Modern renders and silicone finishes look spotless for ten years, then darken overnight — there's a sweet spot to catch them. Most weeks we're up and down the A386 between Woolwell and the next booking. Exposure here is exposed - 4.5 miles from our PL3 base makes turnaround short.
If we spot something on the visit that's cheaper for you to sort a different way, we'll say so. The single most common feedback we get is that the invoice matches the quote exactly. Two of us live within twenty minutes of the yard, which is why booking flexibility is easier than customers expect. Access photos help more than measurements when you're getting a first quote back from us. Boundary walls, garage doors and bin stores usually get added to bigger visits at cost, not full rates. Every visit finishes with a five-minute tidy — sand brushed in, debris bagged, tap turned off. If the weather doesn't play ball on the day, we ring you before we set off, not after. Biocide runs get re-tested for concentration at the top of every day, not the top of every week. The rig gets rinsed after every job so cross-contamination between customers isn't ever a factor. The invoice email includes the biocide safety data sheet and dilution ratio used on your job. Two-storey work is the same price as single-storey where the pole reaches — height alone doesn't drive the cost. There's a fixed weekend rate for genuine emergencies — no gouging, published on the enquiry email. If a re-clean is needed we book it in rather than debating who was right about the surface. If a job goes wrong we say so on the invoice and we credit it — nothing gets buried. Materials data sheets are available on request for any product we use on any of our work.

Where it usually starts in Woolwell
- Thick moss on the Glenholt-facing slopes of modern interlocking tile - 4.5 miles from PL3 - why photos beat phone tag for this kind of work.
- Black algae streaks running down modern interlocking tile after a wet winter in Woolwell - at roughly 50.438,-4.108 - usually easier once the outside taps are back on in April.
- Bird-and-moss debris collecting around solar arrays on modern estate layouts - on render and brick - the sort of thing owners notice from the road first.
- Skylight surrounds collecting moss debris on modern estate properties - across modern interlocking tile - quoted from photos in most cases, no doorstep survey.
- Chimney crown moss-colonised at Woolwell's exposed exposure - on 1990s–2020s estates stock - the difference between a two-year finish and a five-year one.
The method that suits Woolwell
- 1Roof ladders adjusted for the pitch typical of modern interlocking tile on modern estate properties (on render and brick - the sort of thing owners notice from the road first).
- 2Biocide concentration set for modern interlocking tile rather than a one-size mix (across modern interlocking tile - quoted from photos in most cases, no doorstep survey).
- 3Ridge re-bedding flagged separately if modern interlocking tile mortar has failed on 1990s–2020s estates and new-build detached (on 1990s–2020s estates stock - the difference between a two-year finish and a five-year one).
- 4Solar arrays masked to keep softwash off the panels on newer Woolwell builds (at exposed exposure - the elevation that always dictates the price).
- 5Valley flashings checked and cleared before the main rinse on 1990s–2020s estates and new-build detached (in the Plymouth City Council patch - handled with the same rig we use for coastal properties).
