What we see on South Brent properties

If the pressure washing at your South Brent property has started looking tired, you're not alone. Listed and locally listed properties need a softwash approach by default, never a high-pressure rinse.

Small Dartmoor-edge town on the Avon just off the A38, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. Most weeks we're up and down the A38 between South Brent and the next booking.

What good pressure washing looks like here

  1. 1Lower pressure and a fan tip on softer surfaces typical of market town layouts in TQ10
  2. 2Drain protection in place before trigger pulls - matters near A38 run-off
  3. 3Grout joints checked before any pressure on flagged areas of Victorian terraces and granite cottages
  4. 4Final rinse from the high side so debris flushes downhill on sloped South Brent sites
  5. 5Salt-loaded surfaces hot-washed twice on exposed elevations in South Brent
