How we'd approach this in Avonwick

  1. 1Two passes on the South Brent-facing elevation where moderate weather drives the worst staining
  2. 2Working top-down on the South Brent-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
  3. 3Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on rural village stock in Avonwick
  4. 4Spot-treatment on lichen patches before the main softwash on granite and painted render
  5. 5Reduced dwell time near painted timber on stone cottages and converted mill buildings

Materials & methods we'd use here

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

  • Method

    Quaternary ammonium surfactant added so biocide clings to your granite and painted render elevation in Avonwick

  • Method

    Suitable for K-Rend, Weber and silicone renders — common on the newer rural village properties around TQ10

  • Method

    Painted brickwork treated by dwell-and-rinse only on rural village terraces - no rotary

  • Method

    Lime render handled with a half-strength mix and a longer dwell — important on older Avonwick stock
