Bigbury wall cleaning & softwash, done properly
Bigbury weather does a number on exterior surfaces, and wall cleaning & softwash is usually the first thing to suffer. Salt-loaded south-westerlies drive everything into the windward elevations and leave a film the rain doesn't budge.
Why Bigbury matters for this kind of work
Bigbury weather does a number on exterior surfaces, and wall cleaning & softwash is usually the first thing to suffer. Salt-loaded south-westerlies drive everything into the windward elevations and leave a film the rain doesn't budge.
Above Burgh Island on the exposed South Hams coast, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. We tend to batch Bigbury bookings with jobs in Aveton Gifford the same week.

How we'd approach this in Bigbury
- 1Softwash strength dialled for painted render and pebbledash - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
- 2Two passes on the Aveton Gifford-facing elevation where very-exposed weather drives the worst staining
- 3Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on coastal village properties in TQ7
- 4Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in seafront villas and 1930s bungalows
- 5Pressure-tested rinse line so we never overshoot fragile painted render and pebbledash
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Bigbury properties we treat have painted render and pebbledash walls and a concrete tile and slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.
- Method
Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across seafront villas and 1930s bungalows
- Method
Suitable for K-Rend, Weber and silicone renders — common on the newer coastal village properties around TQ7
- Method
Painted brickwork treated by dwell-and-rinse only on coastal village terraces - no rotary
- Method
Lime render handled with a half-strength mix and a longer dwell — important on older Bigbury stock
