What's actually different about Roborough
There's a reason patios & driveways sits near the top of every Roborough homeowner's list once spring arrives. Septic-served properties make it worth thinking about runoff before any cleaning starts.
Strung along the A386 between Plymouth and Dartmoor, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. We tend to batch Roborough bookings with jobs in Derriford the same week.

- 5Tyre-rub zones double-passed on driveways serving older cottages and ribbon-development semis
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Roborough properties we treat have painted render and stone walls and a slate and concrete tile 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 rural village sites
- Method
Rotary surface cleaner for stripe-free finish on block paving common across older cottages and ribbon-development semis
- Method
Fan-tip cold rinse on Indian sandstone with the pressure dialled for Roborough

Optional breathable acrylic sealer - lasts longer at Roborough's exposed exposure
Typical problems on Roborough properties
- Indian sandstone losing colour under a thin algae film at Roborough's exposed
- Sunken joint sand making blocks rock under the car on driveways near A386
- Stripey patches from previous DIY washes - older cottages and ribbon-development semis owners ring us most
- Slippery flagstones around the rear of the house on rural village layouts
- Cobbled aprons holding moss in joints all winter on older cottages and ribbon-development semis
