What usually triggers the call in Lipson

  • Streaking down painted render and stock brick that's worse on the Greenbank-facing elevation than the rest of the house
  • Discolouration where downpipes meet painted render and stock brick - near-universal on urban terrace properties this far from PL3
  • Window-cill streaks running down the front of painted render and stock brick after rainwater pools
  • Render mottling where chimney flashings leak slowly onto painted render and stock brick
  • Pollution film thickened over years of urban terrace city air around PL4

The method that suits Lipson

  1. 1Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on urban terrace properties in PL4
  2. 2Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of urban terrace gardens before any product goes up
  3. 3Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in Victorian and Edwardian terraces and post-war infill
  4. 4Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on urban terrace stock in Lipson
  5. 5Pressure-tested rinse line so we never overshoot fragile painted render and stock brick
