Render plinth + outbuilding
Salt-loaded plinth treated with detergent dwell and a hot rinse.
Cornwall
Local pressure washing across St Germans
There's a reason pressure washing sits near the top of every St Germans homeowner's list once spring arrives. Slate, stone and lime render all want a softer hand than the standard pressure wash.
What's actually different about St Germans
There's a reason pressure washing sits near the top of every St Germans homeowner's list once spring arrives. Slate, stone and lime render all want a softer hand than the standard pressure wash.
On the Lynher tidal creek beside the Port Eliot estate, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. Most weeks we're up and down the local lanes off A38 between St Germans and the next booking.
What good pressure washing looks like here
- 1Hot wash on greasy areas - useful around the bin store on estuary village properties
- 2Lower pressure and a fan tip on softer surfaces typical of estuary village layouts in PL12
- 3Surface-by-surface order so the elevation most visible from Saltash is done first
- 4Pressure dialled down at the perimeter to protect lawn edges on estuary village gardens
- 5Final rinse from the high side so debris flushes downhill on sloped St Germans sites
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most St Germans properties we treat have granite and lime render walls and a Cornish slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.

Hot wash with detergent dwell for the exposed-loaded hard surfaces in St Germans
Typical problems on St Germans properties
