Ringmore pressure washing, done properly
Owning a place in Ringmore means accepting that pressure washing is on the maintenance list — the question is just how often. Salt-loaded south-westerlies drive everything into the windward elevations and leave a film the rain doesn't budge.

Sheltered thatched village a mile inland from Ayrmer Cove, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. We tend to batch Ringmore bookings with jobs in Bigbury the same week.

- 5Detergent pre-spray on shaded fences typical of coastal village layouts
