Typical problems on Salcombe properties

  • Decking turning slippery green every shoulder season at Salcombe's very-exposed exposure
  • Outdoor kitchen and BBQ areas grease-loaded on Victorian villas and harbourside cottages
  • Concrete paths going dark green where they pass under shrub cover in Salcombe
  • Garage door bottoms staining where splash-back hits them along A381
  • Composite cladding clouded by algae across newer harbour town stock

The method that suits Salcombe

  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 Victorian villas and harbourside cottages
  3. 3Drain protection in place before trigger pulls - matters near A381 run-off
  4. 4Surface-by-surface order so the elevation most visible from Kingsbridge is done first
  5. 5Pressure dialled down at the perimeter to protect lawn edges on harbour town gardens

Comparable pressure washing we've done lately

Composite decking + glass balustrade

Slippery green film lifted with cold-wash and fan tip; balustrade rinsed clean of detergent.

Brick boundary wall + steps

South-facing brick brought back two shades; steps degreased after years of foot traffic.

Tropical hardwood decking, large rear

Worked along the grain, oiled by the customer two days later, no fibre raising.
