Kelly Bray's wall cleaning & softwash specialists
There's a reason wall cleaning & softwash sits near the top of every Kelly Bray homeowner's list once spring arrives. Granite, cob and lime-rendered cottages all need handling differently from a modern render.

How we'd approach this in Kelly Bray
- 1Softwash strength dialled for granite and painted render - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
- 2Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of rural village gardens before any product goes up
- 3Working top-down on the Callington-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
- 4Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on rural village stock in Kelly Bray
- 5Spot-treatment on lichen patches before the main softwash on granite and painted render
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Kelly Bray properties we treat have granite and painted render walls and a Cornish slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.
- Method
Sodium hypochlorite mixed to a strength suitable for granite and painted render - never neat on rural village stock
- Method
Quaternary ammonium surfactant added so biocide clings to your granite and painted render elevation in Kelly Bray
- Method
Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across Victorian terraces and modern bungalows
- Method
Suitable for K-Rend, Weber and silicone renders — common on the newer rural village properties around PL17
