What Saltash owners ring us about

  • Decking turning slippery green every shoulder season at Saltash's exposed exposure
  • Brick boundary walls along A38 carrying years of road film
  • Render plinths and lower courses on market town properties showing black tide-marks
  • Fence panels and pergolas left to weather-bake at Saltash's exposed
  • Outdoor kitchen and BBQ areas grease-loaded on Victorian terraces in old town and 1970s estates

The method that suits Saltash

  1. 1Hot wash on greasy areas - useful around the bin store on market town properties
  2. 2Detergent dwell before any pressure on stone walls common to Victorian terraces in old town and 1970s estates
  3. 3Lower pressure and a fan tip on softer surfaces typical of market town layouts in PL12
  4. 4Drain protection in place before trigger pulls - matters near A38 run-off
  5. 5Salt-loaded surfaces hot-washed twice on exposed elevations in Saltash
