Lime render and slate need the softer end of the pressure range to keep their finish. If you can see Liskeard from the end of your road, we cover you.

What Looe owners ring us about

  • Algae returning fast on shaded walls thanks to Looe's very-exposed setting
  • Render staining at the plinth on harbour town properties along the A387
  • Pebbledash gone blotchy where a gutter has overflowed all season on fishermen's cottages and Victorian terraces
  • Surface lichen on the south side of painted lime render and stone - common on harbour town stock in PL13
  • Render mottling where chimney flashings leak slowly onto painted lime render and stone

How the job would run on your Looe property

  1. 1Softwash strength dialled for painted lime render and stone - not the mix we'd use on smooth modern render
  2. 2Two passes on the Liskeard-facing elevation where very-exposed weather drives the worst staining
  3. 3Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on harbour town properties in PL13
  4. 4Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in fishermen's cottages and Victorian terraces
  5. 5Working top-down on the Liskeard-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
