What's actually different about Higher Compton
There's a reason wall cleaning & softwash sits near the top of every Higher Compton homeowner's list once spring arrives. Sweeping driveways and large rear elevations are where the time really goes on these properties.
Elevated residential pocket above the Compton valley, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. Most weeks we're up and down the Compton Lane between Higher Compton and the next booking.
What good wall cleaning & softwash looks like here
- 1Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of leafy suburb gardens before any product goes up
- 2Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in 1930s detached and large semis
- 3Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on leafy suburb stock in Higher Compton
- 4Reduced dwell time near painted timber on 1930s detached and large semis
- 5Pressure-tested rinse line so we never overshoot fragile render and pebbledash
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Higher Compton properties we treat have render and pebbledash walls and a concrete tile and slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.
- Method
Sodium hypochlorite mixed to a strength suitable for render and pebbledash - never neat on leafy suburb stock
- Method
Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across 1930s detached and large semis
- Method
Painted brickwork treated by dwell-and-rinse only on leafy suburb terraces - no rotary
- Method
Lime render handled with a half-strength mix and a longer dwell — important on older Higher Compton stock
Typical problems on Higher Compton properties
- Streaking down render and pebbledash that's worse on the Mannamead-facing elevation than the rest of the house
- Algae returning fast on shaded walls thanks to Higher Compton's moderate setting
- Render staining at the plinth on leafy suburb properties along the Compton Lane
- Green vertical patches behind drainpipes - a regular call from Higher Compton on leafy suburb stock
- Pollution film thickened over years of leafy suburb city air around PL3
