How we'd approach this in Lifton
- 1Softwash strength dialled for painted render and stone - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
- 2Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on rural village properties in PL16
- 3Working top-down on the Lydford-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
- 4Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on rural village stock in Lifton
- 5Spot-treatment on lichen patches before the main softwash on painted render and stone
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Lifton properties we treat have painted render and stone walls and a natural slate roof. That changes a few of the choices we'd make.
- Method
Sodium hypochlorite mixed to a strength suitable for painted render and stone - never neat on rural village stock
- Method
Quaternary ammonium surfactant added so biocide clings to your painted render and stone elevation in Lifton
- Method
Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across stone cottages and Victorian houses
- Method
Painted brickwork treated by dwell-and-rinse only on rural village terraces - no rotary
