Local pressure washing across Roborough
Roborough weather does a number on exterior surfaces, and pressure washing is usually the first thing to suffer. Granite, cob and lime-rendered cottages all need handling differently from a modern render.
Why Roborough matters for this kind of work
Roborough weather does a number on exterior surfaces, and pressure washing is usually the first thing to suffer. Granite, cob and lime-rendered cottages all need handling differently from a modern render.
Strung along the A386 between Plymouth and Dartmoor, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. Most weeks we're up and down the A386 between Roborough and the next booking.
