How we'd approach this in Brixton
- 1Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on rural village properties in PL8
- 2Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of rural village gardens before any product goes up

- 4Reduced dwell time near painted timber on stone cottages and 1960s bungalows
- 5Pressure-tested rinse line so we never overshoot fragile painted render and stone
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Brixton properties we treat have painted render and stone walls and a natural slate and concrete tile roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.
- Method
Quaternary ammonium surfactant added so biocide clings to your painted render and stone elevation in Brixton
- Method
Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across stone cottages and 1960s bungalows
- Method
Suitable for K-Rend, Weber and silicone renders — common on the newer rural village properties around PL8
- Method
Painted brickwork treated by dwell-and-rinse only on rural village terraces - no rotary
