  • Streaking down painted render and natural stone that's worse on the Torpoint-facing elevation than the rest of the house
  • Algae returning fast on shaded walls thanks to Millbrook's very-exposed setting
  • Render staining at the plinth on estuary village properties along the B3247
  • Black biofilm on painted render and natural stone where the prevailing wind blows in off Sat on Millbrook Lake at the south end of the Rame Peninsula
  • Surface lichen on the south side of painted render and natural stone - common on estuary village stock in PL10

The method that suits Millbrook

  1. 1Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on estuary village properties in PL10
  2. 2Window pre-wet so over-spray rinses clean - important on older glass in traditional cottages and older terraces
  3. 3Working top-down on the Torpoint-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
  4. 4Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on estuary village stock in Millbrook
  5. 5Reduced dwell time near painted timber on traditional cottages and older terraces
