Where it usually starts in Duloe

  • Algae returning fast on shaded walls thanks to Duloe's exposed setting
  • Render staining at the plinth on rural village properties along the B3254
  • Surface lichen on the south side of granite and painted render - common on rural village stock in PL14
  • Tide-marks at conservatory roof drip lines on stone cottages and farmhouses
  • Window-cill streaks running down the front of granite and painted render after rainwater pools

The method that suits Duloe

  1. 1Softwash strength dialled for granite and painted render - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
  2. 2Two passes on the Looe-facing elevation where exposed weather drives the worst staining
  3. 3Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of rural village gardens before any product goes up
  4. 4Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in stone cottages and farmhouses
  5. 5Reduced dwell time near painted timber on stone cottages and farmhouses
