Wall Cleaning & Softwash in Ford
Plenty of Ford properties were never designed with regular wall cleaning & softwash in mind, which is exactly why it matters. Steep terraced streets above the Weston Mill creek, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out.

Bay fronts, pointing and lead flashings all need handling differently from the open elevations behind them. Quotes around Ford usually go out the same evening.
Common issues we see in Ford
- Streaking down painted render and stock brick that's worse on the Keyham-facing elevation than the rest of the house
- Surface lichen on the south side of painted render and stock brick - common on urban terrace stock in PL2
- Discolouration where downpipes meet painted render and stock brick - near-universal on urban terrace properties this far from PL3
- Render mottling where chimney flashings leak slowly onto painted render and stock brick
- Pollution film thickened over years of urban terrace city air around PL2
How the job would run on your Ford property
- 1Softwash strength dialled for painted render and stock brick - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
- 2Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on urban terrace properties in PL2
- 3Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in Victorian terraces and 1920s bay-front semis
- 4Working top-down on the Keyham-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
- 5Pressure-tested rinse line so we never overshoot fragile painted render and stock brick
