Ivybridge's pressure washing specialists
Owning a place in Ivybridge means accepting that pressure washing is on the maintenance list — the question is just how often. Historic centres mix lime render, granite and Victorian brick in the same elevation — one pressure setting won't do.

How we'd approach this in Ivybridge
- 1Hot wash on greasy areas - useful around the bin store on market town properties
- 2Detergent dwell before any pressure on stone walls common to 1980s–2000s estates and older centre cottages
- 3Drain protection in place before trigger pulls - matters near A38 run-off
- 4Grout joints checked before any pressure on flagged areas of 1980s–2000s estates and older centre cottages
- 5Final rinse from the high side so debris flushes downhill on sloped Ivybridge sites
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Ivybridge properties we treat have render and brick 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 render and brick
- Method
Range of nozzles from 0° to 65° - the right tip for market town hard surfaces
- Method
Biodegradable degreaser for oil and traffic film along A38
- Method
Composite, hardwood and softwood decking all done with grain-aligned passes - common on 1980s–2000s estates and older centre cottages
