Why we built a Polperro page for pressure washing

The best time to book pressure washing in Polperro is the same week you start thinking about it. Houses overlooking the harbour cop salt, diesel and gull droppings in one continuous coat.

Working harbour village in a tight Cornish combe, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. We're frequently in and around PL13, so booking-day flexibility is easier than people expect.

What good pressure washing looks like here

  1. 1Hot wash on greasy areas - useful around the bin store on harbour town properties
  2. 2Detergent dwell before any pressure on stone walls common to whitewashed fishermen's cottages and cliff-cut terraces
  3. 3Lower pressure and a fan tip on softer surfaces typical of harbour town layouts in PL13
  4. 4Final rinse from the high side so debris flushes downhill on sloped Polperro sites
  5. 5Salt-loaded surfaces hot-washed twice on very-exposed elevations in Polperro

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Polperro 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 harbour town hard surfaces

  • Method

    Drain covers and gully gratings deployed before any trigger pull on harbour town layouts

  • Method

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

What usually triggers the call in Polperro

  • Fence panels and pergolas left to weather-bake at Polperro's very-exposed
  • Concrete paths going dark green where they pass under shrub cover in Polperro
  • Garage door bottoms staining where splash-back hits them along A387
  • Composite cladding clouded by algae across newer harbour town stock
  • Retaining walls heavy with green growth in Polperro's very-exposed air
