What good wall cleaning & softwash looks like here
- 1Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of rural village gardens before any product goes up
- 2Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in stone cottages and modern detached
- 3Working top-down on the Salcombe-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
- 4Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on rural village stock in Malborough
- 5Pressure-tested rinse line so we never overshoot fragile painted render and stone
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Malborough 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 Malborough
- Method
Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across stone cottages and modern detached
- Method
Suitable for K-Rend, Weber and silicone renders — common on the newer rural village properties around TQ7
Common issues we see in Malborough

- Surface lichen on the south side of painted render and stone - common on rural village stock in TQ7
- Window-cill streaks running down the front of painted render and stone after rainwater pools
