Duloe wall cleaning & softwash, done properly

What we see on Duloe properties

When neighbours start asking who did your wall cleaning & softwash, that's usually a Duloe homeowner mid-project with us. Hillside village between Liskeard and Looe with a prehistoric stone circle, which shapes how wall cleaning & softwash on granite and painted render and Cornish slate actually plays out around PL14.

Single-track lanes, tree cover and damp valley air create the conditions algae loves. We tend to batch Duloe bookings with jobs in Looe the same week. Exposure here is exposed - 18.2 miles from our PL3 base makes turnaround short.

Payment is only ever after you've seen the photos and signed off, never up front. There's no doorstep pressure at any point in the process, and no fake deadline to sign a quote. If we spot something on the visit that's cheaper for you to sort a different way, we'll say so. The single most common feedback we get is that the invoice matches the quote exactly. We work the softer end of the pressure range by default, and only step up when a surface genuinely wants it. Cameras go on the vac pole as standard so you see the gutter before and after, not just take it on trust. Second-home owners tend to book us on annual visits with a photo pack rather than being on site. Small jobs get done in the gap between larger jobs, which is why one-off cleans aren't more expensive here. Our repeat rate for annual bookings sits north of eighty percent, which is where our diary planning starts. We book the last Friday of each month as a catch-up day, so short-notice fixes rarely wait more than a fortnight. Roof access ladders are inspected each morning and swapped out at the first sign of wear. 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. We priority-book care-home and rental customers because their timelines are usually tightest. Materials data sheets are available on request for any product we use on any of our work.

Where it usually starts in Duloe

• Algae returning fast on shaded walls thanks to Duloe's exposed setting - across Cornish slate - a call we take a lot after autumn leaf-fall.
• Render staining at the plinth on rural village properties along the B3254 - on stone cottages stock - a pattern we see through the shoulder seasons.
• Surface lichen on the south side of granite and painted render - common on rural village stock in PL14 - at exposed exposure - a booking pattern we've settled into over five seasons.
• Tide-marks at conservatory roof drip lines on stone cottages and farmhouses - in the Cornwall Council patch - a maintenance item that gets cheaper the earlier you catch it.
• Window-cill streaks running down the front of granite and painted render after rainwater pools - 18.2 miles from PL3 - quoted from photos in most cases, no doorstep survey.
