Pressure Washing that suits Hooe

There's a reason pressure washing sits near the top of every Hooe homeowner's list once spring arrives. Salt-loaded south-westerlies drive everything into the windward elevations and leave a film the rain doesn't budge.

What's actually different about Hooe

There's a reason pressure washing sits near the top of every Hooe homeowner's list once spring arrives. Salt-loaded south-westerlies drive everything into the windward elevations and leave a film the rain doesn't budge.

Wraps around Hooe Lake and looks onto Cattewater, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. Working out of PL9 we're rarely more than 3.2 miles from a Hooe job.

What good pressure washing looks like here

  1. 1Detergent dwell before any pressure on stone walls common to 1930s bungalows and post-war semis
  2. 2Drain protection in place before trigger pulls - matters near A379 run-off
  3. 3Surface-by-surface order so the elevation most visible from Plymstock is done first
  4. 4Grout joints checked before any pressure on flagged areas of 1930s bungalows and post-war semis
  5. 5Salt-loaded surfaces hot-washed twice on exposed elevations in Hooe

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Hooe properties we treat have painted render and pebbledash walls and a concrete tile and slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.

  • Method

    5 GPM hot-water machine - heat dialled to the surface, important on painted render and pebbledash

  • Method

    Biodegradable degreaser for oil and traffic film along A379

  • Method

    Drain covers and gully gratings deployed before any trigger pull on coastal village layouts

  • Method

    Hot wash with detergent dwell for the exposed-loaded hard surfaces in Hooe

Typical problems on Hooe properties

  • Garden walls and outbuildings on 1930s bungalows and post-war semis losing finish under algae
  • Slimy stone steps on coastal village layouts where they shade out
  • Outdoor kitchen and BBQ areas grease-loaded on 1930s bungalows and post-war semis
  • Garage door bottoms staining where splash-back hits them along A379
  • Retaining walls heavy with green growth in Hooe's exposed air
