How we'd approach this in Malborough

  1. 1Biocide concentration set for natural slate rather than a one-size mix
  2. 2Ridge re-bedding flagged separately if natural slate mortar has failed on stone cottages and modern detached
  3. 3Harness anchor verified before anyone leaves the ground on very-exposed rural village sites
  4. 4Solar arrays masked to keep softwash off the panels on newer Malborough builds
  5. 5Chimney crown treated separately - common ask on rural village stock in TQ7

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Malborough properties we treat have painted render and stone walls and a natural slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.

  • Method

    Aluminium roof ladders sized for the pitch typical of natural slate

  • Method

    Full-pitch biocide softwash via low-pressure boom across natural slate

  • Method

    Ridge re-bedding in NHL hydraulic lime on older stone cottages and modern detached where mortar has failed

  • Method

    Solar arrays worked around without disturbing fixings - common on newer Malborough builds
