
