Materials & methods we'd use here

Most St Cleer properties we treat have granite and lime 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 very-exposed moorland village sites

  • Method

    Rotary surface cleaner for stripe-free finish on block paving common across granite cottages and Victorian miners' housing

  • Method

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

  • Method

    Optional breathable acrylic sealer - lasts longer at St Cleer's very-exposed exposure
