Septic-served properties make it worth thinking about runoff before any cleaning starts. Working out of PL11 we're rarely more than 11.7 miles from a Hessenford job. We batch Hessenford bookings with downderry runs along A387.
We aim to send the written quote inside the same evening you get in touch, and we don't chase you afterwards. We work the softer end of the pressure range by default, and only step up when a surface genuinely wants it. Reviews are on Google, Facebook and Checkatrade — a mix that makes it harder to game the numbers. If your neighbour books at the same time we drop the callout portion — genuinely worth mentioning next door. Detergents are biodegradable and lawns are pre-wetted before biocide goes near anything green. K-Rend, Weber and silicone-render manufacturers all specify softwash as the correct maintenance method. Ridge tile re-bedding and any other small remedial work is quoted separately, never bundled into the wash price. The most common repeat booking pattern we see is roof every three years, gutters every year, walls every two. Parking is where a lot of jobs go slow, so we ask about it up front rather than turn up and hope. Roof access ladders are inspected each morning and swapped out at the first sign of wear. The van livery is deliberately low-key because half the neighbours have booked us the following month. We photograph at three points during a wall softwash — plinth, mid-elevation and eaves — for the record. We keep a spare crown for the surface cleaner in the van because the swivel wears faster than anything else. If a re-clean is needed we book it in rather than debating who was right about the surface. The office answers between eight and seven six days a week — we don't hide behind an inbox.
What Hessenford owners ring us about
- Thick moss on the Downderry-facing slopes of Cornish slate - in the Cornwall Council patch - a factor we build into every softwash quote here.
- Moss lifting individual Cornish slate where bedding mortar has failed - 11.7 miles from PL3 - usually easier once the outside taps are back on in April.
- Roof valleys spilling water sideways during heavy rain in Hessenford - at roughly 50.372,-4.383 - quoted from photos in most cases, no doorstep survey.
- Skylight surrounds collecting moss debris on rural village properties - on granite and painted render - the difference between a two-year finish and a five-year one.
- Roof-vent grilles blocked with bird-and-moss material on stone cottages and roadside inns - across Cornish slate - worth combining with the gutters if they're due at the same time.
How the job would run on your Hessenford property
- 1Mechanical scrape before any softwash, debris bagged - never swept into rural village gutters (at roughly 50.372,-4.383 - quoted from photos in most cases, no doorstep survey).
- 2Biocide concentration set for Cornish slate rather than a one-size mix (on granite and painted render - the difference between a two-year finish and a five-year one).
- 3Harness anchor verified before anyone leaves the ground on moderate rural village sites (across Cornish slate - worth combining with the gutters if they're due at the same time).
- 4Skylight surrounds cleared by hand on rural village properties (on stone cottages stock - and it's why we default to the softer end of the pressure range).
- 5Valley flashings checked and cleared before the main rinse on stone cottages and roadside inns (at moderate exposure - and it's the section of the round we plan first thing in the week).
