What usually triggers the call in Laira

  • Streaking down render and pebbledash that's worse on the Lipson-facing elevation than the rest of the house
  • Algae returning fast on shaded walls thanks to Laira's exposed setting
  • Render staining at the plinth on urban terrace properties along the Embankment Road
  • Window-cill streaks running down the front of render and pebbledash after rainwater pools
  • Render mottling where chimney flashings leak slowly onto render and pebbledash

How the job would run on your Laira property

  3. 3Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of urban terrace gardens before any product goes up
  4. 4Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in 1930s semis and railway-era terraces
  5. 5Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on urban terrace stock in Laira
