Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Tideford properties we treat have granite and painted render walls and a Cornish slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.

  • Method

    5 GPM hot-water machine - heat dialled to the surface, important on granite and painted render

  • Method

    Range of nozzles from 0° to 65° - the right tip for rural village hard surfaces

  • Method

    Biodegradable degreaser for oil and traffic film along A38

  • Method

    Drain covers and gully gratings deployed before any trigger pull on rural village layouts

Typical problems on Tideford properties

  • Brick boundary walls along A38 carrying years of road film
  • Garden walls and outbuildings on stone cottages and roadside terraces losing finish under algae
  • Fence panels and pergolas left to weather-bake at Tideford's exposed
  • Concrete paths going dark green where they pass under shrub cover in Tideford
  • Garage door bottoms staining where splash-back hits them along A38
