What's actually different about Millbrook

There's a reason pressure washing sits near the top of every Millbrook homeowner's list once spring arrives. Boat owners and second-home owners want a clean that lasts the full season without callbacks.

Sat on Millbrook Lake at the south end of the Rame Peninsula, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. Most weeks we're up and down the B3247 between Millbrook and the next booking.

What good pressure washing looks like here

  1. 1Hot wash on greasy areas - useful around the bin store on estuary village properties
  2. 2Detergent dwell before any pressure on stone walls common to traditional cottages and older terraces
  3. 3Pressure dialled down at the perimeter to protect lawn edges on estuary village gardens
  4. 4Detergent pre-spray on shaded fences typical of estuary village layouts
  5. 5Final rinse from the high side so debris flushes downhill on sloped Millbrook sites

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Millbrook properties we treat have painted render and natural 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 render and natural stone

  • Method

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

  • Method

    Biodegradable degreaser for oil and traffic film along B3247

  • Method

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

Typical problems on Millbrook properties

  • Brick boundary walls along B3247 carrying years of road film
  • Garden walls and outbuildings on traditional cottages and older terraces losing finish under algae
  • Fence panels and pergolas left to weather-bake at Millbrook's very-exposed
  • Pool surrounds and hot-tub decks slippery from algal film on traditional cottages and older terraces
  • Retaining walls heavy with green growth in Millbrook's very-exposed air
