Salt-loaded plinth treated with detergent dwell and a hot rinse.

Local pressure washing across St Cleer
St Cleer weather does a number on exterior surfaces, and pressure washing is usually the first thing to suffer. Granite and exposed render take a hammering from horizontal Dartmoor rain six months of the year.
Why St Cleer matters for this kind of work
St Cleer weather does a number on exterior surfaces, and pressure washing is usually the first thing to suffer. Granite and exposed render take a hammering from horizontal Dartmoor rain six months of the year.
Old copper-mining village on the southern skirts of Bodmin Moor, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. Most weeks we're up and down the local lanes off A38 between St Cleer and the next booking.

How we'd approach this in St Cleer
- 1Detergent dwell before any pressure on stone walls common to granite cottages and Victorian miners' housing
- 2Lower pressure and a fan tip on softer surfaces typical of moorland village layouts in PL14
- 3Surface-by-surface order so the elevation most visible from Liskeard is done first
- 4Final rinse from the high side so debris flushes downhill on sloped St Cleer sites
- 5Salt-loaded surfaces hot-washed twice on very-exposed elevations in St Cleer
