Why we built a Landrake page for pressure washing
Most pressure washing jobs we book in Landrake come from owners who've put it off one winter too long. A38-side village between Saltash and the Lynher, which shapes how pressure washing on granite and painted render and Cornish slate actually plays out around PL12.
Granite, cob and lime-rendered cottages all need handling differently from a modern render. Crews are based 7.7 miles away in PL3, so callouts to Landrake are short. Exposure here is exposed - 7.7 miles from our PL3 base makes turnaround short.
Ridge tile re-bedding and any other small remedial work is quoted separately, never bundled into the wash price. Boundary walls, garage doors and bin stores usually get added to bigger visits at cost, not full rates. Parking is where a lot of jobs go slow, so we ask about it up front rather than turn up and hope. Small jobs get done in the gap between larger jobs, which is why one-off cleans aren't more expensive here. Sub-zero mornings we wait until 10am to start softwash — the biocide simply doesn't work well below freezing. Waste from moss removal gets bagged, weighed and taken to a licensed green-waste facility. Copper sulphate never touches a roof we clean — it stains tiles and kills nothing worth killing. Runoff is diverted with drain bungs where soakaways feed straight into wildlife ponds. We keep bookings deliberately short in summer so a hot week doesn't back the diary up for a month. We priority-book care-home and rental customers because their timelines are usually tightest. Small drone footage is available on request for high-level roof inspections without ladder time. The kit list gets photographed on setup so nothing accidentally leaves site in the wrong van. Traffic-film patches on driveways get a hot detergent pre-wash before any surface cleaner touches them. The office answers between eight and seven six days a week — we don't hide behind an inbox. If a job goes wrong we say so on the invoice and we credit it — nothing gets buried.
