Pressure Washing - covering Stonehouse and the PL1 area
Owning a place in Stonehouse means accepting that pressure washing is on the maintenance list — the question is just how often. Slate fronts and painted renders sit side by side along the same street, and each wants its own approach.

How we'd approach this in Stonehouse

- 2Detergent dwell before any pressure on stone walls common to Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces
- 3Pressure dialled down at the perimeter to protect lawn edges on urban terrace gardens
- 4Final rinse from the high side so debris flushes downhill on sloped Stonehouse sites
- 5Salt-loaded surfaces hot-washed twice on exposed elevations in Stonehouse
