Septic-served properties make it worth thinking about runoff before any cleaning starts. We tend to batch Tamerton Foliot bookings with jobs in Southway the same week. We batch Tamerton Foliot bookings with southway runs along Tamerton Foliot Road.
If we spot something on the visit that's cheaper for you to sort a different way, we'll say so. Callouts get batched into the same run so pricing stays sensible and turnaround stays short. We work the softer end of the pressure range by default, and only step up when a surface genuinely wants it. K-Rend, Weber and silicone-render manufacturers all specify softwash as the correct maintenance method. Biocide runs get re-tested for concentration at the top of every day, not the top of every week. We keep a small stock of common ridge and hip tiles so minor replacements don't hold a job up. Sub-zero mornings we wait until 10am to start softwash — the biocide simply doesn't work well below freezing. Pressure washing patios always finishes with a lawn edge tidy so borders don't end up sanded. Detergent choice depends on substrate, not on habit — we don't run one product for everything. Communication defaults to WhatsApp because photo threads keep quotes and outcomes in one place. For historic properties we send a method statement covering exactly what will and won't be used. We photograph at three points during a wall softwash — plinth, mid-elevation and eaves — for the record. The wall pump gets calibrated at the top of each visit, not once per job — it drifts otherwise. Enquiry-to-quote turnaround is measured weekly and posted on the wall in the yard. The photo pack we send at completion doubles as a maintenance record for your property file.
