How we'd approach this in Mutley

  1. 1Two passes on the Mannamead-facing elevation where moderate weather drives the worst staining
  2. 2Lower biocide concentration around old mortar joints on urban terrace properties in PL4
  3. 3Plinth and damp-course area always rinsed last on urban terrace stock in Mutley
  4. 4Spot-treatment on lichen patches before the main softwash on painted render and exposed brick
  5. 5Pressure-tested rinse line so we never overshoot fragile painted render and exposed brick

Materials & methods we'd use here

Most Mutley properties we treat have painted render and exposed brick 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 exposed brick - never neat on urban terrace stock

  • Method

    Quaternary ammonium surfactant added so biocide clings to your painted render and exposed brick elevation in Mutley

  • Method

    Suitable for K-Rend, Weber and silicone renders — common on the newer urban terrace properties around PL4

  • Method

    Painted brickwork treated by dwell-and-rinse only on urban terrace terraces - no rotary

Work like yours, nearby

K-Rend front + gable

Edwardian render and stone surround

Heavy north-side algae softwashed off without touching the painted stone detailing.

Lime-rendered townhouse

Locally listed property, low-strength biocide and very gentle rinse — finish kept its character.
