Wall Cleaning & Softwash - covering Modbury and the PL21 area
If the wall cleaning & softwash at your Modbury property has started looking tired, you're not alone. Historic centres mix lime render, granite and Victorian brick in the same elevation — one pressure setting won't do.
What we see on Modbury properties
If the wall cleaning & softwash at your Modbury property has started looking tired, you're not alone. Historic centres mix lime render, granite and Victorian brick in the same elevation — one pressure setting won't do.
South Hams hilltop town of white-painted Georgian frontages, which shapes how exterior cleaning here actually plays out. If you can see Ivybridge from the end of your road, we cover you.
What good wall cleaning & softwash looks like here
- 1Two passes on the Ivybridge-facing elevation where moderate weather drives the worst staining
- 2Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on market town properties in PL21
- 3Pre-rinse on plant borders typical of market town gardens before any product goes up
- 4Working top-down on the Ivybridge-facing wall first so streaks rinse away as we go
- 5Pressure-tested rinse line so we never overshoot fragile painted lime render
Materials & methods we'd use here
Most Modbury properties we treat have painted lime render 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 lime render - never neat on market town stock
- Method
Quaternary ammonium surfactant added so biocide clings to your painted lime render elevation in Modbury
- Method
Low-volume rinse from a high-flow tank - critical on the softer finishes you see across white-painted Georgian houses and stone cottages
- Method
Lime render handled with a half-strength mix and a longer dwell — important on older Modbury stock
Where it usually starts in Modbury
- Streaking down painted lime render that's worse on the Ivybridge-facing elevation than the rest of the house
- Black biofilm on painted lime render where the prevailing wind blows in off South Hams hilltop town of white-painted Georgian frontages
- Pebbledash gone blotchy where a gutter has overflowed all season on white-painted Georgian houses and stone cottages
- Discolouration where downpipes meet painted lime render - near-universal on market town properties this far from PL3
- Window-cill streaks running down the front of painted lime render after rainwater pools
