  • Discolouration where downpipes meet render and brick mix - near-universal on modern estate properties this far from PL3

  • Green vertical patches behind drainpipes - a regular call from Elburton on modern estate stock

The method that suits Elburton

  1. 1Softwash strength dialled for render and brick mix - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
  2. 2Two passes on the Plymstock-facing elevation where moderate weather drives the worst staining
  3. 3Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of modern estate gardens before any product goes up
  4. 4Working top-down on the Plymstock-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
  5. 5Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on modern estate stock in Elburton
