Pressure Washing - covering Wembury and the PL9 area
Owning a place in Wembury means accepting that pressure washing is on the maintenance list — the question is just how often. Sea air keeps algae growth wetter for longer, which is why north-facing walls darken so quickly.

How we'd approach this in Wembury
- 1Detergent dwell before any pressure on stone walls common to seafront bungalows and 1960s detached
- 2Lower pressure and a fan tip on softer surfaces typical of coastal village layouts in PL9
- 3Surface-by-surface order so the elevation most visible from Plymstock is done first
- 4Pressure dialled down at the perimeter to protect lawn edges on coastal village gardens
- 5Detergent pre-spray on shaded fences typical of coastal village layouts

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