Where it usually starts in Keyham

  • Render staining at the plinth on urban terrace properties along the A3064
  • Discolouration where downpipes meet painted render and limestone - near-universal on urban terrace properties this far from PL3
  • Tide-marks at conservatory roof drip lines on Victorian dockyard terraces and 1930s semis
  • Green vertical patches behind drainpipes - a regular call from Keyham on urban terrace stock
  • Render mottling where chimney flashings leak slowly onto painted render and limestone

The method that suits Keyham

  1. 1Softwash strength dialled for painted render and limestone - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
  2. 2Two passes on the Devonport-facing elevation where exposed weather drives the worst staining
  3. 3Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on urban terrace properties in PL2
  4. 4Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of urban terrace gardens before any product goes up
  5. 5Working top-down on the Devonport-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
