There's a reason wall cleaning & softwash sits near the top of every Diptford homeowner's list once spring arrives. Single-track lanes, tree cover and damp valley air create the conditions algae loves.
What's actually different about Diptford
There's a reason wall cleaning & softwash sits near the top of every Diptford homeowner's list once spring arrives. Single-track lanes, tree cover and damp valley air create the conditions algae loves.
Quiet Avon-valley parish south-east of South Brent, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. Working out of TQ9 we're rarely more than 15.6 miles from a Diptford job.
What good wall cleaning & softwash looks like here
- 1Softwash strength dialled for painted lime render and stone - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
- 2Two passes on the Avonwick-facing elevation where moderate weather drives the worst staining
- 3Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on rural village properties in TQ9
- 4Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in stone cottages and farmhouses
- 5Reduced dwell time near painted timber on stone cottages and farmhouses
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Diptford properties we treat have painted lime render and stone walls and a natural slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.
- Method
Sodium hypochlorite mixed to a strength suitable for painted lime render and stone - never neat on rural village stock
- Method
Quaternary ammonium surfactant added so biocide clings to your painted lime render and stone elevation in Diptford
- Method
Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across stone cottages and farmhouses
- Method
Painted brickwork treated by dwell-and-rinse only on rural village terraces - no rotary
Typical problems on Diptford properties
- Algae returning fast on shaded walls thanks to Diptford's moderate setting
- Render staining at the plinth on rural village properties along the local lanes off A38
- Black biofilm on painted lime render and stone where the prevailing wind blows in off Quiet Avon-valley parish south-east of South Brent
- Surface lichen on the south side of painted lime render and stone - common on rural village stock in TQ9
- Tide-marks at conservatory roof drip lines on stone cottages and farmhouses
