Kingsand's pressure washing specialists

There's a reason pressure washing sits near the top of every Kingsand 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 Kingsand

There's a reason pressure washing sits near the top of every Kingsand 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.

Rame Peninsula village facing Plymouth Sound across the water, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. We're frequently in and around PL10, so booking-day flexibility is easier than people expect.

What good pressure washing looks like here

  1. 1Detergent dwell before any pressure on stone walls common to painted cottages and cliff-cut terraces
  2. 2Drain protection in place before trigger pulls - matters near local lanes off B3247 run-off
  3. 3Surface-by-surface order so the elevation most visible from Cawsand is done first
  4. 4Pressure dialled down at the perimeter to protect lawn edges on coastal village gardens
  5. 5Grout joints checked before any pressure on flagged areas of painted cottages and cliff-cut terraces

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Kingsand properties we treat have painted lime render and stone walls and a Cornish 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 lime render and stone

  • Method

    Range of nozzles from 0° to 65° - the right tip for coastal village hard surfaces

  • Method

    Biodegradable degreaser for oil and traffic film along local lanes off B3247

  • Method

    Composite, hardwood and softwood decking all done with grain-aligned passes - common on painted cottages and cliff-cut terraces

Typical problems on Kingsand properties

  • Garden walls and outbuildings on painted cottages and cliff-cut terraces losing finish under algae
  • Fence panels and pergolas left to weather-bake at Kingsand's very-exposed
  • Outdoor kitchen and BBQ areas grease-loaded on painted cottages and cliff-cut terraces
  • Concrete paths going dark green where they pass under shrub cover in Kingsand
  • Pool surrounds and hot-tub decks slippery from algal film on painted cottages and cliff-cut terraces
