Pebbledash bungalow, full elevation
Sea-facing pebbledash rinsed clean, salt film lifted with surfactant — owner's first clean in nine years.
Cargreen's wall cleaning & softwash specialists
Plenty of Cargreen properties were never designed with regular wall cleaning & softwash in mind, which is exactly why it matters. Small Tamar-side village with a quay and sailing club north of Saltash, which shapes how wall cleaning & softwash on painted lime render and stone and Cornish slate actually plays out around PL12.
Why Cargreen matters for this kind of work
Plenty of Cargreen properties were never designed with regular wall cleaning & softwash in mind, which is exactly why it matters. Small Tamar-side village with a quay and sailing club north of Saltash, which shapes how wall cleaning & softwash on painted lime render and stone and Cornish slate actually plays out around PL12.
Boat owners and second-home owners want a clean that lasts the full season without callbacks. We're frequently in and around PL12, so booking-day flexibility is easier than people expect. We batch Cargreen bookings with landulph runs along local lanes off A388.
The single most common feedback we get is that the invoice matches the quote exactly. Insurance is £5m public liability with working-at-height paperwork on file for every roof visit. Two of us live within twenty minutes of the yard, which is why booking flexibility is easier than customers expect. Kiln-dried sand goes back into block-paving joints on the same visit once the surface is dry enough. 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. We keep bookings deliberately short in summer so a hot week doesn't back the diary up for a month. The van livery is deliberately low-key because half the neighbours have booked us the following month. We photograph at three points during a wall softwash — plinth, mid-elevation and eaves — for the record. Kiln-dried sand is bought in bulk pallets, which keeps the driveway top-up cost small at the invoice end. Small drone footage is available on request for high-level roof inspections without ladder time. We keep a spare crown for the surface cleaner in the van because the swivel wears faster than anything else. Winter drive seals are cured under a tarp and a heater for the last two hours so overnight rain doesn't spoil the finish. Every re-clean under our guarantee is done inside seven days, no argument about who was right.
Common issues we see in Cargreen
- Render staining at the plinth on estuary village properties along the local lanes off A388 - at moderate exposure - why photos beat phone tag for this kind of work.
- Black biofilm on painted lime render and stone where the prevailing wind blows in off Small Tamar-side village with a quay and sailing club north of Saltash - in the Cornwall Council patch - a booking pattern we've settled into over five seasons.
- Pebbledash gone blotchy where a gutter has overflowed all season on waterside cottages and Victorian villas - 5.4 miles from PL3 - worth combining with the gutters if they're due at the same time.
- Green vertical patches behind drainpipes - a regular call from Cargreen on estuary village stock - at roughly 50.451,-4.213 - one of the calls we get most in the wetter half of the year.
- Pollution film thickened over years of estuary village city air around PL12 - on painted lime render and stone - handled with the same rig we use for coastal properties.
How the job would run on your Cargreen property
- 1Two passes on the Landulph-facing elevation where moderate weather drives the worst staining (5.4 miles from PL3 - worth combining with the gutters if they're due at the same time).
- 2Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on estuary village properties in PL12 (at roughly 50.451,-4.213 - one of the calls we get most in the wetter half of the year).
- 3Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of estuary village gardens before any product goes up (on painted lime render and stone - handled with the same rig we use for coastal properties).
- 4Spot-treatment on lichen patches before the main softwash on painted lime render and stone (across Cornish slate - and it's why we default to the softer end of the pressure range).
- 5Pressure-tested rinse line so we never overshoot fragile painted lime render and stone (on waterside cottages stock - a job with a proper written scope, no verbal add-ons).
