Sea air keeps algae growth wetter for longer, which is why north-facing walls darken so quickly. We tend to batch Mothecombe bookings with jobs in Holbeton the same week. We batch Mothecombe bookings with holbeton runs along local lanes off A379.
Insurance is £5m public liability with working-at-height paperwork on file for every roof visit. The van carries hot and cold, softwash rig, vac pole and full drain protection so most jobs don't need a return trip. Job photos land in your inbox the same day, and are yours to keep for landlord records or insurance. Sealer is optional on stone, and we'll usually recommend skipping it unless the finish specifically wants it. Windows are usually the entry-point job for new customers, and everything else follows on from that first visit. Access photos help more than measurements when you're getting a first quote back from us. Landlords with multiple properties get a single monthly invoice covering every visit, not one per address. If the weather doesn't play ball on the day, we ring you before we set off, not after. Fresh brush heads go on the pole for every glazing job over five years old. Communication defaults to WhatsApp because photo threads keep quotes and outcomes in one place. We keep bookings deliberately short in summer so a hot week doesn't back the diary up for a month. Two-storey work is the same price as single-storey where the pole reaches — height alone doesn't drive the cost. The most expensive part of any softwash is time on site, not the chemistry. Kiln-dried sand is bought in bulk pallets, which keeps the driveway top-up cost small at the invoice end. We keep a spare crown for the surface cleaner in the van because the swivel wears faster than anything else.
What usually triggers the call in Mothecombe
- Black biofilm on painted lime render and stone where the prevailing wind blows in off South Hams estate hamlet at the mouth of the Erme with a private beach - across natural slate - a factor we build into every softwash quote here.
- Pebbledash gone blotchy where a gutter has overflowed all season on stone cottages and Georgian estate houses - on stone cottages stock - worth catching before the next wet stretch.
- Surface lichen on the south side of painted lime render and stone - common on coastal village stock in PL8 - at very exposed exposure - why photos beat phone tag for this kind of work.
- Window-cill streaks running down the front of painted lime render and stone after rainwater pools - in the South Hams District Council patch - the sort of thing owners notice from the road first.
- Render mottling where chimney flashings leak slowly onto painted lime render and stone - 9.6 miles from PL3 - the difference between a two-year finish and a five-year one.

- 2Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on coastal village properties in PL8 (in the South Hams District Council patch - the sort of thing owners notice from the road first).

- 4Spot-treatment on lichen patches before the main softwash on painted lime render and stone (at roughly 50.315,-3.937 - a job where getting the order right matters more than the products).
- 5Pressure-tested rinse line so we never overshoot fragile painted lime render and stone (on painted lime render and stone - handled with the same rig we use for coastal properties).
